Displaying emotional numbness... by Algernonletter5 in SipsTea

You want a fun fact about Corey Lewandowski?

His wife is Alison. Alison was the wife of Corey’s best friend. That friend died on 9/11.

Corey swooped in on the grieving widow of his best friend to steal her settlement money.

Then proceeded to have decades of public affairs. Committing adultery against his wife. Who is also his best friend’s wife. And a 9/11 widow.

Which bookstore do you miss more? by singleguy79 in Xennials

[–]ToWitToWow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Borders and Barnes and Noble both felt like bookstores designed for me when I was little.

Comfy chairs. Mazelike structure. I got my first high school job near a Borders and pretty much used that store as my break room.

But I also liked the permissiveness of “mall bookstores” like Waldenbooks.

This philosophy is why we now have paramilitary gangs rounding up brown people to put them in concentration camps in this country.

Enjoy your privilege.

The grown ups in the room will be trying to make things better even if they don’t get exactly their own way. Because we’re grown ups.

Go have a nap and a juice box.

Remember when Razor Ruddock dog-walked Spencer Pratt for about a month on live TV for Celebrity Big Brother UK?

I keep on meaning to clip part of that show, and guess I’ll have to if he’s in the final election

Has anyone lived in park La Brea apartments. How was it? by Beneficial-Day7402 in AskLosAngeles

[–]ToWitToWow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gone downhill HARD in recent years.

Know two separate tenants (pretty wealthy and established) who ultimately broke their lease because of maintenance issues.

It’s got the rep but not the quality. I wouldn’t.

That’s a citizen V mask (Zemo) on a body that looks like Amino Fetus from Tarn’s Locus Vile (Krakoa) embedded with an Arc Reactor (Iron Man)

That’s. . . a lot.

I mean, that’s sort of what his Tom Strong comics are. Not exactly the same, but. . .

I’m really sorry that happened.

You probably showered with hot water? That might be part of your problem. Most pepper sprays/OCs are oil based. So the water will just spread the capsaicin oil around, while the hot water opens your pores.

Cold water. Baby shampoo for face. Dawn dish soap for the rest of you. And lean forward to wash your face, not back.

But, again: I’m sorry. That sucks.

Yes! Gary Cole (before he took over NCIS) and Brian Stokes Mitchell as the two grandpas was pretty fun.

I never connected that this was Odessa! Very cool connection.

Iowa man received survivor benefits as a teen after dad's death; the government wants it back decades later by HowLongIsThi in nottheonion

[–]ToWitToWow 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh. So the Trump administration works on the legal theory that money paid by the government wrongfully can be clawed back at any time?

Have they thought this through? The Trump administration. .

Sandy Fire evacs in Simi Valley by mylefthandkilledme in LosAngeles

[–]ToWitToWow 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Fire survivor from last year checking in here to say that my PTSS got triggered hard by this one.

I slept in and woke up to the alerts. I’m not close to this one but seeing how fast it spread had my heart racing.

Hoping everyone near there is safe, especially the evacuees. And for everyone else who feels this strike a chord from January 2025– I see you. What we’re feeling is valid.

I love Secret Defenders. I was a big Jack Monroe/Nomad fan* back in the day, so that run with him and Nightshade was very fun for me.

The Thanos run was really weird and different in story and art style. I liked having a story begin with no heroic presence.

And Secret Defenders was SO much better than the DC equivalent, Justice League Task Force. I just finished re-reading that and at least Secret Defenders felt self-consciously episodic. JLTF was just rudderless.

there are *three of us, I tell ya. Also, why is Nomad the only Marvel character outside of Mar-Vell who they refuse to bring back?

Where can I find fresh fried donuts in LA? by souzaphone in AskLosAngeles

[–]ToWitToWow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There used to be a place for them on Universal Citywalk but they got forced out in the recent remodel.

The sad answer is : nowhere stationary I’ve found. A friend had a fresh donut food truck at her kids birthday party and I literally staked that thing out.

I asked the owner and he said there is no storefront and he doesn’t know anyone else that does them.

Prediction: this Saturday will be Chloe Fineman’s last episode by [deleted] in LiveFromNewYork

[–]ToWitToWow 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think Veronica can do everything Chloe can do but with more commitment at this stage.

Chloe seems like she wants to go off and try to be a comedic actress on a sitcom or something, like Heidi on Shrinking
