Perhaps... but the Louvre shouldn’t have accepted if they didn’t think it had artistic merit. The problem is that we’re seeing this more and more—crowds of people clutching their pearls over one thing or another, and museums pulling works of art because of it. Whether the art is good or bad is not for me to decide…

The kids are all too busy watching 50 shades of grey.

What a time to be reminded that it’s easier in this country to buy a fucking machine gun than it is to get an abortion.

Kardashian turned a sex tape into a multimillion dollar empire and has many businesses, none of which have ever been bankrupt.

Here’s how that worked: “Go to the mansion and you’ll be able to model and maybe you’ll get a career or a centerfold. It’s opportunity! You’ll be a star, maybe!” That would be the Modeling Agency, aka procurer. How do I know this? I modeled in the late 80s and 90s in Chicago. the number of times I was told to show up…

Kid is gorgeous, but opera length gloves with day frock are a big no no. deja vualloveragain

’m sorry I wasn’t aware we always had to agree with our husbands.

Well then she has that same day every single time she puts out a column. They’re all train wrecks.

Also, maybe you married the wrong person? When that happens we often look for signs of trouble anywhere we can find it. Think about it.

Whoa, don’t insult Old Gregg like that man

I’ve already hardened my heart against him. Don’t make me think about how darling he’d look in a peignoir.

This is very much an io9 thread now.

I don’t agree on cost and the gym. A traditional diet is almost always cheaper than what I see in grocery carts nowadays. Soul food, Caribbean, African, Latin are all cheap because slavery/colonialism.

It’s also a big socioeconomic issue. Fast food/ junk food is often cheaper than fresh health produce. Also, if you’re poor & living in a paycheck-to-paycheck situation and are living in a place without means to cook (shelters, SROs, motels, etc often don’t have a kitchen for personal use). You’d think that people in…

Oh, thank goodness. I came here to write this, and am glad I’m not alone in this reaction. If someone wants to figure out my astrological compatibility, they should by all means ask for the relevant information, because I want to know if a date puts stock in such things beyond occasional amusement value as soon as…

I think everyone should absolutely upfront ask for this information if they want it. Because it will tell their date that they’re batshit insane. And if the date answers enthusiastically it means they’re equally insane and the chart might not be needed because they’re super compatible.

A whole nation doesn’t suddenly become weak willed—systemic factors are at play.

This is what is called an emotional affair, it’s an affair of the heart. For this reason, they’re even more nasty than the ones that are purely physical. “He didn’t want my body” becomes “he didn’t really want me”. This is when you’re in love with someone else and continue to interact with them despite being with your…

I think she means this though specifically in an American context. Japanese citizens probably wouldn’t be offended by someone in a geisha costume because they’re not a minority group. Japanese Americans on the other hand might have a different experience because they are a minority group.
