That’s so fucking annoying, getting a targeted ad and realizing you actually have some interest in it. It freaks me out a little!

I would second that sentiment, I have an aunt who was evaluated and diagnosed as Munchausen By Proxy. She has THREE kids, and one was almost done with high school by the time she was diagnosed. It’s likely she was standard Munchausen if she would have been diagnosed before kids, and transferred that attention seeking…

The article goes into this better than I can, but, essentially, doctors usually operate on the assumption that a parent is telling the truth about symptoms- and because Muchausen by proxy people usually have a medical background and are very good at regurgitating the right language, and really good at appearing…

Yes, obviously, murder is not a good thing, but how can this woman be held to the same standard as someone of sound mind who had a relatively normal upbringing? Most of us would know we had other options. Did she? Did she fully comprehend that she had legal options, given her upbringing, and the physical/mental…

I’m going to have to disagree with you on that one. It sort of justifies it. I’m not saying she should go free, but 10 years sounds about right to me

I read the piece by Buzzfeed the other day. Although quite a long article, I was stricken and gob smacked at what this young woman went through during her childhood into adulthood. It doesn’t justify what she did but what does it say about society that she thought this was her only way out.

Psht this is ridiculous. I know someone who is hyperandrogenic with PCOS and she struggled with weight and being active in general. Maybe she’s way below someone like Sememya’s levels but it’s not like more testosterone makes you an instant athletic machine.

Yeah, no. Nature gives certain people advantages in certain tasks. I could have trained from birth and I’d still never be as fast as Sharp, let alone Semenya. Sometimes life is unfair. I feel for Sharp, and for all athletes who get to that level and realize they still can’t be the best, but that’s how competition…

I feel like the Deadspin article a few days ago about gender testing was equal parts informative and disturbing. I can’t imagine what it feels like to be subjected to such invasive testing, especially because Semenya has not done anything wrong either.

I’m just going to go on record that my drawing contribution when Gabrielle asked us to draw her like one of our french girls was criminally underappreciated.

not surprising. have you SEEN him in “seven days in hell”?

Commentator, in crisp English accent: Folks at home may be asking themselves, “How will he finish?” And, well, Depends.

It’s not even clickbait really, it’s just a joke/trolling depending on your perspective. Predominately Jez conducts this kind of articles to demonstrate a point that so many men simply leap to defend a status quo against a perceived ‘militant feminist’ without stopping to think ‘it’s probably just a joke, carry on’.

Obligatory, my family legend involving unattended pot brownies:

I’m a little surprised to be feeling so much “Nope” over this.

I have a Pavlovian response to hearing about A Star is Born and watching this:

I read a review of Amy’s book today: apparently at age 10, her dad was diagnosed with MS, and three years later, her mom confessed to Amy that she was having an affair with Amy’s best friend’s dad. Amy had to comfort her mom!

Poor Adrienne Curry doesn’t understand what Photoshop means unless she’s shooting these pictures on actual film?

Question: has there ever been a cooler album cover than Neko Case’s Middle Cyclone?

Speaking on behalf of millions of depressives: shut the fuck up, LaToya.
