"Over the past 20 years or more, as the American people were getting fatter, so were America's marmosets."

I don't know either. That's why I'm always surprised when other people are surprised that a popular figurehead is accused of rape - their attitude seems to be "but he doesn't need to!" when I'm thinking "he knows no one will believe the victim."

I think it's important to focus on this, because it's THIS dynamic that enables so much rape and sexual abuse. The juxtaposition of someone you love and trust, sleep next to every night, next to a monstrous crime allegation, is more than most people can take. It's very difficult to look at your loved one and believe a…

I'm guessing it was the wife's cat originally and the husband is not an animal person. I agree that the cat is probably kicked/smacked on a regular basis. I wish they had put the cat up for adoption - he would be better off in a different home.

My favorite theory - though I don't think it's right - is that Yellow King is a hallucinogenic drug that people in the cult take.

Sexists love the term "females" because it carries a whiff of evo psych and gender essentialism, like we're all cave people at heart and the females are all about nursing babies, cooking dinner over a fire and throwing sticks at female rivals. "Women" sounds too powerful for them.

Most of these prices are quite a bit lower than what my friends have paid. Friend just paid 10K for her nose, for instance.

Every time I describe this show to someone, and get to the part where Nostradamus is there, they exclaim with sheer historical outrage. I think it's hilarious.

I love Reign. There, I said it. I love the costumes, the hair, the general preposterousness of the storylines, and the way the castle is full of secret trysts and illegitimate children. It's the frothy, pretty antidote to all the other heavy and grisly shows I watch.

We're going to have to ask Sleater Kinney to change the lyrics to "I Wanna Be Your Joey Ramone."

It is. I'll warn you, the art is quite different from the usual Dan Parent style, but I think that's what people love about it. The tone is somber and more adult - it's like they took the Archie characters and pushed them into a dark and grim universe. For instance, there's a panel where Sabrina's aunts go scary and…

Archie has really made an effort lately. People think it's the Wonder bread of comic books, and it kind of is, but the Kevin Keller title (lead character is gay) is groundbreaking in my book and Archie Afterlife (zombie outbreak in Riverdale!) is amazing. I'm glad TPTB are keeping the universe relevant.

pad thai.

Okay, that was most adorable speech ever. Lupita, we need more of you.

Jared Leto's mom just outfoxed every silver fox on the planet.

Oh, dear. I feel for her.

Last year? or this year? I thought she tripped in the past.

The state is made up of many old conservatives, Mormons and fundamentalists and Republican snowbirds on one side - and a lot of genuinely friendly, progressive, laidback younger people on the other. Unfortunately the first group is the one who gets politically organized. We've elected a bisexual state senator and now…

No. Her veto letter says that in fact she thinks the religious conservatives have a point.

I definitely think Maggie's father is part of the cult. I kind of wonder if ultimately they'll try to buy Marty's silence by inviting him in and he'll be so broken by then he'll say yes. (Or already has, and Rust finds out and they have the ultimate showdown.)
