God, I just never really think his acting is good. I can’t buy him in any role.

There needs to be more long term changes. Yeah, Idris Elba is a great actor who deserves a nomination, but a big issue is that mainstream movies aren’t diverse enough. People of color aren’t getting hired enough behind the scenes. Projects that don’t feature white, straight middle class people don’t get enough funding…

Older people are kind of tough because sometimes they do mean well, but say it wrong. My Oma used to call Asian people ‘Oriental people’ and I do think that she honestly didn’t mean it in an offensive way. She’s just 86 and originally from Britain. I just had to gently explain to her that we don’t use that word…

People can be so unsympathetic. I grew up in a small town too. I hope she doesn’t get harassed by anyone. Small towns can get kind of mean and small minded. She probably didn’t come from a popular family in town, or they’re opinion would be different.

If that the reason... Ew.

True, but they calculated the BAC she would have had and it was between a 0.01 and 0.05. Which is well below the legal limit. I’m sorry you lost your uncle.

1) Stay super calm at all times. Be very Zen. If you need to take a moment between responses to make sure your tone is measured, that’s fine. Actually pausing is a good idea because it allows you to gather your thoughts and stops you from sounding flustered. If they tell or interrupt you, wait until they’ve finished…

You need more stars

Why would the DAs office want to appeal. I mean, it’s not really her fault that she has a rare medical condition that she didn’t know about, and she’s taking steps to treat that condition. And it’s not like anyone was harmed by her accidental intoxication. She wasn’t driving recklessly and wasn’t actually in an…

Preach. One of my co-workers was an engineer, but ended up getting laid off. She’s taking some time to work and figure out what she wants to do and then heading to grad school.

But then, he would have to sue the mother of his children, and if he loves his children, he shouldn’t do that.

I’m guessing alcohol was involved.

If Chrissy thinks your opinion is stupid, she’ll tell you. A lot of other celebrities ignore it, but I think her way of handling it is funnier.

So, I don’t know if I’m over reading the situation, but does anyone else think the assumption was made because John and Chrissy are white? Generally, I feel like the ‘why does nobody get married before having kids anymore’ comments don’t get made towards white celebrity couples.

You thank them for everything they gave you, but you can mention one gift in particular, ‘thank you for x and y, the x you got me was beautiful/useful/whatever’.

I found out that Mexicans do that yesterday from a friend of mine, which is funny, because Germans do the same thing (or at least my family does). I am starting to wonder if the whole celebrate on Christmas Day thing is just an American thing.

Forget your mom. Come cook for me next year

If it makes you feel any better, tomorrow won’t be Christmas anymore, but it will be the weekend. I hope you have a really great weekend.

For lack of a better phrase, what sort of ‘group’ are you’re parents from? I thought they were stuffy, conservative white people, but all the stuffy, conservative white people I know are definitely not vegetarian teetotallers. Actually they tend to swing more on the opposite side of the spectrum. Is that a rude…

There’s a girl I know who’s name is Isis (after the goddess) and apparently she’s gotten a lot of rude comments from people when she’s introduced herself and from people who stumble upon her social media accounts. Which is ridiculous and makes me feel kind of bad for her. I think it’s a pretty name.
