RIGHT?! AND I LIKED BONES WHEN I WATCHED IT.

OMG I JUST LOST MY SHIT

Oh no! Is that why he prowls the earth looking for corpses so he can devour their bones now? Such is my understanding of the plot of Bones.

They could seriously just remake things from their 90s catalogs and sell them. First there's the nostalgia market (I'd totally buy that purple frilly shirt dress right now if I could). Second, the young things are all trying to dress 90s now because it's vintage.

Plus, there are about a thousand things I would rather hear first, for example:

"You are incredibly stylish!"

"Your student debt has magically disappeared!"

"Congratulations on your Pulitzer!"

et cetera.

Yeah, I also like how everyone seems to be ignoring the fact that plenty of women face daily street harassment about how ugly or fat they are, too. Those aren't compliments. Neither is being told I'm pretty. In fact, never in my life has a stranger shouted at me something that made me think "Oh wow, I feel so much…

I mean, I'm not Catholic and I'm not too hot on defending them, but they aren't Biblical literalists. They think that was an allegory, not the literal history of the world.

Exactly. I learned about evolution in Catholic grade school in the 70s in Indiana. Not exactly a mecca of forward thinking.

The impact is that a global religious leader has come down firmly on the side of evolution. Of course a lot of evangelicals consider Catholics as Not True Christians, so I don't know how much of…

Jesuits... the shit, man.

It's not a big deal at all.

The Catholic Church has never opposed the Theory of Evolution, and it was a Catholic priest and physics professor who originally proposed what's now known as the Big Bang Theory.

The people who think the Catholic Church opposed Evolution or BBT simply don't know what they're talking about, or…

It's not if you are/were a practicing Catholic. I went to a super creepy Opus Dei school and even those nut jobs taught evolution.

Not. The Church hasn't argued with evolution in more than a half century.

The idea that evolution and the big bang theory are sacrilegious and absolutely could not possibly be true and God doesn't want science in schools is more pervasive among certain protestant denominations than among Catholics. Especially the protestant churches most prevalent in the southern and rural parts of the…

This is so annoying. There are many, many things wrong with the Catholic Church but the belief that evolution does not conflict with Catholic teaching has been upheld since the 1950s. Catholic fundamentalism really is quite a different thing from Protestant fundamentalism.

Not at all. The Church has been down with Darwin and the BBT for decades.

I said the same thing. I went to school with a lot of Muslim kids, most of whom were Malaysian.

You sure as shit wouldn't want to be openly gay in Jamaica.

The view is especially rare among Central Asian and European Muslims. Only 6 percent of Russian Muslims agree that converts from Islam should face death, as do 1 percent of Albanian Muslims and, at the bottom of the chart, 0.5 percent of Kazakhs.

Do you know of any social grouping that doesn't have an advocacy organization?

I'm sure you didn't mean to offend, but it's tiring to hear Flushing constantly being compared to Chinatown. We hear it all the time. If you're writing for the larger audience of people who are not familiar with Flushing, they're not going to get the snark. The people who know Flushing are going to get the snark. …
