Yeah, somehow I got the idea that she wanted people to look at and admire her body. Maybe it was the way she threw off her coat and walked provocatively, hips a-swivel in front of a crowd and a recording camera. I think it was a stupid statement to make if one wants to keep one’s gravitas, but I don’t think Don was in…

I am a fat (not too old, yet) lady that does aqua classes. This summer I hurt my leg and started to use a cane. I decided that mobility was important to me to maintain and starting looking for some exercise I could do to address the injury and maintain/improve my mobility. I stumbled into the therapy pools at my local…

I guess Spade likes his politicians to do all their television work before and/or after their political stints. Reagan and Schwarzenegger and Sonny Bono and I don’t know how many other famous people worked as politicians, that doesn’t bother him, even though one might wonder what previous work experience some of these…

That can be nothing but an ad. This doesn’t preclude her from being an actual fan. Also, does showcasing hosiery automatically require toplessness? I ask based on my years of looking at pantyhose ads in magazines.

Neither does it look like a baby. It looks like a small adult, that is bald.

I love the part where she says she continues to study (but she doesn’t say what), and cites WorldStarHip Hop as a source.

Wouldn’t inclement weather make you put on clothes, not take them off?

I am from a country in South America and of indigenous descent. I pass for white and (for the most part) silently accept the privileges that come with that. However, I once mentioned that I was from SA (not even my indigeneity) to someone I had known for years. She gasped, opened her mouth in shock and said to me in a…

I am from Canada, and as far as a I know every province and territory requires drivers to have proof of insurance before they can get plates/sticker renewal. Are you saying that there are states that do not require drivers to have insurance before they drive? That sounds so dangerous, especially where there is no…

I agree, it is a little too subtle. And, the fact that we live in a society that regularly sexualizes very young people makes this article read less like satire. Swift’s proposal was funny because what he was suggesting was utterly ridiculous. But, looking to an adolescent sexually is done routinely (still not…

I heard a segment on This American Life’s “Status Update” show about the widespread use by loan repayment companies to sue people for even small amounts of money and then garnish their wages. The reporter who did the leg work for the piece wrote an excellent article about it https://www.propublica.org/article/debt-c… .

That is Lik-M-Aid’s Fun Dip, my friend. And, yes, I do remember it.

Yeah, cause we all know how effective weight loss is, and even more, how useful it is targeting weight loss to certain parts of the body. Good try at being a bitch, though.

The lead singer’s nickname “The Devil”...

One of my all time faves. Have you seen the UK version? Also excellent with a great cast.

I understand where you are coming from. While I think it is beneficial to have influential women speak publicly about their experiences, especially ones that have stigma attached, I am a little doubtful about the picture being painted here. While I am certain part of the absolute glowing rosiness of the picture being…

Whispering “Lady Danger” by MAC. You need this lipstick. It makes you look as dangerous as you feel.

Exercising and eating in a way that makes you feel good and improve/maintain health is a very different thing than trying to change your body to meet ideals set by arbitrary others. She is not discouraging self-care, only an idiot would do that.

On the whole, I applaud your curiosity. I wish it could be the Canadian fur trade. Will he be a coureur des bois, will he work for the Hudson’s Bay Company, will he help spread disease to indigenous people? All up for grabs. My lack of knowledge about the American fur trade is vast in depth and breadth. Judging from…

Right, right. Education. That’s the only reason I’m interested, too. I am never in favour of censorship. We have to face the naked truth. I am girding my loins.
