Yep. Someone backed bigger & bigger trucks of money up to their door until they say yes. Sharing our ethical values is wonderful but more people have a price than we're comfortable admitting.

All the love to you Seán. I've always had huge respect for you and what you do, and sharing this part of you makes me respect you all the more. Thank you for sharing, for speaking out, for everything.

I guess this counts as foreplay?

I loved Expedition X on Discovery Channel but it really went downhill fast once Jessica Chobot left. It used to be more an X Files style mystery/cryptid thing where she had the best chemistry with Phil Torres. Now it’s a bland ghost hunting show in a sea of other, better, ghost hunting shows.

Stolen from Facebook because I can only bow before such a master of owning one’s rightful hullplate.

Tron: Ares is tanking at the box office so it’s only a matter of time until Disney says it means nobody wants any more Tron movies instead of realising that nobody wants any more Jared Leto movies

I've had a month where I haven't been able to do any weights on my legs (long story) and I cannot wait to start them again. God help me, I miss leg day.

Glad to see this prize given to those who deserve it and not those who fetishise it

Just heard Slide Over is coming back to iPad and I’m unreasonably happy about that

If you decide to not vote, that's totally fine and you shouldn't beat yourself up about it (or listen to others who would try) Your vote is yours to do with as you please and if the political process has failed you to the degree that you don't want to vote, that isn't your fault or responsibility.

I know how you feel. To say I'm unenthusiastic about it is an understatement but I've decided I'm voting Connolly despite my MANY qualms with her. People seem to love her but in my eyes she just kinda sucks the least? I don't enjoy being in this position but I decided I'd rather that than not vote.
