God, I cried just reading the article, before I got to the video. Poor girl. Good on Florence Welch.

No. Fuck make-up, and fuck anyone who tries to say it’s some fundamental part of the female experience.

Assisted suicide here would be under conditions of economic coercion, and yes, I believe that is immoral. We need a find a way to make medication affordable to the people who need it.

I feel like there aren’t a whole lot of things that make a plane disappear at 37,000 feet.

After watching that, I have decided that Jimmy Fallon is a mostly good person.

I was always meta-amused by La Boheme, where Mimi sings these beautiful arias as she is dying of a debilitating lung disease.

I think this is incorrect. Parental rights can be voluntarily terminated if both parents agree to the terms.

It does look bad, which is a little sad for me, because I think there is some EXCELLENT comedy to be mined from the modern “Mom World”. The car seat wars, the humble bragging, the snide conversations about how “there’s nothing wrong” with doing a sport “just for fun” if you aren’t “up to team level competition.” The…

I caught Bring it On on basic cable the other day. They bleeped out “retarded” but didn’t censor “bitch”. Times have changed since I was in high school.

Thirty years ago, “Mentally Retarded” was considered a new, sensitive, modern term for people with intellectual disabilities.

I just tried to picture him and Sofia Vergara naked together because I’m shallow like that and I think I just burst a brain vessel. Some things are too amazing for the human mind to imagine, I suppose.

I was actually a little surprised at how tame some of it was? I think part of it is that I work in a male-dominated field, and I just was watching this movie thinking that a lot of the talk actually seemed pretty mild. Which made me wonder if I was tolerating too much at work, or if some workplaces have different…

I’m in the Army and we have mandatory urinalysis tests. I have no problem with cops or politicians being required to do the same.

Maybe if she does some old and then some new tricks.

I know that’s the logical response, but drug addicts aren’t known for their logic.

I will let her entertain me.

I have never seen a Henry Moore statue that I liked. I’m convinced he’s the Emperor’s New Clothes of sculptors.

One of the most horrifying parts of belonging to “Mommy” groups on Facebook is seeing the sheer number of people who ask for referrals to naturopaths, chiropractors, or “vax-friendly” doctors. This stuff is shockingly common.
