OK. Am one of the weirdos who thought Gaga was lovely in ‘Hotel’ (noobs + experienced actors alike seem to do well in Ryan M joints ;). “Star is Born” remakes have traditionally been viewed as insta-bombs, but there’s a fair chance that Lady G will make this work if B Coop puts his MFA to good use*.

Niiice: “In my harrowing travels through the endless and labyrinthine interpersonal vendettas within the vegan YouTube community” sounds almost Miltonic (am not dissing; just take this as a weird outburst from a JM fangirl who re-reads ‘Tenure of Kings & Magistrates’ every few yrs & encourages others to do same ;)

Rly? I recently added effect of circumcision on penile sensitivity to my ‘research’ list—it’s not, like #1 or anything, but Gore Vidal’s Myra Breckenridge made such a fuss about it that I’m curious, & it feels a bit indelicate to kick about in an Exes’-Poll...

My own theory is 80s-Camp/Irony. A friend from my late-80s YA years swears I once read stories from Weekly World News to Susan Sontag, while she waited for a co-worker to make her espresso. And the attraction of 80s Irony at the time was so powerful, that Ms S happily listened.

Uh, wow. SO many questions: why does this Heartland gal sound like Tairrie B on sopers? Wasn’t Lost in Space b/w? And wtf, man?

Indeed. My carefully constructed Mid-Life Crisis Planning List totally foundered on the “have a fling with an 18 y/o” deal. Like, we could have some fun hours watching anime, but a casual sex fling? with a teen boy? At that stage, most of ‘em are proud just ‘cause they’ve almost figured out what-goes-where...

But, damn; who can resist listening to Kendra (expected a Liz Renay-ish camp-pleasure, & instead just found her strangely likeable)? Still, Kendra was far from being the 1st x-Bunny to reveal Hef’s depressing, anti-intimate, assembly-line sex practices.

Been thru so many Waves, it’s hard to see where the water’s headed anymore. BUT... you millennial women rock.

That was my initial leaning, too. But, over the past few years, there’ve been lots of troubling stories suggesting Depp’s been stuffing his head with booze and coke.

What? Can’t even deal w/a wee chemical burn, in the name of stinking l’elegante? Wuss.

Yes, to the Obama, part—but, oh, nooo to <3ing LBJ! From what I can gather he’s been unfairly judged by many, but aside from the Civ Rights Acts, he does NOT sound like a stellar president.

Uh, unh. Last time I hustled too fast getting to work, I fell down a flight of ~6 marble steps in our bldg lobby. Our Security folks ratted me out to HR, & I lost nearly 2 hours trying (fruitlessly) to evade an HR dragnet, & ultimately ended up in custody with an overly earnest HR manager who ate yet another chunk of…

Free Bookbub Rocks! (except Zombie Apocalypse stories. I hate Zombie stories so much, I won’t even read ‘em for $0 & find it a little disturbing that there’s an entire Zompocalype genre...).

I doubt you need the advice, but IME, when dealing w/pain—whether the cause be weight-gain, back problems, achilles tendon, & yes, even a pendulous bosom—there’s no justifiable reason to run unless you’re being pursued by a knife-wielding maniac (granted, for anyone living in an urban area, this is easier to preach…

Awwww... Bill Clinton, back when flashing one’s thong at him just seemed like, an obvious mode of procedure :\.

<3 s AND *s...

FWIW—as someone who was top-heavy at a wee size 2—bouncing on a mid-range rebounder (mini-trampoline) is the only workout I could ever sustain w/o feeling like my boobs were gonna fly off.

Hee! When Bill was gov of Arkansas, HRC did get major blow-back for saying in an interview that she wasn’t the sort of 1st Lady to stay at home, ‘baking cookies.’ The hobbyist lobby is old, & fearsomely powerful ;).

The Brooks op-ed (like DB himself) is an unnecessary belaboring of the obvious—at least, that’s why it made me cringe—’cause, who’s not aware that politicians tend to succeed on charisma as well as policy? It’s kind of embarrassing to see a piece like this in the NYT. So HRC’s warmth & social finesse is just a few…

Uh, huh. The Silent Majority would be stymied by their successors (at least, even Nixon felt safe disavowing the Bible’n’Bircher far-Right as ‘whackos’). Our country needs a really good shrink.
