I got a snuggie today. Okay, an off-brand snuggie.

I'm willing to pop out a few in the name of patriotism or whatever if I can get a job that includes maternity leave and child care. A subsidized stay-at-home dad would be super, but I'll accept a dude who will do around half the work. Um, neither of these is anywhere near happening to me.

While I understand the agony of needing to pee and not being able to find somewhere to do it, people do some shady business in Starbucks bathrooms.

You're not supposed to tell! If anyone finds out about the ladies only sexual harassment victim casting calls, where will the liberal conspiracy megalith get its funding? Each accusation nets you a billion gazillion dollars, respect for privacy, and the unconditional love and acceptance of the public. Sweet deal!

This is actually a much more worthy topic of conversation. Is it bad that I watched that movie and took "Lives in garage and suffers crippling social anxiety" off my list of dating red flags? Damn you, Gosling!

Ha! I wouldn't dream of comparing the sweetly weird Lars/Bianca relationship to Kim's publicity stunt. It would be an insult. I'm just concerned about her insensitively appropriating real doll culture with her makeup mask.

Same. I finally backed off of it a little because it just gives me sicky feelings. The one good thing is that there's pretty much a consensus (at least, outside of Penn State) on the whole thing being supremely fucked up, and that a lot of people need punished. I hope it's laying the groundwork for better victim…

I think it's pretty anti-feminist to suggest that modern women (or feminists) don't value love, or that they don't think any women would or should choose love or family over a career or freedom. That's pretty much the opposite of feminism, since it's about equality and choice. I suppose Bella is making a choice, in a…

There have to be. Given the serious underreporting of sexual abuse, likely even worse for men, if you get EIGHT victims (or 7, since I think one was unidentified) to offer testimony to start out with... tip of the iceberg comes to mind. And he has such a predictable pattern.

That's interesting—I didn't know that about prostate cancer. So even if it is rising, it makes a lot more sense to invest in periodic screening than to keep all the contraceptive pee out of the sewer system? This paper is weird and I don't understand why it's getting so much attention.

I just hope she doesn't suffer the same fate as Bianca.

Short answer: yes, they do!

I'm convinced Kim is trying to become the missing link between human and real doll, so a relationship with a normalness-enabler would obviously be a problem.

Agreed on both counts. Making a joke about a woman you don't agree with politically being threatened with rape is just assholery, not humor. The problem is the rape part! So just say that! You're right! An intelligent response would have been much more effective than the sniping she decided to go with, and it…

Okay, I read the article, and here are some important points to consider.

Derp, I found it.

Has anyone been able to find the original article? The BMJ one, not the Fox News one. I'm curious about whether it was age-adjusted, among other things.

Well, if there is a relationship between estrogen in the water from birth control pills and prostate cancer, you're in trouble regardless of whether or not your wife is on them. You'll be drinking it anyway! So do what you want.

1) I want gross, drunken, manipulative Haymitch, not Heed My Words of Wisdom Haymitch. Don't screw this up, Harrelson.

I agree, and holla from Appalachia! I definitely felt that way, knowing that District 12 was analogous to Appalachia. Not a lot of people in rural Appalachia are (or present as) people of color, but they're not all blonde and blue-eyed either.
