Sort of off-topic but: they are selling a collectible articulated Antiope Barbie...it may not be a traditional action figure but it’s kinda cool in its own way.

I feel sorry for the leaker - she’s been arrested. Patriot.

And the US embassy in London has also gone renegade:

Can you imagine FDR tweeting “Pathetic excuse by PM Winston Churchill who had to think fast on his “Keep Calm & Carry On” remark. Sad!”

when did we stop extreme vetting our presidents?

What a fucknut. No David, it’s not out of bounds to discuss the attractiveness of an actor in a review (unless the actor in question is 11 years old like Watson was, you sick fuck). But it is out of line to carry on about it for the entire fucking review, all the while making extra creepy statements like how Israeli…

“The problem is that nobody cares about my boner!” he whined.

I have yet to catch up on this show despite everything be telling me I’ll love it.

Robin Wright is coming for the patriarchy from every corner this week. I’m here for it.

I’ve never watched the show, but from the photos you’ve posted, I say, damn whoever’s doing the tailoring for Robin Wright should win an Emmy. That is fitting perfection!

I assume it’s just the way our brains are wired. I still think about awkward things I’ve said and did that happened years ago, sometimes decades ago. I really wish I could find a way to let things go because I think I’d be a lot happier for it.

This is very good advice, but I wonder...why are some of us this way? Is it something we’re born with? The result of some traumatic incident in childhood? I’d really like to know.

I still cringe about things I did in 2nd grade.

Harder said than done for the anxiety wracked amongst us, but a good goal to work for. Another technique I’ve picked up over the years is to remind myself that people spend 99% of the time thinking of themselves and not thinking about a minor stupidity that an acquaintance said.

People are also forgetting that these kids had _just_ been accepted. The admissions officers at super-selective schools have thousands and thousands of really amazing applicants to choose from. It’s only logical that they would prefer to pick up one of the just-as-qualified kids off the wait list rather than sticking…

I’m not sure Harvard is funded by the government? Many faculty at Harvard, mostly at the grad schools, do receive grant funding from NIH/NCI/NSF. But those grants are awarded to the individual faculty investigators, not to Harvard the institution. If a faculty member leaves Harvard for another university, his/her…

BYU will expel you for looking at the uncovered ankle of the opposite sex too long. And expel the person showing the ankle.

I think it is worth mentioning. The only people who could feasibly run for that sort of position are incumbents who are likely to win or people who are independently wealthy enough that they can pay for things like health insurance completely out of pocket while not holding a 9-5 job.

Or it could bring up the “this is why so-called ‘women’s issues’ are actually ‘everyone’s issues’” argument. It points out that due to the burden of elder care falling largely to women of working age, we’re losing a viable and valuable portion of our workforce and political potential because there is no other…
