Just rewatched the season of New Girl where she guest stars, and she’s honestly great on it. Her comic timing and screen presence was solid. And yeah, Jennifer’s Body is entirely underrated. 

If you aren’t going to write about her, then don’t write about her at all. Don’t use her name and picture to talk about how it’s not worth mentioning that she’s making holocaust comparisons in a time of rising antisemitism. Because all you’ve done is mention her and include her picture, without adequately calling out

Okay, a couple of things. While there has been speculation about this subject, Michael Phelps himself has denied that he has Marfan Syndrome with test results supporting him on that. Additionally even if Phelps has the visible symptoms of the syndrome, it has been pointed that it is very unlikely that he could compete

Yeah, Jez isn’t the best at science writing these days.

You do realize these are loans, right?

There seems to be a part missing to this story, which also seems unnecessarily, well, mean, just because these folks were entertainers.

Theirs is a superficial attempt at journalism, with a superficial relationship to its norms and jargon.

The only “requirement of her job” is to play tennis- not to be antagonized by someone who is not in her high pressure position and can freely provoke her for a soundbite.

Stripping someone of their vows was virtually impossible, without an act by the Pope. And taking away their power extremely rare. And “answering to the bishop if he happened to care,” is a lot different than “the nuns were all slaves and handmaidens,” which was how this conversation got started.

Is that to the first sentence or the second?

No she didn’t. Functionally, the management of the convent was in the hands of the abbess and her subordinates. I mean, Chaucer even jokes about it.

Where did you get the idea that it’s “usually women” who are excommunicated?

None of that is really related to culthood, though. Except arguably for the position of the Pope, but even that is massively watered-down compared to an actual cult.

Or, instead of thinking of this action as something she can “afford” to do one could see it as her acting and displaying the judgment she’s expected to do? He has stakeholders and she has stakeholders and different levels of responsibility, this is more or less the process. His rhetoric, her rhetoric, as well as ours
