“We hunt animals, we traffic them, we herd them, we breed them, we invade their territory and pay the price, but we don’t go to war with them. If that was the case, we’d have lost that war a long time ago.”

Let’s be honest, the NFL excuse makes it easy to say no and not have to play with Maroon 5.

Why is Uranus orbiting on its side?

Lauren Kraus, Geoff Marcy and now, Tyson. Astrophysicists tend to be nerds that go googly eyed when they get some power over women. Einstein, Richard Feynman and even Stephen Hawking were known sexual harassers too.

“All I said was that I wanted to explore Uranus.”

I think the MST3K mantra applies here.

Speaking as a psychologist and suicide researcher, I strongly encourage you to look at more of the literature on this topic. Suicide contagion is real and there is absolutely a valid reason to be concerned about this show’s portrayal of suicide. The show was given suggestions by experts to mitigate risk and it ignored…

Yeah, the study has its limitations and people should absolutely take it with a grain of salt. But suicide contagion is real and widely studied, and yes, a TV show romanticizing suicide can absolutely inspire kids to act on their ideation. (As many psychologists warned Netflix before and during the making of the show,…

You know, if you want to make a point about moral panics and art you might be better off focusing on a hysterical parenting blog instead of carefully structured, peer reviewed research that is careful to not draw causal links or broad conclusions. And the blog you link to with a summary of the findings uses much more…

I remember seeing a teenage suicide counselor on a TV special about the topic once. She said that she and her organization were very reluctant to be on the show, and even to support the dialog, because research showed that even just talking about suicides with teens tends to lead to spikes in instances. (Mind you this…

Actual medical professionals disagree with you.

“The cherry on top is the game’s price of $19.82, which would’ve been a clever allusion to the supposed year that the millennial generation begins—if only it weren’t off by a year.”

It was pretty good the way you subtly referenced the millennial lack of a sense of humour.

ITT: Millennials acting like they’re the first people to ever have to face crushing student loan debt, disruptive technology, and a crap economy and job market while being condescended to by previous generations.

The only appropriate millennial response to this will be to call it racist and sexist.

“She was a punk”

It’s been a long time since I read or saw Snow White, so maybe I’m wrong, but in at least some iterations doesn’t the prince know about the whole “true love’s kiss cures her” thing? Or he thinks she’s dead, and it’s a bit like the R’hllorian funereal rites. It’s still not a great story, in that Snow White herself…

Ok, guys, enough with this: The Prince and Snow White fell in love in the beginning of the movie. When Snow runs off after the Huntsman lets her go, The Prince doesn’t know about the Queen’s plan and goes looking for her. During his search, the Evil Queen poisons Snow.

I always try to explain to people that Robyn was like the beta-test version of Britney/Mandy Moore/Jessica Simpson/etc., and they always look at me like I’m crazy. Does nobody remember “Do You Know (What It Takes)“?

“Alec Baldwin joins Joker, possibly as a Donald Trump-inspired version of Thomas Wayne”

We got a regular Jessica Fletcher over here.
