Yes, MaddAddam is awesome and interesting and terrifying and thought provoking. That said, The Blind Assassin might be my favorite.

Step outside and settle this Aaron Burr-style?

I have a 1 month old, and I can’t even imagine how horrible this must be for the parents, but I also truly believe that as terrible as it would be, I wouldn’t want to put my baby through that extra pain for a treatment that only has a 10% chance of working. Sometimes being a pragmatist is actually merciful

I’d like to know which Reps. qualify for a duel in this man’s mind. Just to know where he thinks South Texas is, before he gets ready for what I’m sure would be a dignified display of manliness from the House of Representatives.

I’m a parent and fully understand the emotional want to do what they can. However the asshole pragmatic in me knows this treatment would at best be tilting at windmills and would do nothing to help Charlie. Best to let the lad pass on in his own time surrounded by family.

Sad all around. I can’t blame them for wanting to do everything they could.

Wait, you take the muzzle and leash off a rottweiler and are now surprised when it goes on a streak of savaging people? I’m absolutely shocked* by this development.

Charlie Gard’s parents have finally decided to give up their legal fight a day before this latest hearing would conclude (likely against them) when their own doctor agreed with GOSH that the treatment would be pointless.

Before the internet, women didn’t have a whole lot of exposure to other women who publicly aired their unhappiness in their marriages and relationships. At a certain point, Princess Diana revealed it all, including her misery with Charles and eating disorders. That is not a small thing and she should be given credit.

Yes, who will boys look up to now? It’s not like there are that many powerful male figures in entertainment, especially in the sci-fi realm. WON’T SOMEONE THINK OF THE BOY CHILDREN?!?

Also: there is no amount of hair and makeup that is going to make Sarah Huckabee Sanders good at her job. She doesn’t need to look pretty to do a job that is basically just lying. That she only got because... Republican nepotism.

“Look. I like you. But you’re, like, a 4 out of 10. That’s not good enough to beat spicey’s ratings. Definitely not. So you need to get up to at least a 6 out of 10. Hit the gym, cut back on the McDees, tan every once and a while...you know. Actually care about your body and appearance. Unlike now. Where you obviously

Oh man, you just know he told her to lose weight (behind close doors) or else...

To be fair to guys, though, a lot of them are absolutely panicked about female Os, because the new brand of Toxic Masculinity has shifted from “your mere penis-y presence will set her off!” to “you must and shall produce MULTIPLE orgasms with your lady person or you are a tiny, withered omega male.”

In reference to the edginess of talking about vaginas - the one thing that seems to not be edgy is selling products meant to “treat” some alleged dysfunction of your vagina. What’s bothering me even more about it lately is that some of these companies seem to have shifted their message to seem science-y. It’s bad
