“For an additional $756, guests will also be given ‘blasters’ crudely carved out of wood. They will be required to make their own ‘pew-pew’ sounds.”

In an ideal world, a cis person or trans person could play any role. But that is not the world we live in. In our world a cis person can play a trans role but a trans person cannot play a cis role. Honestly, I can’t think of a single time a trans person has played a cis person (I’m sure if you look hard enough, there…

This could only happen because Netflix removed the D&D episode that stopped Neil falling down the dark path.

Remember that Beck record “One Foot in the Grave”, which was originally released in 1994?  Now THAT’S a Folk album.

I know this is not the mythology the show is likely linking to, but during the final scene, I just kept reflecting back to a passage from Homer’s Iliad about Eris, the ancient Greek goddess of discord and strife, in the middle of battle:

This is a downright painful read. Giz must have a coffee aficionado on staff somewhere.

I think America fell for Rudy after 9/11 more than NYC. 

Rudy had the advantage of being the only US leader on TV aside from GW Bush and could only come out ahead in that comparison.

The same thing happened to America with Rudy just after 9/11. THIS WILL PASS.

100% Kramer.

Thank you. There will never be another Republican candidate who isn’t seen as an existential threat to democracy and thus requires progressives to hold their tongues. We’ll keep getting Bidens and compromises and shitty candidates - American politics will continue to be a game of lesser evils. Pointing this out will…

They don’t care if my vote counts and given that my state actually votes blue we ought to have a say in who represents us.

You may not have asked for sympathy but you so get it, giving up smoking is easily the hardest thing I’ve ever done and the two weeks after I quit were horrendous, I’ve never felt so physically awful in my life (and I was once hospitalised with pneumonia and the worst case of Chicken Pox the Doctors had ever seen at…

After being tobacco-free for more than a decade, “the asshole started smoking again this year”? The phrasing here is a red flag, and frankly, SHAM comes off as a bit of an asshole herself. Quitting smoking is *hard*; relapses are common, and the smoker who relapses usually feels pretty bad about it. You don’t call…

I am entirely sympathetic to the letter writer and ANYONE who is repulsed by tobacco smoking. I’m glad things have changed—laws, taxes, social opinions, etc. But man it is fucking hard to quit nicotine. For me anyway. I’ve never had a problem with any other addictive substance or behavior but nicotine has really…

I feel bad about sending this long story just to ask a simple question, but… how do I be more “the guy” for my boyfriend who wants to be more “the girl”? Not just sexually, but in everyday life?

Scarcella’s use of the term “biological male” in that context is a huge red flag for transphobia. And guess what? A little reading makes it damned clear that Scarcella is transphobic as hell.

brooke's family like sharks parsing out who won each course was such a juxtaposition

You, Sir-Or-Madam, are possessed of a cold, black heart, and no doubt are the type of fellow-or-female who delights in the misfortune of frail orphans or tubercular puppies. I shake my head grimly, and bid you good day.
