Fine with me. I think Jason Momoa looks much better clean shaven. I think most men do. Blame it on being unduly influenced by seeing this cartoon in my childhood.

Exactly! I would have sworn that I don’t judge people by their bodies, don’t fat shame, but realized that on some level I clearly do have prejudice I need to work on because once, when cursing at that creature in the White House when he was nattering away on TV, I said, “Shut up, you fat fuck.” As soon as the words…

I wonder if body shape is also a factor. I’m team blue, and I’m a “pear” so my waist is a lot smaller than my chest/rib cage. That means it’s super easy to hook in the front and then spin the bra around. A good friend is an “apple,” and the spinning around part is more of a challenge for her, so she’s team red.

It was Ladies Home Journal that let you know if a marriage could be saved. :-)

Writer/producer David Simon is currently suspended from Twitter for replying “Die of boils” when someone addressed an anti-Semitic tweet to him. So, the anti-Semitism was OK with Twitter, but “die of boils” is considered a serious threat.

I’ve had the same problem with “most recent” and now there’s something new — when I forget to verify that I haven’t been switched to “Top Stories,” I’m seeing posts that didn’t show up under “most recent.” If these posts are so popular, why isn’t Facebook letting me see them under “most recent”? (Rhetorical question,…

Thank you. His abuse of Leo is always the first thing I think of when his name comes up and it’s amazed me that it’s been ignored in every obit I’ve seen. I understand about “De mortuis nil nisi bonum,” but that’s never stopped obit writers before.

I don’t care for Anne Hathaway (don’t hate her, just don’t care for her), and you’ve perfectly explained, better than I could have, why. I don’t care that she’s uncool, but “over the top” is the problem (for me). I always have the feeling that, even in real life, a little of her goes a long way.

Thank you for this explanation. No, I never thought people were transitioning because they liked dolls when they were children, but I’ve often felt uneasy reading articles/books by parents of young children (generally amab children) that focus on how the child wanted long hair or liked dolls or had pink as a favorite…

Report back, please.

Sorry — no comment intended, and Kinja won’t let me make it go away.

Yes! Today, for the first time in too long (and before I even saw this article), I did a clean-out of that drawer and it was obvious I had had rodent visitors. Yuck.

So glad to see this comment. I’d put off even reading the article, because my reaction to the documentary was pretty much, “Wow, I’ll bet in real life, a little of each one of them went a long way,” while everything I’d read made it clear the rest of the world didn’t see it that way at all. At least now I know I’m not…

I still have my ‘86 Chevy Blazer. (I’m the original owner.) It’s no longer my primary vehicle, but I still drive it regularly. When GM does it right, GM does indeed do it right.

I honestly didn’t take “I’m not gay” as a deliberate attempt on his part to hide his sexuality. It’s a pretty usual rhetorical formulation — “I’m not black, but I support BLM,” “I’m not Jewish, but I work to combat anti-Semitism,” etc. Those speakers aren’t attempting to hide their race or religion, they’re simply…

And has gay priests and bishops. Glad you’re reminding people not all Christian denominations are filled with Jerry Fallwell clones.

Coming in long after this discussion ended to add that Weiner has had bariatric surgery to try to turn herself into a thin woman, so I find it disingenuous for her to present in her rant as though she is in some way better than people like Glennon (who, she implies, have bought into superficiality by actually looking…

I did wonder how much of his (Sean’s) defensiveness was because his own father was an abuser and it makes him uncomfortable to see another man being called out for it.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who is ridiculously excited about this.

Both McCain and Ryan have primary challengers. Ryan doesn’t seem to be in any danger from his, but McCain’s primary race looks to be more competitive.
