"Hello! My name is Mrs. Notnlic, and I come from, uh, someplace FAR AWAY. Yes, that'll do. Anyway, I say we invest our votes back in the Clinton campaign!"

'Whiffing'?

Uncle Ben. Calling it.

Identifying as both-sexual, however, is downright heroic. God bless you, Darryl Whitefeather.

At least she collects $10.

I loved the moment Dash finished her bit and the auditorium sort of mumbled uncertainly, having no idea whether to clap politely, boo her off or just hope someone else had a better idea. That delicious awkwardness vindicated the joke completely for me, I'm not convinced it was aiming or ever going to be an 'erupt in…

It's a fun segment, but light on anything new or helpful when it comes to diffusing Trump's momentum. His name certainly carries weight, but my understanding is that his support is far more based around the illusion of him being self-made (which could not be much more of an illusion) and outside the political system,…

For me, her presence alone, and the inevitable reaction of the room, was the joke. Rock presented her as (something along the lines of) the academy's new head of minority outreach, with the joke being that her blackness is cancelled out in the eyes of many diversity commentators by her divergent viewpoints. All she…

It was a great joke, and Rock is certainly clever enough to know it would've silenced the room. He played both sides all night, and Dash's cameo was firmly mocking people who claim to support voices of colour being heard, but only as long as they're the right voices of colour. It's one of endless shared traits between…

Ha, very true. Although I think the 'didn't quite understand it' sums up Skinner's character to perfection, whereas 'steamed hams/aurora borealis' is merely hysterical.

"An overheated private removed his flack jacket, revealing a t-shirt with an iron-on sporting the MAD slogan, 'Up with Mini-skirts!' Well, we all had a good laugh, even though I didn't quite understand it."

"Though the title How I Met Your Mother now invokes feelings of frustration about that truly terrible series finale"

Not a great episode by any stretch, but didn't really hate it either. It all just felt out of the blue and lacking crucial details. A lot more mythology was needed to build up to an event that big - which didn't really feel very X-Files-y, in that the show's always been most effective at evoking evil lurking under the…

Haven't got a twitter account so can't see the picture, I'm afraid.

As I said, I have no idea whether Kesha's claims are true or not. I am saying anyone who isn't involved with the case, and is only picking up scraps based on media reports, has no justification in this absolute certainty of Dr. Luke's guilt, particularly when the evidence that is available can broadly be seen as more…

You're right, incorrect choice of words. Amended.

Kesha has by all accounts provided little to no compelling evidence to support her claims, and in 2011 swore under oath that Dr. Luke did not rape or drug her. I don't know if her claims are true or not, any more than anyone else on the internet does, but based on what little is available, the correct ruling was made.…

FRAKES!

Interesting. I admittedly haven't read Mockingbird in a long while, so you may well be right.

Dissenting opinion time. Regardless of the conditions of its publication and sometimes clunky prose (as one would expect from what is, by all accounts, an early draft), Watchman is a much more complex and interesting novel than Mockingbird, which is charming and elegantly written, but morally simplistic and ultimately…
