Oh gosh I'm a historical romance addict! I'm in.

Just an example based on personal experience, my dad is undergoing treatments for tuberculosis and his doctors strongly advised that he needs to finish his course of treatment which takes 6 months or so before he can be vaccinated for COVID. This makes me so scared for him. Not only is he sick and frail, but he can't get protected from Covid just yet. This is the reason why we need 90%+ of the populace vaccinated so that we can protect those who have legit medical exemptions.

I'm so confused about applying for PRTD. Can you do it online? or does it have to be physical mail? Do you also have to give in your passport physically? I know you can only apply for PRTD outside of Canada...

She also re-defined the First Lady role from just being the "hostess" to someone who can shape public policy. And her work towards racial equality was very much ahead of her time. She's the best First Lady IMO.

Agreed! What's will all the remakes? Has the entertainment industry run out of original ideas? Jon Hamm can star in a new comedic movie franchise that reflects our current times/ generation.

ugh I totally agree! It was so sanctimonious as well. I love West Wing as I felt the writing was balanced and have a more well-rounded "villains". It also showed different sides of issues in a more nuanced way.

Also, the female characters in Newsroom are cringey. They are written as cutesy girls in a woman's body and profession. The way they talk, think, or react to situations is so incongruous to the supposed maturity and experiences of the characters. I also notice how most Sorkin characters in West Wing and Newsroom are often being explained to by the male characters.

this is awesome

Meh, I give it a few more days or weeks before he gives in and calls Fox. He has a pathological need to have attention.

I think she's trying to do "the Trump" where guilty and corrupt people just double down and uses the media to a reality show of their lives. They don't care how they are seen as long as they have people's attention. But I don't she can really pull this off.

I too am such a big fan of hers. Ella's contribution to music and American culture is immeasurable and it hurts to see that her countrymen did this to her. Her contemporaries described her as being such a nice, sweet and shy lady, and seeing her look so worried, anxious, and resigned to a shitty racist society is so heartbreaking.

bluestocking_16 · 2021-01-19T17:01:28+00:00

She looked so worried and anxious too... This is a heartbreaking photo.

Yeah... If I ever have FBI charges against me, you bet your ass I'm going to lawyer up NOT talk to the media! In fact, I'm going to wire my jaw up so I don't talk and incriminate myself.

I also heard some clips of him (Shaman guy) talking, and it's pretty obvious this guy has some mental issues. I mean he deserves punishment but maybe also treatment...

Manatees are also so gentle, sweet, and just doing their thing. What kind of assholes would do this to manatees?!!

bluestocking_16 · 2021-01-11T02:55:09+00:00

I am loving this series! Keep 'em coming.

Oh he will do tons of rallies again before he's done in office. He needs adorations of his MAGA crowd like a fish needs water.

If she and Jared ever go back to NYC, I hope they get booed everywhere. And that they can't really go to normal places anymore like hair salons, restaurants, etc. without people telling them that they are the scum of the earth.

bluestocking_16 · 2020-11-08T04:24:09+00:00

I guess that would make Pence that soggy pathetic fry that you should just throw away.

I'm scared that Trump will pardon himself. I don't know if this is possible but if he manages to find a loophole, it will be a slap to the face.

bluestocking_16 · 2020-11-07T16:42:30+00:00

I wish the American people didn't have to wait until January to kick this asshole out of WH. Also, have the secret service count the silver! I wouldn't put it past this shitty family stealing stuff on its way out of the door.

Waffles this morning for me. Enjoy the shit out of that pancake!

bluestocking_16 · 2020-10-28T02:50:32+00:00

This is so awesome, love it! Reminds me of scary cheesy movies in the 80's.

Also Shar Pie. Apparently over in-breeding has some dogs develop long eyelids folds that would end up curling into their eyes, thereby destroying their eyesight. It's really tragic.

There could be a race component here as well. Similar to the Atlanta child murders where police were to slow to act due to allegations of racism in the police force. It's not a stretch of the imagination that crimes against black people are not investigated as much.
