I’m pretty sure that there’s a huge overlap between people who think Baby It’s Cold Outside is problematic and people who think Blurred Lines is problematic. The difference between the two is that as a Christmas song, Baby It’s Cold Outside gets played regularly (at least during the holiday season each year), so it…

I’m the same way. I’ll look in the mirror and think I look pretty good, then go to something where a group photo is being taken, see an image of it, and wonder who the fat old stroke victim...oh my God, that’s me.

I get mistrust of the US health care system. I really do. But it wasn’t THAT long ago that childbirth was a leading cause of death for women. Forgive the expression, but don’t throw the baby out with the bathwater.

“Graphic design/designer” is the accepted form of the term in American English and has been since the term was coined in the 1920s. In fact, “graphics designer” is used by some graphic designers, including some friends of mine in the field, as a reverse shibboleth indicating that a job/contract listing doesn’t know…

I thought I was the only person that did this! My friends always (lovingly) mock me for reading the synopses of every new horror movie that comes out (plus Game of Thrones). Many a night, my husband comes home to find me staring at the screen, terrified, after reading a bunch of synopses.

Ha, I thought I was the only person who does this! I always want to know what the most popular ones are about but am too chicken to watch them. The original recap of the first Paranormal Activity scared me so much I couldn’t walk the dogs at night for a week. THE RECAP. I have never actually seen this movie. In the…

There are the things you can make called padsicles, all my friends who gave birth vaginally swear by them. I made a dozen, stuck them in my freezer and then ended up with a C section. I was checked so often before they did the section that I was sore, I can’t imagine pushing a baby out after all those checks.

Yeah, his supporters see this as evidence that he’s SMART.

Man, I don’t get the nursing pump hate. Sure, it’s cow-like if you want to think of it that way.

It’s no Restoration Hardware. 

Through all the turmoil our government is going through right now I can’t help but fear that rather than discovering our government is filled with smart but deeply flawed, complex characters harboring dark secrets we’re finding out in real time that our country is ruled by a bunch of small, petty, greedy men just like…

Just because something’s used “in the medical community”, it doesn’t necessarily follow from that that it’s an actual term of art.

My take is: Luis (or Dave) comes looking for his Xcons ride, via lojack, and also to check on Scott after the Snapture. He finds the equipment set up and hears Scott calling for the Pyms. Scott knows enough about the set up to talk Luis/Dave thru returning him to normal size, at which point, Scott goes looking for the…

Ye’, I understand what you meant.

I get the exhaustion though. I do. Whenever I feel something, it’s not enough for me to say it. I have to convince my parents and (later) my husband that it’s true. All of them, by the way, have labeled me melodramatic. It’s never the case they’re blowing me off when I say how I feel in the first place.

How can essential public services be slashed to the bone and this kind of thing still be justified?

No wedding (foreign or domestic) would be complete without the groom’s drunk ex-girlfriend in the red dress making a statement. I think it’s the law.

Also, “I Just Can’t Wait to Be King” from The Lion King is all about Simba death upon his father.

I often wonder if a thousand year old serial killers crime scene could be falsely associated today with an entire cultures “religious practice”. It’s much like finding one skull and assuming there is an entire new branch of our family tree when it could just be a single mutation within a group. We love a good story…

It’s almost as if Johnson made a movie that had such nuance in its story, foreshadowing, and overall message coupled with it being such a long and big story, that a lot of the rage is sparked by it just being so different and people missing things.
