Hulu is putting on The Handmaid’s Tale (with Samira Wiley squee!), HBO supposedly is still doing a series based on Oryx and Crake (although I haven’t heard anything about it recently), and now Netflix is adapting Alias Grace! It’s a great time to be an Atwood fan!

Well, I’m really sad. The show had a rough start, and for sure it’s not as great as The Colbert Report, but it’s gotten so much better and I have to praise the diverse cast. I LOVE that half the contributors are women, that women’s viewpoints are represented, which is something the Daily Show is REALLY lacking right…

Your information on what constitutes a food group is 20 years out of date. But clearly you don’t give a shit what trained dieticians say, you just hate vegetarians for illogical reasons that have no basis in actual science. I guess it makes you feel better about yourself. Good for you.

My diet is not unbalanced. My kids’ diet is not unbalanced. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1956286… It is no more “crap” than the standard American diet. But thanks for proving my point!

My kids can choose to eat meat later in life. No one is stopping them. Society seems ok with parents making choices for their children unless it’s vegetarianism, then OMG concern trolling everywhere. If you feed your child meat you are making a choice for them. If you don’t feed your child meat you are making a choice…

Hmm, shouldn’t there just be a general law against feeding your child a diet that results in personal injury or suffering, or death?? Why do we need to single out vegans here? We’re vegetarian and I’m just fed up with getting shit about it. I don’t think I could do vegan healthily, but my vegetarian children eat…

I feel the same way. He just has to keep being a complete train wreck for 3 more months. Fingers crossed.

I thought it was illegal to make threats against the president but maybe it doesn’t count for presidential candidates.

I was so worried someone would take a shot at Obama, but it didn’t happen despite the nonsense from the right that he was destroying America. However, Trump is riling people up in really dangerous ways, so it seems kind of worse to me.

Psst: Most networks will let you watch the 5 most recent episodes on their website free. http://www.fox.com/gotham/full-ep…

I have no idea on the data about Bernie voters specifically, (although I’ve read that many are first-time voters), but progressives in general, especially young progressives, do not vote in midterms. Which is why we keep getting creamed in Congress. If we had more progressives in Congress, we could actually get…

Only if you have insurance. Texas didn’t expand Medicaid so you can only get Medicaid in TX as an adult if you are pregnant or disabled. So there’s lots of poor women who are still uninsured.

I wish I could star this 100 times. I used to somewhat sympathize with the Green party, even though I refuse to vote for them because I don’t want another repeat of 2000, but Jill Stein is just awful. And don’t even get me started on the idiot Berners who are voting for Gary Johnson because apparently their major…

Yes, watching the convention makes me so proud to be a Democrat. I have never watched the whole convention before, but this election is so important and I am looking for some hope.

Castile is obviously the more sympathetic victim. No criminal background, did literally nothing wrong, overall nice guy who works with children. It doesn’t mean that Sterling deserved to be executed any more, but people care more when a really good person has been murdered vs a hardened criminal.

It’s clear to me that some of his jokes regarding American culture/politics were written by somebody else and he doesn’t really “get” them. I like him, but he’s strongest when he’s joking about his own experiences. He wasn’t the right choice for The Daily Show.

The absolute idiocy, willful ignorance, and blind misogyny of my own “side” is just killing me this election. I’m used to hating Republicans but ironically it’s people I generally agree with politically who may deliver the presidency to Trump.

Agree. I’m so disappointed about this. Ep 10 was not only the best episode of the series, but the best TV episode I’ve ever watched, and most of that comes down to the direction.

Same here. My pubes are so coarse and itchy and annoy the shit out of me if they get long, but shaving/waxing results in ingrowns from hell. So I trim it on the lowest setting.

I usually just trim it as closely as possible with an electric trimmer. I hate pubic hair and wish I could get rid of it permanently. Maybe laser someday. I do shave the sides/back sometimes as I’m less prone to ingrowns there than the mons. I loved the Brazilian for about a week before regrowth started, then it was…
