Tangential to the below, Sessions is probably going to be the topic of my weekly letter to Sen. Toomey. -- (edited) - znufrii Nov 18, 12:00 1

Blind item today from Lainey - Andie Nov 18, 11:53 14
- So are they talking pearl necklaces or like something...super dirty? -- nm - Diva Nov 18, 12:24
- Leto. -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 12:08
- could it be Johnny Depp? -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 12:02 4
  - yeah, could be -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 12:03 3
    - (and, would explain the 'haven't felt the need to boast about it' line) -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 12:03 2
      - I don't get the past connection though... -- nm - Name Withheld by Request Nov 18, 12:08 1
        
        I would think it's a Winona reference, if it were Depp. -- nm* - Andie Nov 18, 12:18
- pics? You know that's James Franco. -- nm - Max Nov 18, 12:01 2
  - not famous enough nor was his breakup? Id din't know he was a) with anyone or b) recently broke up -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 12:03
  - but the whole 'he's single *now*" part seems to indicate a recent-ish breakup. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 12:02
- Affleck? (all the night stuff made me think Batman). Pitt was second come to mind -- nm* - Beaker Nov 18, 11:55 3
  - or Pitt? (but i think i like your's better) -- nm* - Andie Nov 18, 11:55 2
    - oddly enough that line "does it make you think of who he's been with in the past" made me think of Gwyneth for Brad, but of course that works for Ben -- (edited) - Andie Nov 18, 11:57 1
      - that made me think of Pitt with Jolie -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 11:58
I might binge watch Scrotal Recall tonight. -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 11:49 4
- I still can't believe a show got greenlit with that name -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 11:50
- I might binge and drink lots of whiskey tonight -- nm - decline Nov 18, 11:50
- Season 2 is called "Lovesick" on my Netflix apparently. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 11:49 1
  - Yeah, they wisely renamed it. -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 11:51
OK, how's the trick done ST? -- (link) - ML Nov 18, 11:48 [youtube] 9
- His wrists are held strangely when he first covers the ring, so I'd say he's palming a second one and hooking it on the wire when he shoves it down. - Max Nov 18, 11:59 1
  - I don't know how he hooks in on the wire though. There is no opening in the wire (in theory since it is a wire hanger taken out of their closet). - pmb Nov 18, 12:06
- that's crazy and no away I'm putting that ring back on my finger -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 11:55
- I don't even think that was the best trick he did on the show. - pmb Nov 18, 11:51 3
  - The mind reading on Margot Robbie was also mysterious. -- nm - Max Nov 18, 11:52 2
    - Yeah, that stuff blows my mind. -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 11:54
    - "You want to get naked and bang?! well if that is what your mind wants" *starts to take off clothes* -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 11:53
- same way he did the frogs -- nm - Beaker Nov 18, 11:50
- he has a tiny leprechaun in his tummy -- nm - decline Nov 18, 11:49
The thread reminds me. I've never seen interest in something crater as fast as what happened with Serial. - Tim Nov 18, 11:45 6
- Yeah, I think part of the problem was they picked a subject that (most?) people had already read and made up their mind about. - IrishStephen Nov 18, 12:00 1
  - I was only vaguely familiar but it just wasn't compelling enough to keep going. -- nm - Tim Nov 18, 12:02
- they picked a terrible subject for the second season, is one -- nm - ML Nov 18, 11:48 1
  - I get they didn't want to be pigeonholed into murder mysteries, but in hindsight it was a mistake. -- nm - Tim Nov 18, 11:49
- i listened to the whole of Season 2. but, i immediately forgot all about it. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 11:46
- spoiler - Doctor Spawn Nov 18, 11:46
Jeebuz. John Stewart looks like he's Benjamin Button. -- (link) - oblique Nov 18, 11:40 7

  - I just used it because of the picture. It was in my FB feed -- nm - oblique Nov 18, 11:42 2
    - I don't know what's going on. Conservative news sites have never used unflattering pictures of people they disagree with before! -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 12:04 1
      - I don't think the camera angle is making him look 100 years old -- nm* - oblique Nov 18, 12:05
- That is the interview I was talking about. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 18, 11:41
- Retirement ages comedians as fast as the White House ages presidents. -- nm - Max Nov 18, 11:41 1
  - BB ages backwards. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 18, 11:42
Celebrity Andie Poll: Which celebrities would you want to have a podcast that you would expect to listen to on a regular basis? - Max Nov 18, 11:38 2
- I'd listen to Harry Shum Jr. read the phonebook. -- nm - ReluctantCynic Nov 18, 11:55
- I like the Sam Rockwell idea. Chris Rock. Does Patton Oswalt have one? i should check. -- nm - Andie Nov 18, 11:43
Any chance Sessions doesn't get confirmed? He seems like someone worth a fillibuster. It's hard to walk back previous racist comments and the fact - pmb Nov 18, 11:35 19
- Would like to think there are some sane, competent, middle of the road GOP senators left but I'm sure he'll get confirmed. -- nm - ty97 Nov 18, 11:40 10
  - Lololololol... - znufrii Nov 18, 11:41 9
    - [deleted] 8
      - You don't think the dems will fillibuster any nominee? -- nm - pmb Nov 18, 11:48 7
        
        [deleted] 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        You don't think the GOP will use the nuclear option in response and eliminate the filibuster? -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 11:50 4
        
        I think they would under many circumstances, but I'm not sure they would do it for Jeff Sessions. When we get to the Supreme Court nominee that might - pmb Nov 18, 11:53 1
        
        [deleted]
        
        do they have a large enough majority to pull that off? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 18, 11:51 1
        
        I could be wrong, but I thought they only needed a simple majority. -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 11:54
- The decades old racial comments seem to be a red herring without a pattern. His recent service will ... trump that. -- nm - Max Nov 18, 11:39 1
  - YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAH -- (link) - landbeck Nov 18, 11:46 [youtube]
- The Republican Party is very different than it was 30 years ago, and what JackDawson said. -- nm - znufrii Nov 18, 11:38

Traveling in Europe has made me question some universal truths about light switches. - Mop Nov 18, 11:16 3
- "Up" points to the light. If you are in a room and want to turn the light off or on you should not have to leave the room to do so. -- nm - Doctor Spawn Nov 18, 11:46
- because if the light switch is outside the room, some jagoff like me will walk by and keep flipping it on. -- nm - groiny Nov 18, 11:17 1
  - Hey, yeah, that's right! Get your shit together, Europe! We have to protect against jagoffs! -- nm - Mop Nov 18, 11:19
