No. WE have too much time on our hands. This is her job.

My sarcasm was meant to be sarcastic.

That's the kind of writing up with which I shall not put!

I don't really care about this little experiment too much either but I am annoyed at the fact that they manipulate my newsfeed in general. I get why their algorithm exists and that it kind of makes sense that the fewer interactions you have with a friend or group, the less you'll ever see of them. It still annoys me…

I remember the part in 1984 where Winston voluntarily joins the Party, and Big Brother's worst crime against the people was subtle and temporary emotional manipulation.

. When I was a wee kid, in the days when it was Kentucky Fried Chicken and not KFC and the Colonel was in charge, it was good. Not the best,not like homemade, and not as good as the local New England chain Chicken Delight, but pretty goddamn good. Except the corn on the cob, which always sucked but at least it tasted…

I once hailed a cab to take me through the McDonald's drive-thru because they wouldn't let me walk up. No judgment here.

How many times do people have to read about child abuse before they start realizing not everyone should become a parent? Every married but childless hetero couple I know gets questioned about when they're going to have kids and/or why they don't have kids yet. Seriously, stop acting like it's the "normal" thing to do…

The patriarchy sneaks up behind you, makes your hair move and then is erased in post production?

OK, there is no argument left that this is performance art. He has a mental problem.

I wonder if all the notes they were having slid under his door were just quizzes titled "What 1990s-Era Pedophile Are You?"

I can live with being "consistently funny but consistently wrong."

I can (sadly, regrettably) shed some light on this: See, it's like this, Sandy Hook never happened. The police and media were in on it. The grieving families are actors. The children either never existed or where actors. Um... let's see, what else... the shooter was either a fall guy or fake, too.

I cannot abide Sandy Hook truthers—-what the fuck do they think happened to the kids who are now just gone? Do they think they're still alive? Do they think the families got paid to have funerals and put on a big public display of mourning and really their kids are like at a Swiss boarding school or some shit? Do they…

Agreed. I loved her for years on Gilmore Girls where her weight was a complete non-issue for the character. But that didn't make her a household name. Now that she can make money playing the stereotypical crass, loud, socially inappropriate fat woman, that's all she does.

Here's the other reason I did a Foods That Should Not Exist: since this is the column that landed me this job, and a trip out of the nightmare that is the food industry, I thought it only fitting that my last full feature as a Recruit (other than next Monday's BCO) be a probably-overdue edition of Foods That Should…

I read the Tori and Dean thing as "We Are Moving in with One Direction" and for a second I thought that was a reality show I'd watch.

"He really isn't in a good place."

I fricking love this movie. I remember when it came out I thought it looked scary so I wanted to read the book first. This book (and The Andromeda Strain) is what made me truly fall in love with science fiction. God, I miss Michael Crichton. He was awesome.
