I follow a bunch of science AND gender writers/tweeters/researchers on Twitter so this is All Over My Feed last two days and there are loads of absolutely terrible takes but definitely my least favourite is Economics Bro being like “uhhh this can’t be true because pharma companies want to make money? so obvs they…

We’ve done “hear no evil,” “see no evil,” and “speak no evil.” I’m drawing a blank on the name of the movie but it’s in Canada and if you speak English you go nuts or something? Never saw it, but I remember seeing a lot of stuff about it.

Hang on! People use Tumblr for non-porn reasons?

Seriously. When you lose a major market segment, what do you do? Look for a new market segment.

I think the problem is that each HP book seemingly told a story that connected to this year to year overarching story, but they themselves weren’t necessarily beholden to fully set things up for the next book or movie. It seems like Rowling is really struggling here on how to telling a concise story in one movie…

It’s safe to say JKR’s a bit of a mixed bag, persona- and public-statement-wise. But surely she is allowed to impose consequences on someone who stole from her, and I don’t think “she has so much money, who cares about a measly five figures and a few cats” is a valid argument.

The below is from an NPR interview of commentator Aaron Freeman:

This is significant because it means that we might not have access to our true decision-making centers. IF that is the case then what we have is…

Any fan of Animaniacs should do themselves a favor and read The Toast’s “Pitch Meeting for Animaniacs.”

I grew up in the economically depressed region of Belgium, Charleroi, wallonia, (think Detroit), and this is the first of I’ve heard of Belgium being at risk of falling apart....

AN INSULT TO BELGIAN FRITES.

Pigs will fly before Belgium falls apart and the king is just a joke for most Clemish people. No big deal! I think it’s actually a wonder that Big Phil even knows about the Burger King ads....

Yeah, it’s interesting. When this started I couldn’t believe it. Putting soldiers in the streets seemed like a border crossed. But the strange thing is- You realize they are just human being doing their jobs, and in the end I watch for the police more, because they can fine me for jaywalking and these boys in green…

I’m sorry that the public education system has failed you so thoroughly.

While I agree with a lot of your points, in their defence, as to why it’s on Gizmodo, this could have been caused by a Note 7.

go fuck yourself

Sure, you can give up bacon and spare ribs and beer and sliders. But give up enough good food and you're dead inside. Is that really living?
