Actually, I think it would be at least somewhat better, although that’s incredibly unhealthy and I don’t think that should be the way actors work. Those 40 pounds do not come off as easily as they go on, and they put enormous strain on the body. At least then, she wouldn’t have been essentially cosplaying in a fat…

Depression may be more common per capita, but in terms of mortality, anorexia/eating disorders have a higher mortality rate. 

Sure, because let’s perpetuate that misogyny for another generation. Be better. 

Thank you for unintentionally proving my point. The fact that you think that any of these women does not fall into the category of objectively, very attractive women is astounding. The fact that you think their physical appearance is anywhere on par with Steve Buscemi’s is literally unbelievable. Name for me one…

Oh man, I thought I was the only one. My family mocks my love of Granny Smith apples. Apparently, they think they’re only for baking. But I love the tartness of Granny Smith. I’ll eat Gala or Honeycrisp, but my preference is always Granny Smith. They’ve got a satisfying crunch and so much flavor.

‘What’s next, only a Danish Prince can play Hamlet?’ I don’t say this about Sean Penn often, but I think he made a very good point.

God, I hope so!

Good for her (and for you). I don’t fuck around anymore waiting to see if a possible impending natural disaster is going to head my way. I learned my lesson a decade ago after spending a couple of tense days watching floodwaters creep closer and closer to my (basement) apartment. It’s not worth the stress. Stuff can…

This was my thought, too. I’m an above-average home cook and a thoroughly average baker. I’ve seen a few episodes of Worst Cooks in America, and I could definitely beat those people, bu if we’re talking about anything beyond that, I know better. Being able to do something at home, in my own time, is different than…

I loved it for all its stupidity, and I basically read it the same way you did. “Oh, y’all don’t even want to work for the scumbag like, at all? Yikes, OK, we didn’t think he was that bad. Well OK then.” My friend read the headline and the statement to me when we were at lunch. My immediate reaction was that this…

Police were also the biggest abuser of the discount program. They would order two meals for themselves and when we would tell them that the discount was for dine-in only, not takeout, they would get mad and insist that both meals were dine-in. We would deliver two meals to the table, they would ask for the check, pay,…

Oh he is 100% going to take the default summary judgment. That we’re even wondering whether this will happen astounds me. It seemed clear to me from the moment the suit became public that he would never respond to it. Andrew has nothing to gain from responding to the suit, and he loses basically nothing if he ignores…

I remember a handful of “age-old” truisms (ie: bullshit) about which people are bad tippers from my serving days: senior citizens, women dining alone, teenagers, and (because I worked with some racist assbags) “Mexicans” and black people. None of those prejudicial stereotypes seemed based in reality to me*, and I…

Yeah, that was my thought, too. It’s not like Rogue was a career-making role for Paquin. True Blood made her a household name. And even that didn’t really vault her career into the stratosphere. She’s one of the weaker actors on that show, and the writing didn’t do her character any favors. 

I’m lucky that our family has avoided pretty much all of that. It took my sister a while to work through some of those feelings, and I do think that eventually my parents came around a bit and worked harder to connect with her.

Yep, we asked all of our favorite local places, and they all preferred ordering directly from them. We rarely do delivery anyway, maybe once or twice a year for pizza. Everything else is takeaway. 

I rarely caught Craig Ferguson’s show (just on too late for me), but I always had a healthy appreciation for his intellect and thoughtfulness, whether he was doing comedy or being sincere. Corden does in many ways seem to be the opposite of that. I recall mostly just being disappointed when he was named because the…

Being aggressively mediocre and yet continually failing upward is what gets me about him. For the life of me, I cannot figure out how he has managed to parlay the personality he has into the career he has. I’ve never cared for his carpool karaoke bits because so much of it seems to focus on James Corden showing off…

It is good. You won’t be disappointed. I saw it in 2019 on tour, and basically had tears in my eyes within the first five minutes. I liked it so much that I bought tickets to see it again the next week, and it held up to multiple viewings. I’m so excited to see this come to Apple TV+.

I cry through “Me and the Sky” every time.
