They find documentaries boring? I have no idea. Just rent Man On Wire, it’s excellent!

Surely that’s the point of the game, it seems simple but put under slight pressure is for some reason very difficult. He had Rachel Dratch name 20 white people in a minute and she couldn’t do it.

Normally I’d agree with you—I find this kind of thing frustrating and weirdly promoting celebrities as our feminist role models as opposed to say...feminist activists. But Streep is starring as Emmeline Pankhurst in a film literally called Suffragette, so there’s cause to ask about it in this specific case.

Because as eager as people seem to be for dog lovers to shut up about how their dogs are like children to them, there is evidence to suggest their brains literally react to them they way they would to their own children.

YIKES.

Summer can go fuck itself.

I was weirdly annoyed with that bit in the book—she says something like she doesn’t want to go into the details because she doesn’t like people knowing her shit. I think I overreacted a bit to that out of desire to know what happened but my brain instantly went “don’t write a fucking memoir then, Poehler!” I do love…

Don’t even get the Kroll Truthers started on Tig Notaro. It’s the weirdest thing.

Yeah, seeing this otherwise funny gif is ruined for me because all I can think of every time I see it is the horrifying Reddit reaction.

I’m pretty baffled by what my response to this is apparently supposed to be. How dare he?

This is a joke, right? Yeah, I’ve read all the Austen novels. I own the BBC version. The 2005 film is a much, much better film. Adaptations are just that and don’t have to be precisely accurate to the novels they’re based on.

That’s a thing?!

Eh, I don’t know. Jane’s supposed to be the great beauty of the family but Lizzie is by no means meant to be not gorgeous. And I’d probably agree that Rosamund Pike is the better-looking of the two of them, not that that matters.

I LOVE the 2005 film version.

People seem to be assuming that trigger warnings are being used to say “don’t take this course if you have these triggers” when it seems more likely that it’s saying “if you take this course, just be sure to mentally and emotionally prepare yourself for when we discuss these things”. When I was a young student we…

Remember when this website used to be against any kind of appearance shaming? Do people really think it’s impossible to joke about this article without (in one case literally) saying “would not bang”?

We say and spell it aluminium because the man who named it originally went with “aluminum” but then changed it to fit better with the names of other element (helium and so on). No one knows why you lot still call it aluminum!

If I recall people said that to Lindy West a LOT as well. It’s just about the fucking stupidest thing I could imagine someone trying to use as an insult. These people would have told young women in the 70s frightened by stories of Ted Bundy’s murders that they’re not hot enough for him to kill.

Likewise people seem pretty content to say they think O.J. Simpson killed his wife despite being found not guilty in a cout of law. This really does seem to apply to rape cases more than anything—people make their views about someone’s guilt or innocence in high profile court cases known all the time. I wonder how…

Your latter statement is what I’m getting at. People are dredging up “well he’s innocent until proven guilty” which is true in a court of law but they’re essentially using it to say “people shouldn’t say he did it”. He will likely see no legal recourse for these actions but as you say with Jimmy Savile, that doesn’t…
