I was just coming here to post that same thing. Really, though, that episode terrified me. The whole genre of disaster stories where the people turn on each other is the scariest for me. My heart was in my throat the whole time.

Pink it, shrink it, tack some gaudy shit on it. Done and done.

Print is so dead that the guy in the stock photo above has allowed his cell phone cord to somehow grow into his palm. The ladymags have no choice but to integrate digital. It is only a matter of time until we all accept the inevitable and become Cybermen.

They aren't suing on the basis of the content of the photographs, though. While the content is what the articles seem to be focusing on, if you actually chase down the filings, they are suing on the basis that the licensing agreement only included the magazine editorial, not the subsequent licensing to Urban…

I fight this battle on a regular basis in the work that I do, not only with mental illnesses, but with my two biggest pet peeves: "foster kids" and "abused women." I am constantly doing the polite correction to "children in foster care" and "women who have been abused" (or even better, "women who have survived…

I never thought that something that included the use of the term, "rope of mucous" could be so damn pretty.

The babies are adorable. That one mom who is yelling, "It's Mommy!" at the beginning of the race is a little terrifying.

It's pretty hot in Cuba. I imagine she's sweating.

Wait, there's funnel cake? No lie, I would fake conservatism for funnel cake.

Mark Hays is like the anti-Old Spice dude:

So, did those God-fearing Republican child time travelers just use a camera strapped to a bee to spy on the President in the Oval Office? Time travelers or not, that shit is illegal.

I think that is cartoon Khalid Sheik Mohammed, not Saddam Hussein.

I think there is probably a wide swath of middle ground, but those people have sensibly chosen to not go on the internet and purport to school others on how to parent.

So did I, and I was driving! I briefly considered switching over to one of the religious talk shows to get back the righteous anger that one needs to drive in Philadelphia, but luckily it turned out to be unnecessary as I immediately began to think about Giffords' colleagues' refusal to pass reasonable gun control…

I was all ready to rip into Gaga if the gist of her statement was that Amy Winhouse's death taught us that we all just need to be kinder to "superstars" in general, but I don't think that is what she is trying to say. I think she was just trying to be poetic by substituting a common noun for Amy's name. Like how you…

When you are asking yourself if something is sexist (and therefore an area where feminism is "necessary"), it is useful to look at the way in which other groups are treated in the same area. Something is sexist where women are treated differently. The analysis of any of the -isms (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc.) is…

Watching Bomer act circles around Timberlake is going to be completely awkward and totally satisfying at the same time.

It is:

Well, the government isn't obligated to grant benefits, but where it does grant benefits, the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause prohibits the government from treating some groups differently than other groups. Obviously the Supreme Court hasn't decided yet that the LGBT population should be included in those…

I think it is possible that you are me. I actually have been allowing myself to watch Torchwood while I write my flashcards. I just got through the second series. It might be the only thing keeping me sane.
