So, still none for Gretchen Weiners.

As a Canadian, I will never understand the American hard-on for handguns. The very idea of them makes me nervous. Why do you want these terrible things? Is there a benefit besides the comfort of theoretically having more guns than a hypothetical bad guy? Because there aren’t too many news stories that are like “good…

As someone upthread said, the gallery is awesome, and there’s also a great general museum. There’s a great big pterosaur skeleton, and this enormous musica clock with dancing wooden people.

I’m a huge fan of “Aida” (the musical, not the opera). Overly-opulent score and amped-up stylism. Yummy theatre goodness.

Her hair is so perfect it makes me want to weep.

Oh my God, I loved these books. I STILL love these books. My favourite was “I Want to Go Home”, about a kid who continuously escapes summer camp in ridiculous ways. Korman also wrote some fantastic survivial-style trilogies with teenage characters – “Island”, “Everest”, and “Dive”. Those were less humourous and more…

I was sure that theatre and film were one of the exceptions to this rule – maybe subject to why the race is specified, I guess. Colour-blind casting is good and all, but some roles are written for specific races and aren’t going to work with different ones. Hamilton, for example, is written to be performed by POC, and…

After reading other comments and getting more information, it seems like the foster parents are behaving pretty unethically, and more concerned about media coverage than the little girl.

I can’t imagine how I would have felt if I was taken from my home and family when I was six. When you’re six, your parents are your whole world. This cannot possibly be in the best interests of the child.

It’s surreal to me that the rest of the world cares about Canada all of a sudden. Hello. You scare us.

I once read a review that described him as the world’s uphappiest catcher’s mitt and now I think of it every time I see his face.

All this has done for me is made me want a bagel.

You know, she really grew on me, and I didn’t expect her to! I think her forged-in-the-fire determination to survive made her pretty compelling. Not exactly pleasant, but compelling.

It warms my heart that she went from being embarrassed about being bookish to seeing Hermione as an inspiration. You just know that if we had house-elves, she’d be advocating for them too.

Oh God, I know. It definitely has appeal. They can’t objectify us if they can’t see us!

FIGHT ME.

This is true. I’m salty because I went to see Faustus and was SO disappointed. It’s worse than any of Shakespeare, even the terrible stuff. Even Two Gentlemen of Verona.

Anyone who’s read Marlowe, and read Shakespeare, and still thinks they might be the same dude, is probably illiterate and hasn’t actually read either.

What a steaming pile of horse dung. I’m pretty sure autocorrect doesn’t even recognize “rape”, and the T and the P aren’t remotely close together, so all in all the “typo” argument is Grade-A bullshit.

Weird. I was 15 and my parents asked me to watch my little brother when I accidentally wished him away to the Goblin King. Oops. :/
