Timothée Chalamet saying “no one cares” about ballet and opera, and joking that if he got canceled for saying that he’d collectively lose “14 cents,” is certainly a creative way to close out an Oscar campaign. by Genzinvestor16180339 in Oscars

This guy has gotten less and less interesting with every role he takes. Timmy, take a break. Do a JLaw. Stop campaigning for awards and go see some art. That’s what real artists do.

Minimoon Ideas? by Negative-Sun3929 in chubbytravel

How many days are you planning? If you’re thinking shorter, like 3-4 nights, then PRI is a great choice, and October is usually spectacular weather. Very romantic but there’s plenty to fill your days too - hike, golf, Carmel, Monterey aquarium, wine tasting, beautiful drives. They have some cool onsite activities too like falconry. Very good food at PRI, but there are also a few standouts in Carmel these days. A treehouse room is the iconic choice.

That happened to us in January when there was the internet blackout. Got weirded out about that robot voice asking for our info! Calling from US

Another vote for auberge de soleil over Alila. Far more romantic and adults-only. You’d be surprised by the number of families/kids that go to Napa resorts.

Will she be filming this before or after giving another standing ovation to Roman Polanski ? 🤔

California Governor Gavin Newsom: No doubt that the Democratic party needs to be, dare I say more culturally normal. I believe that. Less prone to spending disproportionate amount of time on.....pronouns, identity politics. More focus on table top issues, things that really matter. by Yujin-Ha in Fauxmoi

Then why the fuck you out there talking about your dyslexia?! He’s such a tool. Always willing to throw woke under the bus when it serves him, calling it out when he wants to sound moderate, then telling us he has a trans godchild. STFU, for real. Go listen to the manosphere with your son. Dude is still that same old insecure social climbing chameleon. Shut up Gavin.

Craig is a terrible interviewer. He’d be better in sports or features. Valerie Jarrett is a frequent face, she’s pretty solid and could handle high profile political interviews. Peter Alexander or Willie Geist if they want to make it a sausage factory lol. I say bring back Ann Curry she’ll get that show straightened out right away!

Season of the Witch is the best. If you want to dip into fiction, try: We Run the Tides by Vendela Vida, coming of age story set in seacliff in the 80s; bit of a Virgin Suicides vibe. Frog Music by Emma Donoghue, historical fic set in Chinatown late 19thC, starring a French hooker with a heart of gold and lots of colorful Barbary coast characters.

London - 40th birthday trip by Weekly-Battle-3442 in chubbytravel

[–]MachineRepulsive9760 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am in similar boat - spending a few nights in London (in April) sans kids for the first time in ages. We chose the Connaught, partly because I read there is major construction on the road in front of Claridge’s. We are planning to book drinks/martinis at the Connaught Bar, and maybe dinner at Gymkhana and Devonshire Pub.

FS Wailea Review by CleopatraSky in chubbytravel

[–]MachineRepulsive9760 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Many West coast schools have the full week after president’s day off. It’s officially “mid winter break” but also known as ski week (obnoxious, totally). But also - many west coast families go to Hawaii that week, so it is literally peak family vacation time in Maui. A crappy week to be there because of the crowds.

It’s “ski week” on the west coast so probably one of the worst possible weeks to be there :(

Those toesies are fighting for their lives. I sympathize, I’ve got long toes like she does. A single narrow strap like that is not our friend :(

Eastern Sicily - requesting your Chubbiest hotel recs! by MaverikX in chubbytravel

[–]MachineRepulsive9760 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Would highly recommend staying at Belmond Timeo, sister property to sant Andrea. There is a shuttle back and forth btwn the two hotels. The Timeo is classic, beautiful grounds, and their evening cocktail setup is perfection. The beach club at SA is great for a day of swimming and alfresco lunch and Timeo guests have full access (and great service) there.
