There’s a new grand dame flick on HBO max and no one told me. I love old lady movies.
Yes, please. Image
We don’t celebrate enough how Candice Bergen got thick.
Please control your stroooong impulse to distract me from my singular point: Candice Bergen got thick. The end.
Wow. Welp.
You are so...contemptuous of women that when handed this cast, you make this movie? Are you kidding me?

(It isn’t 6pm and I am already drunk as a skunk and this is planned to go for hours. You bout to get these tweets.)
I planned for months to be able to have a cocktail tonight. I feel like Batman for pulling it off.

Hi. I am going to describe something and ask you if there is a word or term for that, okay? This is a warning just in case you’re already drinking.
You know how a book blurb or theater ad or sodium/artist intro has blurbs from their reviews? Is there a term d’art for cherry-picking words from reviews out of context?
Example: “his lyrics were so banal they surreptitiously crossed into interesting, if only because one couldn’t guess what might be left to say” becomes “NYT calls Blue Berry’s latest work INTERESTING!”

Okay Southerners & etiquette experts, I’ve got one for you. A vendor (I’m the client) sent me a corporate Christmas gift. Nice. Thank you. Anyway, they have since emailed me to confirm that I got it. The southerner in me feels like that’s shade for not sending a thank you card.
I think that, because as you likely know, when someone in or from the U.S. south “follows up” about their gift IT IS SHADE ON YOU AND YOUR FAMILY, ESPECIALLY THE MOTHER WHO FAILED TO RAISE YOU.
So, is this shade?

Was I supposed to send a thank you card for a corporate gift?

Is this shade?

This seems accurate.
I assume I will teach in person in fall semester and will likely be on at least one of two vaccine shots by then. Maybe flying by April 2022. Live events outside by summer 2022. Indoor events, maybe winter 2022. Maybe.
Based on this thread, I started asking my colleagues and read some of the science flying around and that’s where I am

I know I am late but I streamed the Taylor Swift almost-a-double-album-of-new-releases this weekend and SHE DID WHAT SHE HAD TO DO!
I am not surprised *per se*. She has been a good pop writer with killer instincts since she emerged from the country girl swamp. But she has never had much to say. She just says nothing really well. But this time she got words.
I actually said, “bish comme dit on?!!” to this track. 😂😂

It has been a big Hallmark Christmas movie season and I stand ready to declare the worst of the lot.

It is "Deliver By Christmas".
Officially, "sparks fly" when a widower meets a baker. Unofficially, Josh is a f*ckboi tech bro who is so far below this woman's hotness scale that the whole thing is farce. hallmarkmoviesandmysteries.com/deliver-by-chr…
I mean, look at her. And then look at him. Look at her. And look at him.
