  1. The original House Party was a classic when I saw it as a kid. I saw it a few years ago & still held up. Number 2 was also pretty good but wasn’t too keen on 3.

  2. Siiiigh I remember watching House Party at the movie theatre with my major crush bff when I was 15. Damn she was smart 1and cute. I hope she’s doing well, wherever she is.

  3. Also that get in line comment about Rihanna, Dr CP? Is there a bullet train available because I’m not seeing the end of that line.

  4. Hey, the link to “Hundreds Of Staff At The Guardian Have Signed A Letter To The Editor Criticising Its “Transphobic Content”” doesn’t seem to be working?
