HA! The civil emergency sirens started going off all over my county this morning starting at 4am and this was the PD response:

Okay but...how else do you get the boys to keep jockin’ and chase you after school?

ugh, seriously?? I would 100% rather have Denise than Abraham! Those two basically represent (what I imagine must be) the warring factions of the writers room.

for sure! My friend has been with her lady for 2 years but they have had to do the long-distance lovin’ for 8 months. One of the most frustrating things they deal with is trying to talk everyday - there’s only so much caring you can do about your partner’s coworker drama when you’re 2000 miles away. This app seems…

You guys think there’s any correlation between the hiring of a no-nonsense babysitter and the naughty toddler behaving himself?

As obnoxious as it is for...

YES. I 100% want to be a fly on the way for any conversation Hillary and Huma have about their terrible husbands, especially if it involves them indulging in forbidden cheesecake.

If anyone is having trouble visualizing this scenario, here’s a helpful image:

dang, lady, that sucks so much. I’ve struggled with my ladycave a ton because I got C-Diff in the hospital when I was just 28 - treatment for that is absolutely brutal and wiped out the micro-organisms I’m supposed to have.

The issue of consent is 100% relevant to this discussion. Many scifi/fantasy mediums have tackled this but none so well (imo) as Buffy.

Guys, we covered this with the Buffybot - Obscene and gross but very useful when it comes to fighting the undead.

I also think it means “women working alongside men as if they are equals (haha) and by the way, those very same women are having sex and popping birthcontrol like whorecandy”.

Fair about Sulu, I get that he was modeled after a Japanese character. This past month I watched Netflix’s Daredevil and Lucy (the Scarlett Johansson movie, do not recommend) where there was this endless supply of villainous, generic, and interchangeably Asian ninja/samurai warriors. So I agree, it’s probably just a…

I like that idea. I know that Samuel L. Jackson did a lot of classic samurai training for his lightsaber battles so you’re right, it’s for sure a stylistic influence for some Jedi. It would be great to have an Asian Jedi (or a Mexican one! And actually, Diego Luna would be a perfect Jedi name).

I’m not Asian so I can only ask - isn’t it kind of annoying that any Asian sci-fi character is always a samurai? Obviously samurai swords can be used by anyone (Michonne) but it’s pretty much a given that an Asian character will be great with one. Like Korean John Cho as a samurai-sulu. I dunno, maybe that’s not a…

This is just so horrifying. I wish very much that I hadn’t read those details, they are hauntingly specific. Sounds like a lot of creepy shit was going down between these two but holy shitsnacks, this ended up like Snowpiercer II: The Island Years.

And even if this was true (it’s not), what sort of conditions would there have to be for a woman to be forced to choose this ‘prison of guilt and shame’ rather than bear the child?

you’re not alone, friend. I shockshouted at certain quotes, totally freaked my dog out. I just couldn’t believe what I was reading...

Ah, yes! Spicy dill pickle and chunky peanut butter on whole wheat; my daily grade-school packed lunch. As an adult, I haven’t been able to bring myself to make one...maybe today is the day I revisit my youth.

that’s a good analogy - I also thought of this song (and others with dramatic breaks that shift in tone) sort of like a Klimt; gold leaf could be seen as jarring or out-of-place if you are looking at it as a classical painting but without those expectations, it’s perfect.
