I would bet cash money that many a successful model has had laser hair removal and doesn't bother with it anymore. Kind of like being prepared for the job the same way I would, I don't know, invest in a good pant suit or something.

A) This isn't about you, unless you're the type of person who feels like shit about yourself when your partner succeeds. In which case, therapy.

In case we still needed definitive proof that Gwyneth didn't deserve the Oscar...

I was definitely uncomfortable with him calling the white guys by their last names, and the black guys by their first names. It just stood out to me.

And yet, she's made Connie Britton's character boring and insufferable in what appears to be a bid to keep her likeable.

And now I love it more.

I love this comment with all my being.

Income disparity is strongly correlated to basically every negative health, education, and employment/economic outcome possible. I just got off a conference call with my national partner discussing the growing achievement gap (as measured by 4th grade reading proficiency) between low and high income children. Reading…

That's still not an actual controlled study; it's still a review of stuff that's already happened. And there's no clear evidence that they controlled for confounding variables, e.g. income, race/ethnicity, family structure, etc. Yes, they address some of the variables and attempt to control them, but it's still not a…

They do!

Of course! And what you described just now is called correlation. This was not a study, it was a records review. It's great that this is the direction in which the info is pointing, but it's not enough to claim a "direct effect."

SERIOUSLY.

Seriously. This is a records review. It is not a study. There are so many issues saying it "directly reduced" teenage pregnancy, including the factor you've mentioned here. Unless they controlled for per capita income ...

Oh, science writing on Jezebel. There is no evidence for a "direct effect." This was a post-hoc review of records, not a controlled study. This is correlation, not causation. Which is great, but again, there is zero evidence that Teen Mom directly reduced teen pregnancy and/or birth.

Alright, alright, alright.

I don't like the style, but I really think it's who she is. Her sister also has a kind of mumsy style. I think it's just them, for realsies.

It's very this but I still think she looks good in it.

Massively late to the party, but cider and a block of gruyere cheese. My night cheese, because Tina Fey.

I'm with you. I'm 29, I live in the South, and men aren't really shocked that I know and love sports. Obsession with the SEC is basically inherited 'round these parts, regardless of gender.

That would be the most perfect thing to ever happen to Facebook.
