Nope. Also, I didn’t know “Feel it Still” was Portugal, The Man. I’d just heard the song and the band name in separate contexts because I rarely listen to the radio. But Portugal. The Man. is literally the worst, most ostentatiously obnoxious band name I’ve ever heard.

Well. I never. Perhaps your little attitude will just have to be... corrected. I feel a royal tantrum coming on. Heads WILL ROLL I say.

Yes! Katherine is the best name! It’s solid and traditional, but has 50 billion nicknames/alternate spellings so you can totally make it match who you are! As a holder of said name, I use one version professionally, one socially, and one with my ride or die people. (In other words, it’s great for people who…

Katherine?!? As a celebrity baby name? How.... quaint! I love it!

Kat Kaling. Great name. They are going to have so much fun together! After the baby starts sleeping and before she is in middle school.

I liked Feel it Still too, until it was on the radio every 5 seconds. I also kind of like Swish Swish. It’s pretty catchy, and is the kind of song I can put on while running.

Angela Merkel’s fairly conservative, all things being equal (I believe she voted against same-sex marriage...), but she’s still a badass who stands up to both Trump and Putin, on the regular.

I finally got around to reading Atwood’s Alias Grace and my God, can that woman write a beautiful, engrossing, powerful book. She is a treasure.

Can we have like a week where the Housewives and the Kardashian-Jenners aren’t a thing on this site? Like one week instead of discussing them for “pop culture” we spotlight awesome lady centric podcasts, comedians, etc?

I’ve met Atwood twice at book signings this year and am so glad about the Atwoodaissance. When the interviewer (who works for one of the newspapers) tried to derail her discussion about Nicolae Ceausescu and his horrible regime to goad her into talking about Trump (which she had already kind of addressed), she stood…

Kesha, Tarana Burke, Rose McGowen, Margaret Atwood, Bethenny Frankel, Kristen Gillibrand, Maxine Waters, Leslie Jones, my daughters, my BFF who has lived through a year of personal and professional disappointments but keeps her head up and is still there when I need her, my mom who takes care of my children and keeps…

You’re a dude, aren’t you?

At first I was like “Is this satire?” and then “Well this is a great pick, it can’t be” and then “Maybe it is some new form of satire that I’m not familiar with” and then “No, some of these picks are awful. Throw out 3/4ths of them because they demean the other 1/4th by making people question the good ones.”

Like I feel like two lists could have been acceptable. Stassa’s seemed very sincere in thanking her village of women who care for her kid. Then the poop lady, seriously?

My vote goes to Amanda Werner for trolling the Equifax Senate hearing dressed as the Monopoly dude.

I am going to reclaim my time spent reviewing that list and point out the notable absence of the Honorable Maxine Waters of California.

Patty Jenkins, for teaching me how much representation really does matter:

I find LuAnn likable but then I remembered her silence when the housewives were asked who they voted for and she didnt say who she voted for but all the ones who voted for Hillary said so which leads me to believe she absolutely voted for Trump.

For some alcoholics, quitting leads to weight loss. For others, weight gain. If he was drinking hard alcohol and not eating then quit drinking and started eating, he would likely gain a significant amount of weight. The body craves sugar and it takes a while to figure out how food works again.

The academic job market is very competitive. They would have no problem at all finding not one but a few dozen highly qualified potential replacements. There are enough non=molestors in my profession that there is no need to employ the molesters.
