Right? "She taught my son how to eat out a woman and then introduced him to some light assplay."

I agree that the idea was better than the execution. I honestly thought the scene at her workplace was going to end up being some fantasy Nancy or Stephen made up, because the entire thing was so ridiculous. An office full of supposed journalists doesn't think to fact-check ANYTHING before accusing their well-respected colleague of all that bullshit? I actually rolled my eyes when Jinsoo yelled "you're so canceled!" at the end of that scene. And what's with the hospital staff continuing to let Stephen visit Nicholas after Catherine told them he lied about being her father? And generally being so loosey-goosey with letting visitors in the ICU? Anyone else get a super creepy vibe from Nancy and Jonathan's relationship? Like, in a "she molested her son" way? She wrote some very explicit sex scenes featuring her own son. And most of them featured an older woman teaching a younger man how to fuck. Then there were all those photos Jonathan took of her when she wasn't looking, that she was so excited about. I give it a C. Recommended with reservations.

But seriously, why is RFK Jr. that color?

Emilia Perez. The acting was great, especially Zoe Saldana and Karla Sofia Gascon, but I didn't love it overall because of the musical thing. I'm not really into musicals in general, but I heard great things about this movie and wanted to check it out. It'll get a lot of awards, but it wasn't for me.

I couldn't stop laughing at "my bare backSIDE" 😂

I liked it, but not as much as I expected to. I've never seen Chloe East in anything before and thought she was great - the opening scene with her and Sophie Thatcher was hilarious. Hugh Grant was born to play a villain and I hope he does more of this in the future.

Hopefully this is allowed and sorry if it's not, but I think there are plenty of people here who'd like to know how they can help. There are still several critical House races that haven't been called, and whichever party wins will hold it by a razor-thin margin. The House race will be the difference between full GOP control of Congress, and a Congress that could actually provide a guardrail against some of the more extreme pieces of legislation the R's are suggesting. There are ways you can help get these votes counted. Every election, thousands of mail-in ballots are thrown out for small errors, like a missing signature line, or a missing date. In 2020, around 560,000 ballots were rejected because of these errors, but many states have a process to help voters correct their ballot so it can be re-submitted. It's called ballot curing, and that's where we can help. And to be clear, this process is for counting every vote, no matter who the person voted for. Vote Save America is organizing a ton of events like phone banking or door-to-door canvassing to help people correct their ballots and get their vote counted. You can view the list of opportunities and sign up here. You don't have to live in an area with an ongoing race to participate - I live in Austin and I'm phonebanking for the CA District 45 race, for example. Right now, there's ~7k margin between the D and R candidates, and only 79% of precincts have reported. SO, if you've been wondering what you can with the election in the rearview mirror, here's your shot.

My friend was 43 when she died of colorectal cancer in June. I hope he's able to come through this.

This kind of stuff makes me ragey beyond belief. How DARE these entitled, clueless men preach about something that is entirely hypothetical to them. Yesterday I read this New Yorker article about the conservative strategy to ban abortion nationwide, and the article starts by talking about a proposition on the ballot in Amarillo called the "Sanctuary City for the Unborn Ordinance." In addition to banning abortion in the city, it also would prohibit people who live in Amarillo from getting abortions in other states. (Can they even do that? What the actual fuck?) The "sanctuary city movement" is spearheaded by this dickhead named Mark Lee Dickson, a minister from East Texas. I googled him and this is part of his bio: "Mark Lee Dickson is a God-fearing, Texas born and raised, pro-life activist who fights for the rights of all human beings from conception till natural death." Y'all, I was about to pop OFF. "Till natural death", unless it's a pregnant woman, I assume? That's when I lose the ability to fight for my own life, right? You say "till natural death" but you really mean "till natural death as long as you're not pregnant and in a position to have to choose your life or the baby's." And the whole thing about having exceptions for the life of the mother is bullshit, too - all this says to me is that I have to be on death's door before they'll "allow" an abortion. What is the line? Do I have to lose consciousness? Wait till I start bleeding out? I lost a pregnancy in 2010 and had to have a D&C. I wanted that baby more than anything and the irony was not lost on me that I was having the same procedure as many women who have elective abortions. But I will fight every day for women to be able to make that decision for themselves. Hell, indeed, hath no fury like a woman scorned, and we are beyond scorned. We are furious. Mark Lee Dickson and his ilk better get ready because we're done being treated like second-class citizens. Women get shit done. It may not happen now, and it may take some time, but we WILL get our rights back, and fuck anyone who stands in the way.

She was also on the cover for the first issue of Maxim.

Some bullshit going on in San Marcos. People finding these on their campaign signs.

For those of you raising budding horror enthusiasts, this article on The Best Horror Movies for Kids is pretty good.

I guess this is...reassuring? J/k, my family is all swamp Cajuns so HornOnTheBayou knows they'd never find his body.

You threaten him with info that will send him to jail for the rest of his life.

Jon Stewart may not be able to control himself on next week's TDS.

Like I said, it's not perfect, but one thing you can do when you click on a specific location is see how long ago the data was refreshed. That usually helps me - if it's been more than 30 minutes since the refresh, I get more skeptical about the provided wait time.

It's far superior to our next closest location, Balcones Woods, which is always super crowded. Also, don't forget about the site that tracks Travis County wait times. It's not always 100% accurate but it's still useful.

LFG! Arbor Walk location had almost no wait, fyi.

I love horror comedy - it's a great way to ease into the genre. A few other recs in that vein: Tucker and Dale vs Evil The Cabin in the Woods Bodies Bodies Bodies Freaky Happy Death Day Final Girls X Jennifer's Body

What is it that scares you? Jump scares? Supernatural stuff? Based on what you've said, I'd consider this list: Paranormal Activity (found footage, scary mostly b/c of vibes and not so much because of actual imagery) Hereditary (supernatural horror, Toni Colette being a queen) Carrie (the original) Shaun of the Dead (British zombie spoof) Ready or Not (wedding night from hell; also pretty comedic) Barbarian (Air BnB from hell; pretty good change-up in the middle) Let me know what you think of this and what you're into/not into and I can provide more recs. I'm not super into slashers so the others can give you more direction there.

Brian's rant during the hike cracked me up. "Fuck you, red shirt! You too, leggings! Fuck all of you! Fuck this mountain!"

Before Harris went on, CHD had about 10 million listeners per episode compared to Joe Rogan's 11 million. They've been 1 and 2 on Spotify for a while (Rogan in first place).
