Where was all of this rah-rah only β€œAmericans” should perform at the Super Bowl energy when fucking Coldplay was the headliner?

The reason I know the cancellation of AJLT was sudden is that there is no way SJP would have allowed so much screen time for a person to explain why their name was Epcot if she knew it was the series finale. #SATC

If this country wants to keep putting TV personalities in the White House, I suggest the next one we elect is Stephen Colbert.

Of course! But there are ways to simplify the source material while still making the basic plot make sense!

Watching β€˜The Wheel of Time’ should be enough proof that Amazon should never have any creative control over James Bond. So much convoluted nonsense.

Had to google just to make sure this wasn’t an AI image. Nope β€” this is Ferdinand Porsche, Nazi party member and close friend of Hitler, who was later arrested on charges of being a war criminal and spent nearly two years in prison.

I truly believe all Americans should be required to work a customer service or food service job for at least one year β€” bartending, waiting tables, cash register, etc. Maintaining your cool around drunk or irritable people is a life skill you can’t fully learn elsewhere.

I’m legit a little concerned about Michelle Obama? I mean, absolutely GOOD FOR HER on not attending the inauguration, but skipping Carter’s funeral felt strange. Two major events and no actual reason? Am I just veering into Kate Middleton disappearance territory?!

Last week on #Outlander, Claire was like β€œGeneral Lee? I don’t recognize that name.” And I was like, β€œHe shit the bed at the Battle of Monmouth, you in danger, girl!”

Sure enough, this week’s episode is the Battle of Monmouth. Thanks, #Hamilton lyrics, for being a solid history primer!

The Christian Case for 'Happy Holidays' Well wishes should be addressed in the broadest possible terms.

β€œTo wish someone well only in the sense that matters to you without regard for what matters to them is to defeat the purpose of wishing someone well in the first place.”

RFK Jr. wants fluoride out of drinking water. Oregon shows what’s coming. Fluoride is added to water to strengthen teeth and reduce cavities, but communities are abandoning the practice because of health concerns.

True story: We lived in Germany the year my kid turned 2. When we moved back to the U.S., his dentist immediately knew which teeth he had pre-move vs which came in abroad. Just a few months without fluoridated water caused obvious setbacks to his tooth health.

Went to my first K-pop concert last week, and I gotta say, I get it now. Have had a few CIX earworms (namely β€œBad Dream” and β€œLovers or Enemies”) in my head for days now. Check out some of their NYC concert below:

Dua Lipa's New Album 'Radical Optimism' Plunges Ahead, Slowly Inches Her Off the Dancefloor It's a small step off the dancefloor -- a toe in the adjacent infinity pool, if you will. Dua Lipa is the kind of pop star who can subtly slip into a new era and a new sound without rolling out a whol...

Kinda surprised Dua Lipa chose to perform "Happy for You" on SNL last night rather than "French Exit," but honestly, the whole album is good enough she could just pick any song out of hat to play wherever.
