This is a great profile of Victoria Jackson by Gus Garcia-Roberts in the Voice. If you ever wondered how exactly she went from SNL and UHF to a recurring role on Fox News, this deep dive into her family history will leave you with little doubt.
This is great. I related to someone just recently that based on her appearance on Celebrity Fit Club (which involved a visit to her vile, vile...

White House Caves on Defense Bill Veto Threat →
wilwheaton:
The President will not veto the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) over provisions codifying the use of indefinite military detention on American soil.
The NDAA is profoundly unconstitutional, and destroys the fundamental principle of Due Process that was part of the founding of this country.

Guardian column in which I hopefully demonstrate that the answer isn’t quite as stonkingly obvious as it appears, and also talk about bubblegum and its return in the form of Cher Lloyd’s (very good) record.
Very interesting column, but the comments are depressing me. Instead of engaging with this idea in any meaningful way, it’s all just descended into a cliched list of why...

Because the Grand Canyon is the only thing that exists in Arizona? No, seriously, I don’t understand this one at all.
I missed this reply the first time around. Let me clarify: I found this funny because I’ve lived most of my life in Arizona. Whenever this comes up with people who don’t live in or haven’t visited Arizona, they often ask me...
