And yet all the other states did. Even if it isn't a legal necessity, there is an important symbolism in doing so.  What we don't say often speak volumes louder than what we do say.

What is it with this town and Alta Vista?

I would like to cast Nick Offerman (slimmed down and  mustache-free) in this role.

I also liked it, and possibly you were the one that recommended it in one of the book threads. I know I heard about it at AV Club.

I liked it pretty well, even though I agree to a certain extent with both of your points.  I think they could have cut out some of the AGB parts, although I think in some respect it was relevant due to the lack of acceptance of new scientific thought contributing mightily to Garfield's death.  I would have preferred…

That will keep me from ever subscribing to Hulu Plus.

Oh weird - I have been listening to Beta Band a lot recently! 

I really like In The Woods as well, and I just picked up The Likeness, the second in that series.

I was in a post-doc for 8.5 years and felt like I had researched myself into a corner, if that makes sense - my research was sooooooo focused on an obscure topic I almost became unhireable.  Luckily I stumbled into a really great job working in public health (with the aid of some long-time friends who knew about the…

I started a job about 10 years ago where my first week of work where one of the women told me "you should try to be the first woman here that doesn't cry in the boss's office".  I managed to make it 8.5 years in that place without breaking down in his office, although a couple of times I barely made it to the restroom…

Glad you got to see Mangum!  I saw him last year with friends and thought about travelling to see him this year, but decided that the last time was so special that I wasn't ready to see him again so soon.

I went to a late night (well, 9:45) screening of the live action short films but had to leave half-way through because I was sooooo tired from some medication I had taken and just wasn't enjoying them.  Death of a Shadow came on first and was definitely my favorite - I also saw Henry and Curfew, but left a few minutes…

I am going to start The Magicians soon and have heard a lot of mixed things about it.

I watched Lars and The Real Girl when I was on a Paul Schneider kick, and boy was that movie so much better than I expected.  Surprisingly sweet.

Apparently the AV Club writers only pay attention to ZMF.

@avclub-e3f5ab7f02122f95b801e13e2c586d6a:disqus Hmmm - I also have friends who have left the sciences to do more creative things - music, art, etc - and that doesn't bother me at all.  I think it's the idea of selling makeup as a stereotypically female pursuit that rubs me the wrong way, not that STEM is more…

Oh God, I know so many engineers and scientists-turned MaryKay/Avon/Tupperware saleswomen it makes me sad.  And I love all the stuff, if just depresses me that that's a more satisfying or approachable in that work than the sciences.

Tubman is sexist!  Change it to Tubgirl!

Definitely my first thought, then went to Glenn Close and Helen Mirren.  Then I realized the role really is for someone younger.

Watching the videos from all the car-mounted cameras you have to wonder how people didn't feel like they were under attack.
