I can’t reskeet everything, but those are flawless looks on Jodie Turner-Smith and Zendaya. Teyana Taylor maybe needs to take Coco Chanel’s advice about taking off one thing before leaving the house, but I can’t actually argue with it.

Always. Every year. Because she loves the art of fashion. She studies it. She doesn’t just want to look hot.

Imagine the biggest problem in your life being about which bathroom a total stranger uses.
Imagine pretending random people you'll never meet are somehow victimizing you with their existence.
Imagine being that hard up for troubles that you have to invent them just so you can play the victim.

As a professor of English, allow me to try, humbly and with the proper respect, to offer an appropriate response to the President’s address:
Fuck you, you fucked-up fuck, and fuck all the fuckers who willingly fuck with you, especially. You can all fuck all the way off, and then fuck off some more.

You know, there are a few celebrity dudes that I really, really need not to be secret monsters, and Andrew Garfield is on that list just below Tom Hanks and Stephen Colbert.

As usual, the menswear dude has receipts. Always a lovely thing to behold.
Zelenskyy's character can be judge more directly by how he treats others and whether you think he's protected his country. From what I've seen, he has treated Americans with respect. His attire is to remind people he's at war, not unlike Churchill wearing a siren suit to the White House in 1942.

Okay, that stings.
Aaron Sorkin taught a generation of liberals that politics is just Speech and Debate where a well stated argument with citations means you win. The upshot being that so many lib/left people disdain having to actually *sell* their ideology. You either agree (smart) or don't (dumb and/or bigoted).

ppl arguing about whether the admin is stupid or craven or evil or what-have-you -- it does not matter why they're doing what they're doing. if a guy is going to stab me I don't care what his motivation is. I address the urgent question of getting stabbed less. we can dwell on particulars later

No, Mr. Bond. I expect you (and the franchise as we know it) to die.
With new producers, a new studio, and a new 007 on the way, change is expected for the next James Bond.

Fuck yeah, Kentucky. Proud of my red home state continuing (miraculously!) to vote for their best interests, even if he’s a democrat.
