Ah, HTML. HyperText Markup Language. Basically, the stuff websites are made from. The cloth from which our internet is cut. And utilizable in our comment section in particular, but also in many comment sections all around this interconnected cyberspace we’ve built ourselves.

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: I’m Reading A Newspaper As We Speak, Even Though It Might Be Frowned Upon

FRIDAY OPEN THREAD: I’m Reading A Newspaper As We Speak, Even Though It Might Be Frowned Upon

We have a Friday Open Thread every week, most likely because a lot of us would rather sit at the computer than embark on journeys out-of-doors (is it just me?) but also because you’re all so cute that I just wanna pinch your cheeks and I can’t imagine myself doing that without first creating a safe space in which you can post photos of those cute faces as well as your pets. Especially your pets.

Kate McKinnon, a Saturday Night Live featured player since 2012, won the American Comedy Award for Best Supporting Actress, TV at a ceremony Thursday night.

Before she was on SNL, she was a star of Logo’s Big Gay Sketch Show. McKinnon is SNL‘s first openly lesbian cast member (Danitra Vance, also the first African American woman to be a repertory player on the show, wasn’t out during her run) and only third LGBT cast member ever. Last year she was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Emmy for her work on SNL, but did not win.
