ThePrettiestOneWhy did they have to ruin The Mummy with Tom Cruise?
Universal’s hoping that its reboot of the Mummy franchise will be just the kind of hit that’ll sell the world on its shared universe of gods and monsters. The latest trailer for the movie shows just how different this take on the Mummy story will be.
ThePrettiestOneDynasty, but like Game of Thrones.
No, not the sexy part.
Normally, I enjoy vegging out in front of a show filled with sex, betrayal and hair pulling, but about 30 seconds into this first look at the CW’s Dynasty reboot I was thinking, “Who cares about these freaking Ivankas?”
Honestly shoutout to The Social Network for giving us the line “you’re going to go through life thinking that girls don’t like you because you’re a nerd. And I want you to know, from the bottom of my heart, that that won’t be true. It’ll be because you’re an asshole” because if that doesn’t epitomize women’s feelings for entitled male nerds I don’t know what does

Our CHO sent an email suggesting we wear “ a sombrero or other Mexican hat” today. Sent an email to HR and had a meeting with them that resulted in nothing. They said it’ll be a learning experience but they won’t retract the email and for today I’ll have to be the “bigger person and take it with a grain of salt” but it won’t happen next year.
I wore this sign to work today, nearly all of the employees I spoke to found the email offensive and appreciated my sign. The CHO himself served me at our employee event and didn’t say anything about it.
Bigger person? Not today white devil

ThePrettiestOneBut, I thought he WANTED to be president?
As the Trump-Pence White House crashes and burns around him, Donald Trump is facing his first foreign trip and boy howdy, does he not want to go.
In recent days, Mr. Trump has groused to several friends that he is not looking forward to leaving his new White House cocoon for high-profile, high-pressure meetings with dozens of world leaders in unfamiliar settings.
A nine-day trip out of the country is four days longer than Trump usually goes between visiting one of his own properties. A nine-day trip means nine days of being in countries that find him appalling and aren't going to be praising him in their morning television programs. His routine will be disrupted. There's no red button to tell his hosts to bring him another Coke. Being the president is hard.
At one point, he barked at an aide that he thought his first tour abroad should be only about half as long. He will have to abandon his well-known preference for sleeping in his own bed (or in one at the hotels or golf resorts he owns) as he hops between Saudi Arabia, Israel, Belgium, Italy and the Vatican — all places without a Trump-branded property.
The odds that he's going to make an unannounced trip to his Scottish golf course before heading home? About 150 percent.
The New York Times' sources aren't shy in admitting that they've been having a hard time keeping Trump focused on, well, anything, and that preparations for the trip haven't been going well to begin with. ("In an attempt to capture his interest, aides threaded Mr. Trump’s own name through the paragraphs of one of the two-page memos they wrote for him.")
But for his fans, it was all just further proof of the media’s obsession with Trump and its unyielding attempts to overturn the result of the 2016 election. The upside of convincing your supporters that the media will say anything to take you down is total inoculation against just about any allegation imaginable. And the president’s apparent anti-fragility means that each successive episode digs his boosters in further, validating the “fake news” narrative and eroding whatever remaining standing legacy institutions may still have.
You might argue that since Trump’s core supporters make up a mere third of the country that they are receiving undue attention. But this electoral rump is distributed overwhelmingly among the states and districts that send Republicans to Congress.

Inevitably, in the torrent of obituaries to come, someone will recite a list of Roger Ailes’s personal failings, repugnant views, and malignant actions, but then be sure to credit him with having been a brilliant provocateur or a visionary broadcaster or some shit. “For better or worse,” they will preface it.…
ThePrettiestOneGet BACK here, you coward.
Roger Ailes, the founder and former chief executive of Fox News, is dead, his wife told the Drudge Report. His goblin spirit will live on, however, in Fox News’ disgustingly predatory workplace culture, and the racism, xenophobia, hatred, fear and allergy to facts the network has inspired in millions upon millions of…

Think about this when someone tries to put you down.
And then there was a special prosecutor. Late Wednesday afternoon, the Justice Department announced that Robert Mueller, who preceded James Comey as FBI director, would be appointed special counsel to investigate ties between Donald Trump's presidential campaign and Russia.
"If the Special Counsel believes it is necessary and appropriate, the Special Counsel is authorized to prosecute federal crimes arising from the investigation of these matters," the letter appointing Mueller says.
The decision was made by Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. The responsibility fell to him because Attorney General Jeff Sessions had to recuse himself from matters involving the Russia scandal after it was revealed that Sessions failed to disclose his meetings with the Russian ambassador during his Senate confirmation hearings.
Mueller was appointed to the FBI by former President George W. Bush; he led the bureau from 2001 to 2013.
"He's totally incorruptible," Dave Gomez, a former FBI agent who served nearly 30 years in the agency, says of Mueller. "And the agents and the executives at the FBI know and trust him to finish the job."
Mueller assumes control of an investigation already well underway. NBC News reported Wednesday evening that there are now multiple grand jury subpoenas relating to Michael Flynn, Trump's former National Security Advisor, and Paul Manafort, Trump's ex-campaign manager.
"Special Counsel Mueller will have all appropriate resources to conduct a thorough and complete investigation," Rosenstein said in a statement, "and I am confident that he will follow the facts, apply the law and reach a just result."
Rosenstein reportedly didn't clear the decision with the White House in advance, only giving Trump's staff a 30-minute warning that the announcement was forthcoming.

The White House issued a brief statement from Trump following Wednesday's announcement. (The president's Twitter account, so far, has been unusually silent.)

This is a developing story that has been updated.
ThePrettiestOneThe story of the bread and fishes was never meant to demonstrate Jesus' supernatural powers. It's the story of a bunch of adults being shamed by a little girl selflessly giving up what she had to share, and forcing them to share what they had, and therefore feeding everyone.
this is why I love this joke:
Jesus was fond of telling his followers not to worry about how they’d afford food tomorrow because God would provide. But Jesus told them this while handing out free bread and encouraging them to help people who were in need, making them the outlet through which God would provide for others
My mother was a waitress, we live in an area that has a lot of Christians and people would often stiff her on tips. Instead they’d leave a pamphlet with quotes from Jesus saying not to worry because God would provide
Jesus’ message was never that God would magically put food on people’s tables. God would provide opportunities to help each other, like the boat captains offering to help the dying man. That only works if people actually help each other
When I first heard this joke as a teenager I laughed at the guy who didn’t take the help that was offered to him. As an adult, I think of all the Christian politicians who vote against food stamps and I want to tell them “You were the boat captain but you steered away from the man in need instead of offering him help. Is that really what God wanted you to do?”
I was eating dinner with my mom and when she went to pay I noticed a “Hooters” frequent diner card or whatever in her wallet. I asked her WTF, and she explained that a friend of hers got a coupon for the grand opening and so a group of them went for lunch just to try it out. This is a group that consists of women from their 50s into their 80s. Apparently the food decent but the service was amazing, and the servers were “all such wonderful girls, so sweet! Said it was nice to take a break from all the gross men they had to deal with.” So they decided to come back. Now they go once a week at least, and the Hooters waitresses fight each other for who gets to serve them. Anyhow I thought it was cute.
I am all for the idea of a bunch of aunties and grandmas invading a space typically dominated by men acting like gross creepers and just taking the fuck over and being nice to the ladies on staff.
Because who the fuck is gonna argue with an army of polite older ladies?
Nobody, that’s who.

growing up in maine us writers were of course always comparing ourselves to stephen king. TURNS OUT HE’S FUCKING WRITER GEORG
“average writer writes 3 books a year" factoid actualy just statistical error. average person writes 1 book per year. Steven King, who lives in cave & writes over 10,000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
Nothing to see here, just a street corner in New Orleans…..
This is The Violin Monster and he’s really cool. You should all look him up on Facebook. He’s the most talented violinist I have ever met, and he’s super sweet and friendly. He also teaches violin to kids. His back story is he’s a 400+ year old werewolf from Galway, Ireland who plays violin to quell his hunger for human flesh. I forget the details of how he became a werewolf, but I think it had something to do with a deal he made with a witch.
Story time: so one day I actually had spending money, so for funsies I kept putting money in his jack-o-lantern (that’s what his tip bucket is) requesting Scotch-Irish folk songs, and he didn’t just play every song he PLAYED them like he was in a music battle with the Faery King. I was quite impressed. Later, I ran into him, mask-off, at Café Envie and I told him “That was really cool, but you still didn’t play my favorite song ‘The King of the Faeries,’ do you not know it?” and Violin Monster looked around and over his shoulder, and then leaned over me and said in a hushed tone: “Oh I know it, but it’s bad luck to play that song. They say if you play it three times the Faery King himself will appear. So I don’t play that song anymore.” And then he smiled and walked away.
I don’t think Zach is just one of those performers who never breaks character, I think he’s actually summoned faeries by accident with his amazing music.

ThePrettiestOneRemember the reason for impeachment season
In the first months of Donald Trump’s mass deportation force, ICE arrests of undocumented immigrants with no criminal record have nearly tripled from this same time last year, despite his repeated claims that he would only be targeting dangerous criminals and “bad hombres.” More from USA Today:
In the 100 days since President Trump signed an executive order to enhance immigration enforcement, the arrests of undocumented immigrants is up 38% from the same time period in 2016, according to Immigration and Customs Enforcement data released Wednesday.
ICE Acting Director Thomas Homan said his agency is focusing on undocumented immigrants with criminal records, the "bad hombres" that Trump spoke about throughout his presidential campaign. But the data show that the biggest jump in arrests involved undocumented immigrants without a criminal record, a 156% increase from last year.
Between Jan. 22 and April 29, ICE arrested 10,845 people whose immigration violations were the only marks on their record. That's nearly triple the 4,242 people arrested during the same time period in President Barack Obama's final year in office.
Of all the people arrested by ICE this year, nearly 75% had a criminal record. In Obama's final year in office, 92% of people arrested by ICE in the country had a criminal record.
"I get asked a lot why we arrest somebody that’s not a criminal," Homan said. "Those who do enter the country illegally, they do violate the law, that is a criminal act."
Immigrant rights activist have been sounding the alarm for months now that this claim has always been a lie to cover for the fact that Trump and his immigration agents are in reality “targeting every immigrant they can get their hands on and calling all of them criminals.” Under Trump’s racist agenda, immigrant parents who have been using a fake document for the sole purpose of working and supporting their families (since Congress won’t pass legislation to let them work legally in the first place) are treated the same as dangerous criminals.
has anyone suggested that rich people keep writing shitty articles about millennials because the only millennials they know are their rich shitty children
I feel like these two things may be related to each other, New York Times.
being made aware that someone believes that people’s value is in their ability to contribute to the economy or great social achievements, and/or thinks people are less deserving of care, of a happy life, because they fall into some category of ‘failure’ or ‘useless’ in the eyes of society. dries me up real quick.
I like to lower people’s expectations by continuing to dress like a middle schooler. [via dumpaday]
