Yeah, I strongly suspect her ongoing confusion is going to be the comedy highlight of the season. 

She’s always seemed extremely young and spritely for her age but this presidency has aged us all approximately 5 billion years and she is no exception. I agree she’s probably exhausted.

I’m guessing it would be similar to Australia, where there aren’t actually that many kids available for permanent adoption to strangers, because there is a strong preference for rehoming to a close family member (or temporarily fostering and returning to their bio parents). Last time I saw the stats there were…

Idgi at all. I don’t think it’s necessarily bad to be a bitch in politics, but nothing about Warren reads that way to me anyway? She doesn’t give off a vibe of being difficult to work with or anything. I guess these are the same people who popularised the idea that Hillary Clinton is a bitch when from what I gather…

Yes, there’s a real kindness at the heart of the way the character is performed and written, without sacrificing the edge of how extremely ludicrous she is. It’s additionally refreshing to have such a distinctive comedic role written for a woman in her sixties.

Is the HBO-bias why Julia Louis-Dreyfus kept winning for Veep? Don’t get me wrong, she’s great in it, but I don’t know if she’s great enough that it makes sense that she repeatedly beat Liz Lemon and Leslie Knope, who feel infinitely more culturally influential as characters. 

I really loved Fleabag and everything, but as an individual comedic performance it seems insane to compare Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Catherine O’Hara. Purely from the perspective of performance, Moira Rose is probably the funniest character of the last decade. The accent alone should be winning some kind of comedy…

They’re not the same as Trump supporters, but they’re largely still wrong to flood her mentions with corrections, even if they’re intended to be gentle and well-meaning. The sheer number of twitter responses in situations like this can be overwhelming, and not enough people stop to think about whether their voices are…

A 38 y.o guy friend of mine has what is so clearly an eating disorder to me and his ex, but it’s never recognised that way by doctors, therapists etc because it’s so easy for him to cloak it in the language of fitness and health. I think a ton of guys are going under the radar with orthorexia. 

I would literally murder for Catherine O’Hara as Samantha. They even look a little similar.

until the internet told me it was messy I would have called it neat 

As a white Aussie person I had to read the article to even understand what people thought was wrong with it, she looks like a completely normal kid to me. It’s really sad that white supremacy has given people a complex about the natural behaviour of their hair.

Sigh, i’ll have to try and keep a closer eye on him. 

That sucks, I’m sorry. My dad isn’t really at that point, I don’t feel like he has dementia (and he’s had CTs pretty recently), it’s just sort of routine cognitive decline for someone at that age, and that is significant enough on its own. He forgets conversations. He sometimes makes really weird decisions and can’t…

Oh yeah, physically I’m sure his body is falling apart around him. He doesn’t really strike me as the kind of guy who pays diligent attention to caring for his own health. Mentally though, he still seems really sharp, but that can deteriorate so, so fast. 

It happens so fast, too. It feels like my father is a completely different person from who he was a year ago, and he’s only 73. Sanders seems fine now but four years from now?

Seriously, everyone needs a friend that they can share their jerkiest feelings with.

I think we’re definitely in a cultural moment where we look upon people without nuance, and it is pretty fucked up. I thought her comments were shitty but that doesn’t mean she is a shitty person in general. I’d hate to be a public figure right now, it seems terrifying.

I don’t think she should be run out of the business or anything, but it wasn’t the initial tweets that stuck with me so much as that she signed off her explanation by imploring people to believe women. Like, that’s a meaningful phrase, not just our get out of jail free card when we’ve acted like an asshole.

Yeah, I’ve always liked Miley, but assuming it’s true that he is struggling with a drug problem, it’s absolutely fucked to make that public against his will. It’s not like he’s been out there dragging her name through the mud and she had to retaliate.
