It says quite a bit about medicine in the 60s that the categories you invented were entirely believable as being part of the study.

I am sad to see that that Nothing Else To Do In A Small Town was not mentioned, as that is the leading cause of promiscuity in rural communities.

I bet that guy had absolutely no idea what "skinny" meant and he'd just heard people saying it in the queue in front of him and thought he'd try it out. Maybe it'd get him a slimmer cup? Or a little pixie that hides in the foam and takes away all the calories? Who knows! What a time to be alive (and stupid).

Sometimes Twitter IS perfection.

As I've said: So what if someone means well but doesn't quite articulate her idea as well as she might when the entire world is watching? Gotta find outrage somewhere.

I wasn't watching it on the tv, but it seems from this clip that people were just trying to let them speak? Probably also one of those times where people are like 'wait if I clap when he says there are a lot of black men in jail will people think I'm all about mass incarceration of black men?' Like when someone you…

he's so passionate and eloquent, and that combination is powerful.

Double gossipy, because Emma Thompson and Greg Wise, as well as Ruskin and Millais. Thanks for mentioning this. I did not know about this film, but can't wait to see it.

I'm not going to tell that story. YOUR LOSS.

PS: Rekha avatar!! So many levels of WIN!!

any and all references to Ruskin will be promoted.

this is really funny because of all the right wing hindu extremists banning homosexuality bc it's 'against Indian culture' when gay orgies are almost like the distinguishing features of our temple sculptures.

trust me, everybody finds a way

lol when my favourite art history prof retired we commissioned a close up photo realism pencil sketch of barberini's faun's junk and an engraved flask full of whiskey. Rankings should seriously do the best packages of art history. There's a lot to pick from.

As an art historian, these photos make me want to punch her in the face.

My name is Brandy Foster. I graduated from Wright State and am now faculty there, and I find it unfair that the university is being labeled racist and insensitive due to a crap decision made by our food service sub-contractor. Wright State is incredibly inclusive and champions diversity—that same day that the…

"Nailed it."

Serve your soft boiled egg in your ramen and turn your bowl of zero into a bowl of hero.

I never tried it on scratches but as I recall, the advice for sore nipples about leaving a coating of breast milk on them and leaving them uncovered worked pretty well.
