Branagh gets off scott free, although he’s the one who broke his marriage vows? The saucy minx who broke no vows gets ALL the blame?

She didn’t break up Emma Thompson and Kenneth Branagh. Kenneth Branagh broke them up.

oh? did she do that? i thought branagh did that.

I’d say it was Branagh’s dick that broke them up.

I think its perfectly acceptable to ask what’s in the dish, and given all the allergy and food safety stuff professional kitchens have to adhere to; the chef should know what’s in the food.

I’m not vegan, but I do the same thing for my kids and I (and secretly my husband) when my MIL invites us over for one of her patented Pots of Hot Garbage. (I don’t know what Cheeseburger Fondue is, or why SIL wants it as her birthday dinner, but I refuse to find out.)

I think it’s part of a waiter’s job to know what people with specific dietary preferences can eat - especially when it comes to allergies. A good waiter will ask if anyone has any dietary restrictions and help them order something that they can safely/willingly eat.

Look, I’m one of the biggest supporters of waitstaff because their jobs are HARD man. I get it. But in this day and age, veganism isn’t idiosyncratic and yes, they are supposed to know the major ingredients of the foods they serve. If they don’t know, they can always find out.

I like that she’s very outspoken about her politics and very supportive of women’s causes - and she was that before everybody jumped on the feminist train. One of her famous costars even mailed her that she needed to shut up (the consensus is that this is Matt Damon - another reason to hate him).

I’m from the North East and a friend of mine was/is researching the heroin epidemic up there... apparently it’s a known thing that there are very predatory “rehabs” throughout Florida. I don’t know the mechanics of it but I guess they have recruiters who are paid per head that they bring in, so a lot of people from…

Wow! I didn’t know SF was playing that game too. It’s so terrifying to think of how once you cross below a certain line, for whatever reason, no one has any empathy for you anymore.

What about the poor paparazzi and bloggers and news reporters and trinket sellers that earn their meager living off covering this event. Think of the leeches!

Thank you. This “Oh, my, I’m shocked!” response is completely disingenuous.

How about using the money from the royal wedding to help the homeless? Wait, what year is this? Oh yeah. Never mind.

If I were the PR manager for the Royal Family, I would advise Harry and Meghan to marry in a small, private ceremony and donate their wedding fund (if that’s how these things work) to a UK charity. They would be beloved.

It seems that Lauer is not only still watching the TV show that dumped him after he was accused of sexual misconduct by several women, but offering his creative input to the show’s producers while he is in exile.
