Clearly Time is just trying to drive traffic and get attention which has been successful. But they could have picked on something much less cynical. Like banning cat videos. Which of course I'm totally against but I'm just saying it could have driven traffic without shitting on feminism.

But this is a thing in the food industry. Some foods are supposed to have specific ingredients to qualify as that food. Like Sabra is suing to require that any product labeled "hummus" include chick peas and tahini. So if "mayonnaise" is defined by the FDA as having eggs, then a product can't call itself "mayo" and…

I don't know that one. Is it Canadian (based on a maple leaf logo at the end)? What's nice about it, is that you don't need to make any changes at all for it to work.

Time to update this classic:

I think this headline is so unfortunate. The issues this article raises are fascinating and well argued, but here's a case where click-bait headlines, rather than drawing people to the article, just set readers up to hate it, no matter how well argued its points are. I had a similar reaction to Ta-Nahesi Coate's…

62 isn't almost dead.

Actually 30, but a fair point.

Is Zork OK?

Thank you for the thoughtful response. I would never feel comfortable characterizing a 7 year old's actions as abuse and as I haven't read the book either, I don't know how old she was when all those other events happened. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that there's actually a wide range of behaviors that…

I see your point, but I have a lot of trouble labeling a 7 year old as an abuser and interpreting her narrative through that lens.

Holy shit. I thought it was only the pebble story. That is some very bizarre behavior and maybe a developmental psychologist could convince me it still within the range of normal but to not include it in a defense of Dunham is totally irresponsible.

Yes. There are 1 year olds who could do that. But if you were to ask me which is the more likely scenario: a 1 year old putting pebbles in her vagina immediately followed by the moment a 7 year old coincidentally decided to look at her sister's vagina OR a 7 year old lying about having put pebbles in her 1 year old…

Jez should be able to entertain us without this particular style of commentary.

My spaciness is immortalized on the Internet.

Yes. That's what I mean. Do those shows have anything in common? Supernatural I guess. I watched neither. I do watch Nashville.

Star of the TV shows Lost and Nashville.

Haden Panettiere says that she's gained 40 lbs. throughout her pregnancy, which doesn't sound like a lot until you consider that she originally weighed about the same as a cotton ball and is only the height of a tube of chapstick. Jezebel isn't going to try to turn into a witty remark about the actress' appearance.

I'm glad she made a fuss. It sets a precedent for how other returning healthcare workers should be managed. And her treatment was just another infuriating instance of science playing second fiddle to politics and we need people to take a stand.

What is so sad is that it isn't just batshit attention seekers who think this way. There are men (and women) who earnestly think that there's no problem with catcalling, as long as the "gentleman" isn't using vulgar language. That telling a complete stranger that's she's beautiful while she's just trying to get to…

People aren't contagious if they are asymptomatic. If they are asymptomatic they shouldn't be quarantined. Asking someone who has had contact with Ebola patients to be vigilant about checking her temperature and checking in with authorities is reasonable. But any other restrictions are a rejection of science in favor…
