His movies really are dreck, but try finding a movie with more than one or two black people in it that's not about slavery or civil rights. That's why people will go to see them. If movies aimed primarily at a black audience can make money, maybe one day studios will put money into a good movie by a black director…

You all laugh, but this is a serious problem. I once saw this thing on TV about a guy that pretended to be gay so he could live with these two girls. Those damn lying straights with their buxom young female roommates, and then one of the girls leaves and her cousin moves in for some reason, but then she leaves and…

Gay people are icky. That's pretty much the "logic."

Huh. I generally just watch things like the Science Channel when I watch TV. That's not to adopt a holier-than-thou attitude; I'm certain I take plenty of time to judge others. But when it comes to a choice between watching things that are vapid and exploitative or watching some sweet, sweet Michio Kaku action, I love…

I'm genuinely curious, who watches beauty pageants? I am fairly sure that I don't know a single person that's intentionally watched a beauty pageant. Obviously, this isn't scientific - I haven't gotten around to meeting and getting to know every person. But who really does watch these? Old people?

Breakfast at Tiffany's is a fucking stupid, racist, anti-feminist movie. People love Audrey Hepburn in a dress with a cigarette holder. That movie sucks.

I have heard this quote before, and I don't know what it's from. Please don't tell me! My only experience with it is hearing Carter Pewterschmidt say it and it makes me laugh, and knowing the real horrible racist thing would make it not funny.

I've never been to Europe but I have heard about it. I have a friend in Ireland right now that sent me a picture of a Mexican restaurant - I think the picture they used would have been less racist if they'd used Speedy Gonzalez and Slowpoke Rodriguez. And racism in European football is awful even compared to other…

It's weird, the guilt one feels as a member of the group in power - and believe me, I know, BOO HOO IT'S HARD BEING PART OF THE POWERFUL GROUP - but it's hard knowing, for a fact, that there will be times that I deliver harmful messages to my children, messages that further the marginalization of people different from…

Thanks!

Sorry, I didn't mean to make assumptions there. I was speaking more in the abstract, more generally for people who actually are dangerously overweight. I just want to tell all the five-year-old girls that they're beautiful, because what five-year-old isn't beautiful?

This happened in America. I will never get over that this actually happened. It shouldn't be the least bit surprising, but GUYS. THIS HAPPENED.

The world mourns today, and in one voice, we say:

Thanks! I came in at 2:12:20 - I wasn't threatening the leaders, but I was going for 2:30 so I was damn happy. Also, I ran 13.1 miles in a row, so that was cool.

At the rate that they keep shrinking them, they'll literally disappear pretty soon.

Reese's peanut butter things in any shape - Trees, Eggs, Hearts - are the most amazing. They have that awesome chocolate:peanut butter ratio.

It's a hard thing (and of course, I'm speaking from my male viewpoint here). When I was at four bills - typing 400 pounds is still difficult - it was really important for me to actually come out and say to everyone I know, "I'm fat." I spent so long just pretending it wasn't the case, and never acknowledging it to…

Jesus. Laura, that story just made the room get all dusty. Can I hug five-year-old you?

Just...holy shit. Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you. I don't wish violence upon people, so Congressman Cramer, I guess I hope that your bank has a problem with your account and you have to spend the whole day down there and they're all really unhelpful and snarky. Also, fuck you.

I love all you feminists. And it's totally OK if we're just friends instead of heading into the bone zone.
