Totally. That’s why I have to be rich. Any asshole can buy some ferns and humidifiers and wrap their house in Saran wrap, but if I don’t want my experiment to end in disease, dismemberment and death, I probably need to make a significant investment of money and research.

So many things...A recurring thought for the past several years has been to have some sort of jungle gym system of ladders on the ceiling throughout my entire house so that when I can wake up, I can pull myself out of bed to the ceiling and swing from room to room. I know. It’s weird, but I want it.

That would 100% be my husband.

I’m an academic librarian, and this came up at our last faculty meeting. I think we’re going to go with Westlaw. For us the main selling point of Lexis Nexis is that it is a pain in the butt to deal with professors who learned about one database 15 years ago, and refuse to learn how to search a new one. They will be…

I’m sad about that too, and so, as a gift to you, I present an article that, when viewed in a certain light, could be said to discuss the secret occult history of the U.S. transportation system: Wizards of the Coast. At least this line: “The Pacific-facing lands stretching far to the west of British North America, Dee…

Do you really think that being excited about winning an Oscar seems more manufactured than “not giving a shit” about winning an Oscar?

I cannot think of anything more sincere that a professional actor who seems like a theater kid hamming it up.

You don’t know how nervous I was to look at this comment. All I saw in my notifications was the words “Here’s mine,” and I wasn’t sure until I clicked on it if your comment was referring to my comment here, or to my comment on a different article that the Picasso with blurred out breasts still had a visible vulva.…

One of the all-time greatest gifs.

And yet they didn’t blur the vulva in the painting.

Oh, I’m with you. But around 2007-9, I was dismayed to hear a lot of people talking as though everyone loved Reagan, when that was decidedly not the case.

This is my favorite.

No strapless or strappy tops? I honestly can’t even picture such a prom dress that also adheres to all of the other rules. Does someone have pictures that could help me visualize what an “appropriate” prom dress would look like?

I know a LOT of them did it for Reagan. I haven’t heard as much HW Bush love yet.

I was so happy to see that link, and I will support them today. I’ve been searching for a year for an organization like this.

Thank you for posting a link to Just Detention International. For the past year I have been trying to find an organization to donate to that works on this issue. I am happy to see that it has a good rating (4 stars) from Charity Navigator, because finding the right charity where you know your money will do the most…

“The problem here, of course, is that praising Obama or Jimmy Carter is off limits, Clinton likewise and by a factor of a million...”

Don’t. Don’t reward this type of behavior.

And did you notice that the music in the trailer is from a boy band? What?! I truly have nothing against One Direction, but the trailor for a movie about female rock stars in not the place for one of their songs.

Last night on Twitter was a magical time. I don’t often feel like I have my finger on the pulse of America, but last night we all spoke with one voice, and that voice said “No.”
