As long as we're being pedantic... the definition of the word 'weightless' is almost exactly what you just described. It doesn't actually mean "without weight".

I'm not a lamppost buddy; what are you, blind?

Is that YOU, mom?

The above is a cautionary tale, because it's not uncommon for those who think that diets have an "end." In fact, most people who lose weight return to their pre-diet weight within three years.

I dropped 60 lbs a couple years ago, got down to around 159. I'm not tall but even this weight is just too low and I've since gone back up to about 179. That said, my cardio is excellent and I lift weights so most of the 20 lbs is muscle and water—not fat. Why am I telling anyone this...because too many people get…

By their logic, "halfs" would have no country they could represent at all.

The difference between Sleeping Beauty and Maleficent is that the original audience for Sleeping Beauty had probably already read at least one version of the classic story, so they were going in to see a movie where they could fill in the gaps of the story.

Early gif party!

I don't think I've ever seen two words put together that equal a total crock of shit more than "heritage sports."

To simply assume that without nuance or question is the problem, but it seems willfully obtuse to me to act like any of those trends are simply coincidences. You shouldn't just look at something and think, "Oh, I can't dig into this, that's racist/sexist", you should ask why that's the case, and wonder if it's a…

A talk I did last month for the London occult bookshop Treadwells, on SF's influence on paganism, was video'd and released Friday: tragically, the day Nimoy died (there's a fair bit of Trek and IDIC in there).

Finally got around to starting/half-finishing a piece of beadwork that had been in my head for a while. It's gotten more complete since I took this a couple weeks ago. Any input will be greatly appreciated.

I´m drawing some vintage superheroes so I don´t lose the habit... http://superherofirst.tumblr.com/

Stripping the stairs in my 109 year old, "new" home. No less than six coats of paint, plus stain. It's so thick the detail underneath was hidden to the point that it's been a pleasant surprise to discover. Lots of hours left to go.

Ok, I'm going to regret this, but here's the deal: If you're that insecure about your masculinity that you need the writer to add some empty caveat that "Ok, not ALL guys are like this, but..." then you need to re-examine yourself. I too am an older guy. I'm married. I have a seven-year-old daughter. And I can say,…

Some of the more recent portrayals of Aquaman since the decades old Superfriends. I loved that show as a kid and even kind of enjoy it now, but seriously how do you see that one show and not even be aware of everything since?

Thank you for that.

Also, twelve hours and everyone is in the grey. I realise most of America aren't up yet, but damn, it sucks when you want to be part of a community that's mostly deaf to you. And I never once suggested you work at home with Google.

Agreed.
