No, it isn’t clearly a positive. My mom lost 100 lbs once. Because she had cancer and it was throat cancer, so she couldn’t eat. There was nothing healthy about that. The best thing is to just not comment on a person’s body at all.

As someone who works in costuming for theatre, that’s so disappointing to hear. Our job is to make the people on stage look amazing, and there’s no size limit on that — that’s literally what we’re trained for, to make clothes that fit individual bodies *perfectly*. We’re definitely not there to editorialize or pass…

worth thinking about.  Thanks.

I remember back when Steffi Graf was in her late teens/early 20s, the German press used to regularly angst that she was going to get a boyfriend soon and lose her virginity and therefore her magical tennis powers. I never saw a single similar article about Boris Becker losing his talent along with his virginity, of…

How so? Organizing books in a different way doesn’t necessarily mean someone has read them either. One can have them organized according to the Dewey Decimal system and not have read a single one and just be going for the aesthetic. One can have books scattered in “to-read piles” around the house and never read a…

I agree that a series should stay together. Maybe one shelf especially for books in a series.

I have a friend who did this in their house, and yeah it does look pretty good. To the point that I was almost like, “okay, maybe I shouldn’t be so snobby about color-coded bookshelves.”

I am a voracious reader and I love a color-coded bookshelf. I’m a visual person and I remember the covers of books even faster than an author’s name. They’re much easier to find when they’re ordered by color. People who look down on this method are not only snobs, but they’re lazy snobs, not taking a moment to reflect…

That guy shouldn’t have brought 14 boxes of porn into his parents’ house after they explicitly said “No porn,” shouldn’t have lied about it, and shouldn’t have expected the parents to deliver said porn to him.

I love that J.K. Simmons has voiced the yellow M&M for like 20 years.

That was a “trick”, to make sure the promoter was reading the rider carefully, and providing every single thing the band requested on the day of show.  The thinking was that, if you can’t trust someone to make sure there are no green candies, do you trust them to supply the guys who hang thousands of pounds of truss,…

I hate advertising. I work in advertising. I’m sure the creatives that came up with this won awards and accolades. There’s so much bullshit about what “the concept” is in this industry, they lose sight of any fucking sense.

I know this was created in the 90s and at that time any woman in an ad had to be sexy because no…

All this analysis about candy sexuality, and not a single “melts in your mouth, not in your hand” gag?

I laughed.

I second the NO.

I’m 5'10...I would look like Bambi trying to take its 1st steps in these :(

What’s wrong with flat dress shoes? These seem more like a medieval punishment device.  

Does this mean that Sam was Carrie’s best friend, then? I always thought it was Miranda.

Fucking hell they really hate having tv reviews over here at this tv website.

what bothers me the most is that the avclub won’t even let you finish the season. the podcast is ending too
