– Bill Simmons on Ryan Reynolds, Will Smith, and the perception of success in Hollywood - Grantland
This is not the point of the article at all, (which is good! Read it), but this sort of blew my mind? My mind is easily blown, clearly, but like. True facts.

omg were you in the office when JDorf was talking about trying to recruit Shia for the University? Apparently, he is not too bright and his emails were atrociously arrogant and riddled with grammatical/spelling errors :(
Wow, I had no idea. This would be an awful school for him. And yet…….still attracted to his grammatically incorrect...

Weird Confessions
I have been super attracted to Shia LaBeauf since his Even Stevens days (yes really), even when he was playing that autistic kid, even after reading this profile of him where he comes off as kind of a dick, and in need of therapy or like a publicist/filter. Even knowing he fucked Megan Fox (I mean I would if I could). So yeah. He’s like in my Top 5, and I’m appropriately ashamed, but...

For ISHUM it is. You apply with your subject, and that’s what the entire colloquim was focused around. MAYBE GRAD SCHOOL jk lol but maybe stranger things, etc.

This is incredibly triggering, like AHOY THAR BE TRIGGERS. But. Wow. This is one those things where I don’t want to say I liked it, because it’s awful and terrible but sort of hopeful, and you never want anything like that to happen to you or anyone you love, or anyone you don’t love. But read it anyway.

snowmanoclock replied to your post: Question/Poll For Science! (Not Actually Scientific)
I actually read once that gin is for cougars and weak men, both of which I am. Depends on who you ask, I guess. A lot of men stand by the g&t as a classic. But then, so do a lot of women.
I wonder if the cocktail can be genderless, even if the booze isn’t? Like I think of rum as sortof a lady...

clementinafio replied to your post: Question/Poll For Science! (Not Actually Scientific)
I am a lady who loves gin, and I’ve been told by men and women it “puts hair on your chest” aka is manly (and too manly for them? I’m not sure). I always thought gin was just a Southern drink.
Huh, I always think of burbon as the southern booze of choice, and then whiskey, specifically Jack. But I am glad...

ex-tempore replied to your post: Question/Poll For Science! (Not Actually Scientific)
Wouldn’t have thought! Let’s have a party?
I mean, also this “poll” was clearly a call for everyone to get together and have like a gin tasting (read: just drink a lot of gin), and “contemplate” it (read: continue drinking gin).
So, yes, duh.
Question/Poll For Science! (Not Actually...
So, I’ve heard through the grapevine (read: The Internet) that, apparently, gin is considered a “Man Drink.”
I…what? When? For real? Everyone likes gin! Or rather, I know a bunch of ladies, and also dudes but mostly ladies, who LURV gin. Is this weird? Are we, gin-swilling females, actually that bizarre? I know whiskey is for “dudes,” which whatever whiskey is...

words about the El har har har. Pride, super here too
Right? I mean my friend Nina made me think of my first El ride, (O-WEEK HOLLA!) and I remember being like “Why are we outside.” “This platform is so tiny.” “Oh god, is that the train? Is it 1955 that train is older than GOD, where are we even going, what do you...

Pride was Super.
Though I realized I had to be more discerning with my stickers. I decided to reward sartorial choices, old people, tasteful nudity and disgruntled straight boyfriends.
Also, the Gays run on CPT which should maybe be renamed “minority groups time— we are so oppressed of course we are late.” This is much longer to say, but more accurate.
I remain unimpressed with the CTA, but...

They watch The Graduate on Netflix Instant Play. Oh man, Simon and Garfunkel (I have already used this space to proclaim my love for Paul Simon, yes I have his new album, what short of woman do you take me for?), and also that last scene. Oof. Anne Bancroft is a FOX.
