        Or the thing you do in hockey.

        Or the thing you do to the front of a vending machine to rock it back off its front feet - always to the back, like they teach canadian kids in school - and let it settle back onto its toes and kick the packet of pretzels from where it’s stuck so it falls to the door below.

    Love Pedro Pascal, great ally

    But journalists need to stop using slam for this, he called her out on her bullshit. Just call it like it fucking is. With the way shitty journalists use slam it has lost any and all meaning

    Someone’s gonna pipe up and remind us he has a trans person in his family somewhere. But, unlike republicans, I think Mr Pascal can be empathetic and caring without being affected personally. He’s a functioning adult. Just saying, I bet he’d be awesome either way.
