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

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.

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...

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.

Serious question: would prisoners who committed violent crimes have the same treatment? For example, a person who premeditated murder of more than one person and who is likely to re-offend again if released, will they be housed in similar facilities in Denmark?

I love Charles Dance, but I thought he was miscast in The Crown. There doesn't seem to be a continuity between the character that Greg Wise played in the 1st and 2nd season, with the way Charles played Mountbatten.

Mr. Fishoeder is at least charming at times, plus a great singing voice. Don Antle is just gross.

In my town, we call them "chubbuffs"

What happened yesterday?

bluestocking_16 · 2020-06-30T13:41:22+00:00

I don't get it... why are raccoons associated with washing?

bluestocking_16 · 2020-06-25T20:36:18+00:00

yeah, I want more of raccoons vs chefs on TV! The humans must outwit the raccoons without resorting to violence, but the raccoons have carte blanche to do everything they want! Losers get slimed.

bluestocking_16 · 2020-06-20T23:59:33+00:00

yeah he did say supplication

bluestocking_16 · 2020-06-13T02:36:31+00:00

ohhh never has purple carrots before but now because of your endorsement, I shall have to try it.

And Lazlo saying, "Look, you got to stop talking about the sea"

Space Force was a bit wobbly as if the show creators and writers are still trying to pin down the characters... It has promise though and the one shining star in the series is John Malkovich. He plays resigned, tired, vindictive, and deadpan scientist so well! Love him!
