Screw that, I cling bravely to several pairs of cargo pants, even though one has an enormous rip in the knee. Comfort and pockets for life. Down with jeggings!

Clickbait! There is nothing to get. Someone got a teapot and decided to accessorize it with a tempest.

Stand your ground, dudes. Don't give in to the pocketless curse.

Sanford! I'm glad to see they have some economic activity beyond IRS and credit card scams.

Team Nobody. 😐

One possibility is the lack of agency in the procedurals: you have an abused corpse and a team of men ( usually) who run around catching the killer and getting justice. If the victim survives, she is maybe 30 seconds of screen time. There is no person, just a victim. In GOT and Outlander, the victims are also people.

I did the same with the Outlander books. Put me in the “glad they changed Poldark” group. What the article didn’t go into detail about was that until recently, the book’s version was a common romance trope. Romance, not horror. Because she got to be a “good woman” by refusing, while also having her deep,dark…

They will be jealous that we all had live in maids to keep it clean.

My takeaway is that with a few tweaks each of these rooms is actually quite nice.

This is the frustration that Clarence Thomas has alluded to: because he is black, people assume he is less qualified and his achievements are due to his race, rather than his skill.

I reject the premise of number 5 because Julia Stiles seems awesome.

She was being blackmailed. She had multiple nervous breakdowns. While the women she procured certainly have a cause for complaint with her, I think the rest of us should back off and offer our unconditional compassion. She is a victim. She may also be a perpetrator, but she is a victim.

Yay I am so happy for you. Swimming is awesome, and the best, happiest sound of summer is kids playing at the pool.

Which is frustrating because this is the most sensible approach. But there is no limit to the greed and corruption of the IOC.

Nope, close but no cigar. I appreciate that their stance is more coherent than the typical fetus fetishist, but they lose me at making abortion illegal, or even merely difficult.

DADT gets pilloried now but it was a substantial step in the right direction.

Yep and Good Wife, too. Ripped from the headlines of not very long ago, at all.

It's the latter. We are attuned to them and therefore these stories get eyeballs, so we get more of them therefore we are more attuned. 20 years ago the story would not have made it out of Japan.

I remember reading about this about 10-15 years ago, so this is a fuzzy memory. There is a school of thought in the deaf community that lip reading, learning to verbalize, etc are forms of erasure of the deaf and place a burden on the deaf person to accommodate the hearing. There was also an aspect of the argument…

Who are the people who watched/read about this convention and said to themselves, “Yup, that’s my guy!” (Finger guns optional).
