I'm really glad I like my parents.

Me too! I don't think of anemones when I see sheer black lingerie. What a bizarre name.

Honestly, I think it's a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation for Nicki. If she said she was a feminist, there would be "She claims she's a feminist when she does XYZ!" articles. If she said she's not a feminist, there would be "How can any woman say she's not a feminist!?" articles. Not answering seems to…

It makes me sad when celebrities don't like to identify as feminists, but at the same time I'm still really impressed with Nicki's equality-minded pickle juice rant:

I had to ask him, "isn't that the opposite of the perks of being an atheist"? If you're that into putting so much effort into NOT believing something, then I'm…

According to his facebook page, he was an anti-theist. And this was not a case of a white man hunting down brown people but an anti-theist atheist* hunting down religious people. It seems it was just easier to hunt down these particular Muslims because they wore identifiable garb. I bet if he was next to a Hasidic…

"Lumping atheists together is like lumping people who don't smoke together."

he'd posted about atheism on his Facebook page.

I did worse than all of you. I looked at it and thought "That's so ... speculum? But where's the duck-beak part?"

It took me several seconds to realize that was supposed to be "ratchet" because it looks like the Fourth Doctor's sonic screwdriver and oh my god i am such a fucking nerd

Is wacktivists a word yet? It sounds like the kind of word Rush Limbaugh would make up but I'm gonna start using it anyway.

are there serious issues with massive farming?
