George Takei is a perfect human being.

Well, you know, the vegetarian Catholics won't eat fish on Friday. Which is the only way to not eat meat during lent. By eating fish. (I wish I hadn't had this conversation IRL during Lent on year. "Hey come over, I'll make dinner" "Fish?" "No I suck at fish, veggie chili" "but it's Lent, I need fish" "no you just…

I had a handcrafted headdress that my great-grandpa made for me (half Native American, half Spanish. He never knew his heritage, as his mother was forcibly removed as a child and grew up the "Indian Daughter" of some pioneers) that I absolutely loved.

So it's "not just Lena Dunham," but Lena Dunham is the one you pay $10,000 for to get unretouched photos of her (for no good reason, except what appears to be some bizarre form of spite).

Instead of putting out a 10K bounty on the real photos and getting all whipped up about it, Jezebel's headline should have been "Lena Dunham looks like her beautiful self on the cover of Vogue, here's why that's a good thing". The cover image was the least re-touched of any of the photos, and she looks very much…

Jez, you pulled this shit with Melissa McCarthy.
