The Rihanna-Drake story sounds like it's straight out of a wacky romcom. "Oh no, what are we going to do?! ... Quick, give me that fur! I'll make a beard!"

Yes, let's take away just a little more of a woman's humanity. She's not a person anymore, she's just the host for a baby that our government wants to bring into the world but then will do nothing to help said new person avoid poverty and hunger.

At least we don't need to hear him use "My wife is cool with it" as a reason why what he does is feminism?

There are some Gawker/Jezebel/io9 articles where I just go to the comments to make sure someone has posted the appropriate pop culture jpg/gif. Five minutes ago it was Bender the robot in an io9 article about bending machines. And now it's making sure someone mentioned the Bluths here. You did not disappoint.

I try not to give into schadenfreude when it comes to something like this because that would be cruel ... however, the fact that this is the same guy who used "It's okay, my wife was cool with it" to excuse some of his scummier behavior this past year, I am very tempted to throw a little schadenfreude in his general…

I came here just to make sure someone posted a Bender reference.

I didn't say YOU were. I'm saying I'm seeing a lot of people reverting to 80s-style patriotism where Russia is for NOT FREEDOM and America is for FREEDOM. If you're not doing that, then you're not included in that group.

"Subhuman mongrel" is a streetfighter term?

Well ... shit. There goes my silver lining about this mess right out the door!

It amazes me that we just got out of an Olympics where a good portion of our general pro-nationalism propaganda was "USA! USA! Yeah, suck it freedom-hating Russians!" and yet you don't have to look very far at all to see just how much our country is sucking in protecting the basic rights of its own citizens.

I've made a point of keeping the word bitch out of my vocabulary as much as possible the past few years because gendered insults drive me crazy. I totally get the "reclaiming" of the word and I occasionally use it ironically, but in general it ends up feeling to me like I'm helping keep the negativity surrounding…

Unlike Morgan, at least Jean-Ralphio knows his faults ... and explains them in singsong.

Oh god, that's the WORST thing you can be!

I mean, I liked it a lot. It has some fun dynamics with the actors and a few scenes were genuinely hilarious. But I don't think it deserves a lot of the accolades it's been getting. Of the cast nominated, the only one that I think really deserves it is Amy Adams. Jennifer's character is written so ridiculously over…

As Takei says, this ultimately won't pass. Which just means that politicians are wasting their citizens' time and money pushing these laws that only cause gay people more worries about their personal safety and freedom and makes bigoted people feel more justified in their hate. Instead of working to pass laws that…

Or maybe Lupita won't replace her and instead be her own thing in our hearts.

I actually think her role in American Hustle didn't have enough meat to be nominated this year. I enjoyed the hell out of it, but she only had a handful of scenes and she was mostly there to be comic relief.

I mean, why not just put yourself into an actual coma if you want to be the most like an inanimate object?

I came to the article just to point this out.
