It’s not just that they lured Cecil out of the park that’s horrendous, but that (according to the original Gawker post iirc), Dr Dickbag shot Cecil with an arrow, then “hunted” him for 40 fucking hours before finally shooting him with a rifle. That lack of empathy and compassion for living things and the use of pain…

Waterproof mascara, sunscreen, lip balm, and a little lip balm-sized jar of coconut oil. Anything else is situation-specific.

Starred not just for appropriate response to butter-flavoured bullshit, but for correct use of “myriad”.

Cider, gin, and white wine in summer; cider, Jameson (never an issue thank god), and red wine in winter. Alllllllll class, baby.

if the Glutenberg blonde is ice cold and you chug it, it tastes slightly less like soap. Otherwise yeah, Omission when I can find it, or try not to turn into a ridiculous cider snob (I do like cider though so it’s not all bad, it’s just nice to feel “normal” sometimes)

Right? The second looked at everything I loved in the first, which was all the stuff that’s super unusual in a big hollywood action film, and did the exact opposite of it all. And the third was just like... let’s take something that has some amazing sound possibilities and then just make it all super, super loud so we…

Well, I loved the first, hated the second, and thought the sound editing and mixing were piss fucking poor in the third, so I’m partly with you. But totally seeing the fourth anyhow.

Be that as it may, it’s the only bullshit that doesn’t curdle into a sponge-like mass in my coffee, no matter how gently I heat it first, and as such it will always have a place in my fridge. And I say this as someone who makes her own almond milk for smoothies and cocoa.

Fabric softener is especially bad for any lululemon-type wicking fabrics, since it blocks the pores and makes the clothes not only retain stink but no longer be wicking and breathable, which is the entire point of spending that much money on fucking leggings. No idea what vinegar would do to the lycra though, but…

I am SO GLAD someone else in the world knows about this <3

I don’t know that it’s entirely irrelevant though. I’ve noticed Pinkham being pretty dickish at commenters he doesn’t agree with, especially when they’re calling him on some bullshit, and I think it speaks to the overall tone and direction the more recent cohorts of GM writers have been taking. Deeply tangential, yes.…

I’ve been sitting at my desk for literally 11 hours and not a scrap of work has been done. Nothing written, nothing read, nothing. In the meantime I’m a month from needing to have two publishable articles and a series of appendices completed, and have a progress meeting with my supervisor Monday and feel like zero…

I suggested to a friend the other day that Obama and Harper just need to trade places. It’d be a better fit for both, and everyone would just all-around be much happier.

I went two years in similar circumstances, going outside at 2am on weeknights in winter to ring downstairs for five minutes until he heard the bell and grunted at my requests to please turn it down. You’d think a drug dealer would have enough self-interest to not force my hand like that, but once I got fed up and…

THANK YOU. I literally came here to see if anyone else caught that, it’s one of my pet peeves.

Wait wait wait. It exists in a form *other* than book?

The best kind, I think.

omg that URL, I’m dying

Among so very many other things, they charge business and events for coverage, use bully tactics to impose such “deals”, don’t actually visit many of the places they review, steal photographers’ work and neither credit nor pay, spread false clickbaity rumours, and are really just clueless about absolutely everything.…
