The thought of Pratchett’s short story collection just makes me so sad. Not because it won’t be great, but because there won’t be any more, ever again.

And now, Fox News, tell us more about the “war on Christmas.”

Aaand with 2016's race to the bottom drawing to a close, Stanford still isn’t even close to the forerunners! Try harder, Stanford.

I always think Australia sounds great and then I hear something like this and dissolve into a pile of nope.

Oh I don’t know; if I could get by on wearing great shoes and being paid to go to parties that sounds pretty grand. Good work if you can get it. I think maybe it’s MEANT to be dismissive but people don’t realize how hard it is to cultivate a reputation of being constantly, fabulously entertaining and then living up to…

Can we talk about how cute her dog is though.

I feel like comparing her to Paris Hilton isn’t quite fair; Zsa Zsa may have been a socialite but she knew what she was about! She had a level of self-awareness that is uncommon in Hollywood, both then and now. The rest of us can only aspire to such wit and fablulousness.

Kate Beaton is a treasure and we don’t even deserve her.

Sounds like she could use a nice bottle of wine, really.

It would have for me too so I looked it up and while his parents are/were, he’s said he doesn’t identify with the religion. Whew. Crush maintained.

So when Kylo Ren is interrogating her, he mentions the ocean and the island that she “imagines”.

Do we have confirmation about whether Vanessa/Copycat will be making an appearance in the sequel?

This has The Rock in it, and so I will watch it. So it goes.

The thing that gets me most, for whatever reason, is “our world.” Like, why? Why on earth should it be your world, asshole? It’s not enough that your group is the most powerful – it has to be the only group that exists?

God. Madonna, though. I know she’s kind of a ridiculous person, but my heart still breaks for her a little. Don’t love him, Madonna, he’s terrible.

Geez, this sneering at poor Charlotte there really doesn’t seem warranted. She’s a mom. She’s scared for her kid. She has good reason to be scared for her kid. Are we supposed to be laughing at her? This isn’t funny.

This isn’t something I can really devote more than 30% interest to, but I still have to ask: Is... Is Kanye West ok?

Yes, being assaulted and traumatized means she no longer laughs, smiles, finds things amusing, takes joy in the world. She is required to spend 68% of her time crying and the rest of it walking in the rain. Them’s the rules.

I’ve loved this guy since I saw him play Sebastian in the otherwise-meh Little Mermaid on Broadway. Seriously, his version of Kiss the Girl outdoes the original. I’m so pleased he got famous.

Actually, NSB gets really high waves so surfers like it. And it’s quite a cute little town. As long as you’re not going out at night, or into known shark hotspots, you’re really fine.
