The funny part is how this post is using Kylie’s T&A post for the exact same reason Kylie is - attention - and somehow thinks they’re on some sort of moral high ground? Nothing interesting was actually said about it or her, other than some concern trolling answered by “She probably does yoga.” And yet this thirst trap…

I literally JUST saw that headline about languishing on social media and just rolled my eyes (sorry, I didn’t read the article!!!). There is for sure power in naming and describing an experience/ emotion/ thought pattern, but DANG I hate that use of second person. Like, “yes YOU feel bad, and it’s grief.” or “YOU are…

Yes, you’re right.  The amount of alarm a positive result causes, even if it turns out to be negative, varies by the individual.  In my case, I’d still rather have a false positive than either a false negative or a missed diagnosis due to a skipped test.  I wish there was something that worked 100% for everyone.

They do look at more than just the cost over cancer costs. They also look at whether or not it saves lives and so far it hasn’t. We’ve put a lot more women through a lot more invasive procedures to determine whether something is cancer or not and woman are dying of breast cancer at the same rates as before we started…

I mean, I’d be happy to be wrong — and if you turned out to be right here, it’s not like I’d be blown over with surprise. That said, I’d also be happy if overwhelming public support for whatever policy played more of a hand in guiding Senate Republicans’ actions, but it seems like the only thing Republicans care about…

Tig fuels big rig in zombie gig!

Um, did you read the articles you are linking? These aren’t screenings at colleges. The website clearly says they are virtual, and the only affiliated organizations are the hosting private interest groups and Focus Features. Other than being geared toward college students, there’s no indication that this is affiliated…

Truly an obnoxious and inappropriate headline to this article. As a physician in Breast Imaging, I can tell you that we are seeing this on a daily basis, but it has not led to SINGLE unnecessary biopsy on any patient. This has been seen with other vaccinations, such as influenza, but not to this degree. At worst it…

While I’m normally all about the gendered biases in medicine, this articles seems a little excessive, given that we are learning, literally in real time, about both the coronavirus and Covid, and the vaccines. A year ago people were wiping down their mail or quarantining their packages. We only learned of efficacious…

“What’s Google? Sounds boring!”

this is the new thing on here, people being proud of their pop-cultural ignorance on a pop-culture website

Who? This article assumes we know who Scott Rudin is, what he does, and where those employees were employed.

Yeah, the comment on the ethics really baffled me. It’s not like the study authors recruited a bunch of twins and then instructed their parents to use corporal punishment on one and not the other. That would be an unethical study. Analyzing data from a resource that is available for research purposes is not. You’d…

I’ve been on this site for over a decade, and one thing that never changes, no matter the editor-in-chief or the writers is its scientific illiteracy.

Uh, wow, this started as a somewhat wordy-academic criticism of the privileged understructure of the “cancel culture” nonsense and then veered way off into WTF-land. Yes, professor, you sure do have some impressively daring if ridiculous views on queer theory and neoliberalism! I hope your podcast benefits!

Not only is this an inaccurate metaphor, it’s also highly uncreative.

Thank you! As a 90's kid from SoCal, I found myself getting worked up about this. Another moment of unfunny, unnecessary snark diminishing women from Joan.

Maybe Gwen was on Disney shows as a kid?

Fey has a crippling sense of imposter syndrome and Poehler has no problem with being an objectionable person in the room.  Rudolph is very much the ‘pretty and fun woman at the party’ type.  She’s just naturally affable.  I don’t really get the point of trying to shove uncomfortable ‘bitch’ roles onto somebody who…

She’s an example of somebody who’s just genuinely that enjoyable off camera that she can just do what she wants on. She knows her lines, hits her mark, and is just generally charismatic. She doesn’t need to play unlikable or have obvious foibles.
