As part of the experiment, Spurlock also stopped working out and reduced the amount he walked every day to closer match the average non NYC dwelling American, and most days he ate well above caloric excess as he ate all three meals from McDonalds and if he was offered upsize deals he said yes.

Ah yes, rape, that famously easy crime to report and successfully prosecute in a timely and trauma-free manner. 

The single “Baby One More Time” was released in 1998. You’re welcome. 

And lots of websites - even for non-chain restaurants - have times pop-ups that, you know, pop up interrupting your reading of the menu with entreaties to sign up for the VIP mailing list or make a reservation for Mother’s Day or whatever the next special day is, etc etc. 

The The Last Blockbuster Twitter account has never been less than a goddamn delight. 

For states with trigger laws and exceptions for to save the life of the mother - would this include if the pregnant person was at risk of suicide rather than having to continue the pregnancy? 

What makes it so stupid is the plans include allowance for X many devices to stream simultaneously. My sister, my parents and I all live in separate households and share the cost of the top tier which allows 4K video and up to 4 devices. I live alone, my parents never watch anything separately, the only household that…

As always, the first thing to attack a woman about when you feel she’s getting above herself is her perceived unfuckability. 🙄

I mean, a lot of the early Christian and medieval women saints in the Catholic Church were known to have pretty extreme fasting regimes, and it’s been conjectured that a lot of their divine visions and feelings of delirious ecstasy were hallucinations resulting from near-starvation.

I and two other households share the top tier Netflix plan, which has 4K and streaming on up to 4 screens. Two of us live alone, the other household is a couple. None of us would ever separately be able to take advantage of the 4 screen limit. If Netflix seriously doubles down on banning password sharing we won’t be…

Just fell down a happy Google hole trying to find out why a sandwich with Swiss cheese in it is called Cuban. Food related Google holes are my favourite. 

My egg world was changed forever the day someone told me to try hard boiled ones with celery salt instead of plain. 

*pushes up glasses* Mina and Jonathan are middle class and not super well off (she’s a governess, he’s a solicitor trying to become partners at the firm). A big part of her and upper crust Lucy Westenra’s friendship is how they’re besties even though they’re from different social classes. I know way too much about…

Obligatory post of the “Don’t Be A Lawyer” song from “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend”.

Here in Australia a popular late night drunk food is a trash plate called, depending on region, the halal snack pack or AB. It’s hot chips covered with doner kebab meat (most popular being a combination of chicken and lamb), slathered with barbecue and garlic sauce (at the very least, you can request additional…

Back in the mid 2000s Sue Perkins (host of Great British Bake Off v.1) and food critic Giles Coren did a series called The Supersizers Eat… where they ate the food of various periods of history for a week and wore funny costumes. The first season focused on British history from the Edwardian era forwards, the second…

True story: on one of the attempts at this movie that got closer to actually happening, the Top Dollar character was a woman and was going to be played by Andrea Riseborough. I THINK this was the version that Jason Momoa was attached to, and that plot wasn’t in any way closer to the original comic but was quite…

Lupita Nyong’o’s  expression behind Will Smith’s shoulder. 😂

Every professional production of West Side Story I’ve seen, it’s Anita’s show. I think “yes yes this is fine but why isn’t the show about Anita???”
