Okay, so I've never really watched the muppets, I don't think (maybe it's not as popular here in Sweden? please don't hate me), but I just wanted to say how inexplicably happy I am about the fact that they really NAILED his faux swedish.

I know you’re right, the quality of medical education has improved greatly in recent decades. But the majority of medical professionals, especially those in power with the ability to make institutional decisions, still come from a time when they didn’t have to understand anything about science except how to pass…

Many doctors are very poor scientists, if at all. Understanding the scientific method is only recently becoming an important part of medical training. The vast majority of medical education centres on rote memorization, with little thought given to the principles that underly the phenomena being memorized. Outside of…

OH MY TOTAL GOD THE ONE IN THE LADYBUG COSTUME!

Let me take a brief break from posting funny pictures.

Not quite. She testified in Polanski's libel case against Vanity Fair (VF wrote that Polanski was picking up women in New York shortly after Sharon Tate's murder; Polanski sued and won, having demonstrated that he was nowhere near New York at the time). Mia Farrow did not, to my knowledge, sign the Polanski petition…

I also have an "organic" mental illness, and I do not share your opinion on this issue. Acknowledging the social, biological, and genetic roots of addiction in no way detracts from the legitimacy of my mental illness. Lots of people think I could just stop being depressed if I wanted to. If I tried hard enough. If…

I am an ex-junkie. I have been very lucky to stay off of it for most of my adult life, thanks to day-to-day persistence and work as well as love and support from people I know, whether they know the effect of it or not.

Many people…

"Oh, thank you, darling. But I sold my watch to buy you this brush..."

I think they are rude because the are outerwear. When someone does not take their hat or coat off, I wonder, "Are you not staying for long? Do you have somewhere better to be? Am I not deserving of your time? Is this a chore for you?" Also, my personal love for hat wearing is because it gives me anonymity in public…

The original article refers to Nino Dean as a he, so...

Ya know what's interesting about people's protest to your comment? Actually there are a few interesting things. First, this country has eminent domained the shit out of people's land. And when they ain't doing that, they are gentrifying the fuck outta more neighborhoods than should be allowed. It's like "Oh, noes! Not…

Ran into Target last night to grab some food on the way home. And by food, I mean I box of Kraft Mac-n-cheese (yes, I eat like a toddler.)

Molly Ivins' takedown of Paglia still makes me laugh.

cranberry juice (or soda) and gin looks festive and gets you where you're going.

I think they already made this movie.

I need some help and advice here please. I’m 49, widow, gotta have all my teeth out NOW. Don’t like discussing this but having shit teeth has held me back for so long. It’s like people look at my teeth and think,” well that’s a loser for ya”. It’s been so hard to even find a job cause of the fangs. I try to tell…

Also:

I believe some men are too scared to ask women these questions because they know, deep down in the hairy masculine vault of their very being, that these are some profoundly stupid questions.
