It’s amazing how the “those sluts should just their legs closed” crowd never seem to think the “sex is only acceptable for procreation” rule should apply to THEM.

I’m so sorry about your pup. They don’t live anywhere near long enough.

It’s funny — I have two dogs who don’t particularly like each other. Sophie has never forgiven Buster for preceding her, and they don’t really interact except when she’s harassing or trying to hump him (which is hilarious given that she’s half his size). But they’re still significantly happier and calmer when they’re…

Right. Being outraged about the atrocities committed by an “other” is easy, safe and comfortable. Ditto being outraged about things that allows you to condemn other people without having to examine your own complicity in the thing you’re decrying. It’s not a coincidence that Westerners care a whole lot about the…

You said you have no problem with eating animals as long as they’re treated humanely. So you either have a problem with eating animals raised in America, or you were claiming that animals raised in America are treated humanely. I’m going to go out on a limb and say it’s probably not option A.

And yet still not humanely.

I’m well aware of raising and slaughter practices in China, thanks. The fact that it’s unbelievably horrible there really doesn’t change the fact that suggesting animals slaughtered in America are treated humanely is, to put it in your terms, absolutely laughable.

It’s really not the case in America, either. 

We didn’t discuss the cat.

In that case, I say go all out:“With whom do you think you’re messing?”

Thus, you get “you can’t end a sentence with a preposition” (untrue) and other bullshit rules that people loooooove to trot out when they need to feel superior to others because they have no other argument.

The master race, ladies and gentlemen.

Or you could use a smooth-edge can opener and have no sharp edges at all.

I’m mostly curious to see it for Kieran Culkin, who I’ve loved since Igby Goes Down (another movie were everyone is an asshole). But I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Funnily enough, that’s pretty much exactly why I gave up meat, though it took me awhile to actually pull the trigger. I adopted a dog, and I love him to kind of an insane degree, and one day when he was curled up against me on the couch I realized that his haunch and back leg looked a lot like the same part when I…

A commenter on Jezebel once told me that all vegetarians and vegans are militant assholes, whether they talk about their diet or not, because their choice not to eat meat makes other people feel bad about their own meat consumption. I don’t think many people would admit that, even to themselves, but I think it’s a…

Being obsessed and preachy about your diet, whatever it happens to be, is really fucking annoying, no question. But a fair number of vegetarians and vegans have started saying they eat a plant-based diet in an attempt to avoid the inevitable condescension, mocking and anger they get whenever people find out they don’t…

One time I turned on the radio and Hey There Delilah was playing. So I switched the station, and Hey There Delilah was playing. It was everywhere and it never stopped!

The Wedding Singer is great, but I was surprised by how much i enjoyed Big Daddy. It’s popcorn, obviously, but it’s fun popcorn, and I really liked the portrayal of the gay couple as well — just two perfectly normal guys who happened to be gay. No jokes about it, no weird innuendo or discomfort. That was damned…
