Yeah, Diaz seems to be the weak link in the cast so far, but I'm doing my best not to compare her too much to Burnett. Plus we've seen just a few clips from her and it's possible that the performance works better in context. Too optimistic? Probably, but I did like that line she had about getting a taste of something…

Exactly. It makes a lot of sense in a modern adaptation.

Just the other day I read about an app that reminds you to do something nice for your significant other, which seems like a little less shady of an idea. It's not that the app would do all the work for you, but just remind you to put in the extra effort yourself.

"floppy, happy, kind of boring guy who just wants to have fun and doesn't mean to hurt anyone in the process."

I guess the "submit to each other" thing could be you know, respect each other and be equally humble. But yeah, maybe we can use the thesaurus and find another word that isn't so connected with BDSM in the modern usage.

I got into a bit of trouble last month when I saw one too many "shared" articles and pictures from my mom who follows awful right-wing Facebook groups and that frustration led me to snippily reply to my mom because I just couldn't stop my fingers from typing a response (it included calling the super bowl coke…

I think it's run-off from prohibition. "Okay, you can have alcohol, but no buying it on Sunday because it's the Lord's Day!" Which is adorable when you're Catholic. But yeah, I'm in Indiana and we're a dry state on Sundays. They put a rope around the liquor sections of grocery stores and everything.

I guess the silver lining is that it's promoting men being responsible for birth control along with women? Even if it's in the bro-iest way possible.

I didn't watch this season (or any of them, actually), but I did catch the clip where the one contestant's dad pointed out that Juan Pablo was technically dating three women and the only way he'd give his blessing is if Juan Pablo came to him and specifically said that he could only see himself with the man's…

You'd think this would be an older profession at this point it's so simple!

Also why are we as a culture so ready to dismiss a female writer for taking up too much success? Why Rowling as compared to Stephen King or James Patterson or any of the male writers who have written dozens and dozens of novels that could arguably push aside new writers on the bookshelves? Not that I think this…

I was thinking the same thing! Not that anyone has the right to tell an author to stop writing because they're too successful (seriously, what the hell), but Rowling has written less than 15 books. Whereas a decade ago Futurama made this joke:

Who else is bracing themselves for the comments pointing out that "feminists are just as bad because there are mean man-hating feminists out there!"? Can't wait.

I don't think so, because those actually pro-actively fighting for the things they're talking about realize that those who fall under the MRA umbrella are batshit crazy and don't want to be associated with them.

It's a weird concession, isn't it? On the one hand, good charities getting donations is a good thing (I interned with Girls Inc. back in college, so I'm always glad to hear when they're getting support), but it can come off as disingenuous when the companies writing the checks aren't sending particularly good messages…

I tend to find the Kardashians irritating, but I really hope no one gives her crap for getting the hell out of there. The fact that her host (or whatever) kept trying to pull her away from her people is shady enough, but the man in black face ... yeah, trust those instincts Kim and GTFO of there.

I have flats that are super comfortable with cushioning. I might not walk a mile in them if I have to, but I like wearing them to my office.

Bonus points for showing the guy's bare body compared to woman's. It would have been really easy to tantalize straight male viewers with a full body shot of Keri Russell but they didn't.

I think that's the problem when there is so little representation for any one group in entertainment, whether it's black people or gay people or women or specifically black women or biracial relationships; when there is only one example of said representation, that one example represents the whole group. So with…

Also (and granted this kind of lands into sci-fi because superheroes), but they did cast a black woman for Iris West in the upcoming Flash series and her love interest is going to be played by a white man. Surprisingly, I've actually heard the theory that you're more likely to see a bi-racial relationship on TV where…
