JK Rowlings dropped a little stinky one:

There is clear evidence that the Chamber was opened more than once between the death of Slytherin and the entrance of Tom Riddle in the twentieth century. When first created, the Chamber was accessed through a concealed trapdoor and a series of magical tunnels. However, when Hogwarts’ plumbing became more elaborate in the eighteenth century (this was a rare instance of wizards copying Muggles, because hitherto they simply relieved themselves wherever they stood, and vanished the evidence), the entrance to the Chamber was threatened, being located on the site of a proposed bathroom. The presence in school at the time of a student called Corvinus Gaunt – direct descendant of Slytherin, and antecedent of Tom Riddle – explains how the simple trapdoor was secretly protected, so that those who knew how could still access the entrance to the Chamber even after newfangled plumbing had been placed on top of it.

"wherever they stood" ?

Like, lift your robe and wiz on the floor?

I gotta say... I've been trying to avoid all Trump-related media, but there is simply no such thing anymore. Everything is all-Trump all the time. Exactly as it has been for the past 18 months.

But, I have a concern.

I wonder if Trump et al have given any thought to what their constant lying will do to their ability to lead should something catastrophic happen? The media has finally caught on to the fact that Trump & Co. lies constantly, about everything, big or small; and now everything they say is reported with an eye-roll and a sigh. And that's great. But what happens if something major happens - a terrorist attack, hurricane, giant meteor, alien invasion, etc. - where the public needs to know exactly what the government is doing? If we can't trust them to tell the truth about trivialities, we can't trust them to tell the truth about important things, either. But do they care? I suppose they probably haven't thought it through. They should.

No, Gwyneth Paltrow, women should not put jade eggs in their vaginas, gynecologist says

It wasn't that long ago when Gwyneth Paltrow raved about the benefits of vaginal steaming, a non-scientifically proven process of sitting over a hot pot of water filled with herbs for up to 45 minutes to “cleanse your uterus” and “balance female hormone levels,” as the actress had put it.

Most recently, Paltrow's lifestyle website Goop, which promoted vaginal steaming, is at it again with another advice for women: putting a jade egg — yes, a solid object about the size of a golf ball — in your vagina, and keeping it there all day or while you're sleeping.

Hmm.

Help I'm steppin' into the twilight zone
The place is a madhouse
Feels like being cloned
My beacon's been moved
Under moon and star
Where am I to go
Now that I've gone too far

I've never known what he was singing in the bolded part.

Took me 34 years to bother looking it up.

They spent the whole FX budget on a space lion/rhino suit and sedation for that dog. I don't even know what the sticks coming out of the back of its head are supposed to be.

Not me, this guy:

Wallow in the despair of @sadtopographies.

Been unable to leave the house since Friday. Wine is almost out.

A guy is taking his girlfriend to prom. He waits in the ticket line for a really long time but gets them. He goes to rent a limo. The rental line is really long but he eventually does it. He goes to buy her flowers. The line at the florist is really long but eventually he gets the flowers. At prom, she asks him to go get punch. He goes to the refreshment table and there’s no punchline.
