It’s also possible, of course, that better reporting and increased public awareness about STDs has resulted in more people getting tested, which in turn is driving up the numbers.

Personally I always loved the shear brass of the line. I found it easy as a kid to set the fake over wrought and as you said just cringe worthy jive aside and love the fact that this line and that moment happened!

When I was in my early twenties, I drove my friend to the hospital after his dad had a heart attack. I stuck around with him waiting for news, and we were sitting outside the hospital on the curb when the strangest thing happened.

I just wonder whether any of these writers read books, say, on GULAG. because compared to that shit, all these dystopias sound meek. toothless. nice.

I immediately thought Statham. “Roight you lot, yer gonna break into that there cave of mysteries, see? We gorra get ah hands on a lamp. And it’s no’ like one of ‘em three-way lamps, nah, just a little brass thing, innit?”

My two posts on Facebook today: 1. If you are a woman, and you still plan to vote for Trump, you are an insult to every woman on this planet who has risked life and death to be treated as equal, respected, citizens free of violence, rape, degradation, enslavement, and servitude. You are a disgrace. If you are a…

Snotty elitist fashion people shit on Kim, a noted Not Rail Thin Well Groomed Sorbonne Educated White Woman.

Girl boss is worse than moist for me.

Everyone on planet earth broke my heart when they didn’t watch Pushing Daisies and it got cancelled.

If you’re wondering when the right time to bring up the possibility of sexism being a factor here... It’s never.

I just love seeing these comments. Our stories are so important to us… and define what we aspire to as a species. We’re pretty cool – even on a universal level. There’s hope for us yet.

That we’re about to get a lavishly-produced studio science fiction film not based on an existing franchise or a hackneyed action plot, starring two enormously talented and appealing A-list stars and using a no-shit hard s.f. premise as its jumping off point, and most of the io9 readership is shitting on it is a pretty…

MISERY was not an instruction booklet.

I also want to note- I just checked out the interview after reading about it here- They say some really ignorant shit about trigger warnings, too.

It is funny because Batman Begins saved us from campy, terrible superhero movies (actually Blade deserves some credit too) and made them believable and realistic. So WB had the formula but then made a Batman movie out of Superman and took all the hope and fun out of Superman with Man of Steel. It is like they think…

It’s also assuming that other people don’t have commitments that prevent them from hanging out at a Target all morning. Like oh, I don’t know... a real job they have to be at before Target even opens, maybe?

Don’t know about cyclical, but definitely think there is something to a culture preferring a weakened woman after periods when they are able to assert some kind of control over themselves.

You know when you hear someone laugh at a restaurant? It’s a little jarring.

If X-Men ever goes back to Marvel, you wont see another Black Panther, Black Widow, Doctor Strange or outlier like GotG, because marvel would pump out so many X-men movies they couldnt produce anything else other than Avengers movies.

Don’t people understand anything? Beyonce never really talks about the other woman, she doesn’t rage at her or confront her. She doesn’t degrade the other woman. This album is not for them. It’s not for the side-chick; it’s not for the cheating spouse; it’s for all the women who’ve been cheated and lied to and had to…
