I used to go to UCB a lot and around 2010-ish, Horatio Sanz would come to shows with the girl from My Life as Liz, who was probably maybe 19 or 20 at most. Not that this accuser needs that much back up, but I’ve thought Horatio Sanz was gross for years because of that.  Read more

I’m not shocked at all that Jimmy Fallon would look the other way while he was on a comedy show solely for being an untalented white guy. He already looked the other way while he "interviewed" the Cheeto King on national television. Read more

I liked the comic a whole, whole lot but it was anything but thoughtful about the core premise with regards to genetic karyotype as a whole... thing. Like, it’s a comic that wants karyotype to fit into a very neat box in a way that it very much does not. I hope the show is thoughtful about it in a way that the comic Read more

Simone made the best decision for herself. No medal would have been worth the potential risk of competing when you shouldn’t. She along with Suni, Jordan, Grace, MyKayla, and Jade should all be proud of themselves. I just wish Suni was going somewhere other than Auburn. Read more

That’s just smart. I don’t know whether her decision was strong or brave (I think it was, but that’s not as relevant), but it was absolutely rational and smart. She’s going to live in that body for the rest of her life, and risking death or serious injury just for yet another medal isn’t worth it. Read more

You must mean every Burger King onion ring ever made. Why even have it as an option if you're just going to screw it up? Whole generations think an onion ring is just a crunchy shell for a slimy slice of onion thanks to those monsters.  Read more

If you ever were to appear on Hot Ones, you just need to prep a week in advance. Eat food that lends itself well to hot sauce (Mexican, Thai, Szechuan, etc...) and add Blair’s Mega Death Hot Sauce (550,000 Scoville) to each meal. Read more

If you need help staying in your home, please apply for rental assistance if you haven’t already: Read more

“It’s rent. What could it cost? $10.00?”

The other day I was thinking about how differently things could have been under real leadership. The country could have just shut down for a solid 2 months, everyone banded together WW2 style, and then the world comes out of lockdown together and get on with our lives. But no, let’s debate basic science and drunken Read more

Yes but those margies on the beach aren’t going to drink themselves and garsh darn it they’ve been working so hard!  Read more

Lorde said, spotting the presence of the notoriously hot chili pepper” Read more

This is happening under a Democratic administration with a Democratic Congress. Just another reminder that even if they’re politicians from the “right” political party, you often have to apply a lot of pressure to powerful people to get them to do the right and decent thing to help people.

Slidey onion means whoever battered it didn’t do a thorough initial dredge before the batter.  Read more

If you’re impressed by Lorde, watch Issa Rae’s episode. Not only did she not break a sweat, I don’t think she drank anything the entire time.  Read more

This is making me realize that almost every onion ring I’ve ever eaten has been sub-par. I just assumed the onion inevitably slides out most of the time.  Read more

All the stuff about Cherry the dwarf suggests to me that Pratchett would be pretty chill about it. It wasn’t exactly the same as the current politics about trans people, but it had a similar “social mores change and people have to relax and deal with it” vibe. Read more

She’s not wrong about onion rings, I hate when the entire onion comes out once you take a bite.  Read more
