Not even gonna lie, I read "guys looking for NSA action" and heard "National Security Agency action"... I'm just gonna bask in my lameness now...

STOP GOBLIN-SHAMING

No shit, the pay gap is immense. People think professors get paid so much, but that was very much a pre-recession phenomenon. Now there i increasingly a tiered system of presidents and deans, then tenured full professors, then tenured professors, then lowly adjuncts, then grad students. I've worked as an adjunct…

I don't think you actually understand what body-shaming means.

A metaphor: Your roommate brings a stray dog into your apartment , the dog takes a dump on the rug in the living room, and rather than clean up the poop your roommate gives the dog a biscuit for taking the dump. You walk through the living room as you do every morning and step in the shit. The roommate defends the…

It's not a bug, it is a feature. Will and his supporters aren't ignorant of reality, they are deliberately pushing a counter-narrative so that Conservatives and MRAs will have another column to point to as back-up for their vile views. Hi att is arguing that reasonable people disagree (for a fair and balanced…

I was thinking this morning about how many of the back stories involve some sort of addiction. I have 2 episodes left in Season 2, but Piper is addicted to Alex, Rosa was addicted to money, Morello was addicted to a man, Vee loves control, Red loves power and admiration, and on and on.

Does anyone think that her character (or acting) was sort of inspired by Didi Conn as Frenchy? The voice especially but theres something sweet and slightly frantic about her too. Aaaaand she's kinda the beauty gal on the block.

I love Jezebel and I would request that you please report on the passing of Ruby Dee today. She passed very very recently, a few hours ago I think. She and her husband Ossie Davis stood by the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. at the 1963 March on Washington and were tireless civil rights activists. And she meant alot to me.

I loved Morello's back story. It was so heartbreaking. I was a little surprised that she did actually go on a date with him though. To be honest, last season I was thinking they were going to have him be someone she saw in a magazine (or on TV or something) but never met. And then have her be a crazy stalker.

The dark is scary because the Nightman Cometh....

OH YES!!!!!!!!!!

Brilliant.

I actually do make games - and no the excuses covered there are barely legitimate. It's true they would need to re-scale the bones of the skeletal rig to fit a different proportion of character mesh, but there's no actual reason why they'd need to literally redo all the animations - perhaps a more feminine walk/run…

I was reading Hunter S Thompson's Fear and Loathing on the Campaign Trail not too long ago and what struck me was how many people he wrote about who could make a living freelancing just following stories around and how many people at the bigger papers could research a story for months before having to go to print and…

There's also some interesting commentary from a reader at TPM here: http://talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/a-gross…

Thanks for the recommendation, sounds like an interesting read! I like this metaphor of a crooked room, it sounds like it could apply to a lot of problems in the world today. And for the record, I "saw the room was crooked" before I commented/after working my way through the more informative comments on the thread.…

I grew up in CT too. It's fucking offensive that you're using the fact that you grew up near Sandyhook to bolster your point. You didn't lose a child, asshole.
