Postgrad student of early modern (English) history here! I remember reading up on trials in sixteenth-century England for infanticide, and there are few words to adequately describe the horror you feel, as a woman, for what women in the early modern period had to go through. It's interesting to see that this was…

First of all, thank so much for this incredibly well-written and eye-opening piece.

Man, SHE’S gross. I think he is an abuse victim, same as a female child would be considered in this case if the role’s were reversed. He’s an adult now but honestly his life has been so intertwined with hers as she basically stole his childhood and saddled him with kids super early. As a result, this woman has always…

Tidal has managed to make me feel a strange sort of intense loyalty to Spotify, which is something I never thought possible. Somehow, I don’t think that’s what Jay-Z was going for.

I am copying this wholesale from someone else's comment, but it breaks it down perfectly.

You obviously need to watch it again.

He's like George Washington when he defeated The Al-Qaeda and commies at the Battle of 'Murica.

I'm in the grays so probably this won't get read, but saying there is no test for viability isn't true (and I say this as a pro-choice doctor). There are lots of tests for viability, which routinely get used when a doctor is making the decision whether or not to deliver a preterm baby—for instance, in the case of…

Llama face!!!

The guy at the end LASSO'ED THE LLAMA FROM THE BACK OF A PICKUP TRUCK.

We judge each other a lot by our homes and judge each other's class position by our homes; homes are a symbol of our class..
