Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

The IRS will now be extending equal treatment to legally married same-sex couples regardless of marriage recognition in their state of residence: [link]

Seems to me that kneecaps about half the big mechanisms that stand in the way of full legal equality (federal income tax filing status, estate taxes, IRA contributions, child tax credits).

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

I know a bunch of people that will affect positively, I'm so very happy!

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

That's great news from the IRS!

I STILL have Blurred Lines stuck in my head. And I still don't understand why this song is getting so much publicity for being offensive. Even though it is offensive.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Desks: I like this one [link] but am laughing that the person selling one on craigslist is asking $300.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Sophia, have you seen the video?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Very sensible, IRS. Good job.

As I keep learning over and over again, accidentally broiling my shirred eggs does not in any way improve breakfast.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Mostly because of the video. (The YouTube version, not the "clean" one they show on TV.)

Maybe I should watch? Or not....

Not if you're on a work computer. Basically, he sings the song while leering into the camera, while mostly-naked women (they're wearing skin-tone panties, but that's it) dance around him with random props.

Yeah, I feel like enjoying that song (though not really the video) means I have like, bought in to rape culture, or something. Oh well.

I did enjoy the gender-switched video from some boilesque folks in Seattle, though.

Jesse, that is more than a bit ridiculous indeed! I just shake my head at those people, or who think they can get $2k for their couch or whatever. Lady, it might've cost you $4K ten years ago, but nobody wants it for $2K.
