I’ve really tried to figure out exactly what it is about Tumblr that attracts a certain subset of reactionary, delusional people. Is it because there’s no character limit to their constant discontent?

High school basketball players and volleyball players get paid well? Hell, even professional MEN in certain sports sometimes get paid little more than your standard white collar professional. Women’s sports are generally devalued and so those women get paid even less. They may be somewhat in the public eye, but it’s…

“ This sister now cries out to us because of the harm we have inflicted on her by our irresponsible use and abuse of the goods with which God has endowed her. We have come to see ourselves as her lords and masters, entitled to plunder her at will...Some forms of pollution are part of people’s daily experience.…

You know, I’m with you on this one. The basic response when people talk about television is “don’t like it? Don’t watch it.” And I do that on the regular. I try to avoid anything Kardashian the same way I try to avoid Fox News and all of those “Little Family” shows on TLC.

I’m white (nearly translucent) and the times where I’ve tried to do 40s era pin curls and left the bobby pins on overnight resulted in this. My hair is nearly halfway down my back straight, and with those curls it barely reached my shoulders. Maybe depending on hair texture (and a shit ton of product) she can maintain…

Ugh. YEAST. “The yeast is moist.” WTF.

Next to “ointment” and “y” words like “belly” and “tasty”, moist is truly the worst word in the English language. I just keep thinking of that Pepper Ann episode where the dude friend kept saying it... “moiiiiieeeeesssttt”.

Amen to that! For instance, last night I was out for a friend’s birthday, and out of a party of 15, I was the ONLY uncoupled person there—everyone else was with their spouse. I mean, I really enjoy being the single career-oriented person, but DAMN it sucks to be the oddball that can’t relate to half of the…

I’m also 30 in the Midwest, and this is absolutely the case with my social group. Most of them were married before they graduated from college (if they attended college at all). No divorces yet, but there are also very few couples where both are working full-time-in all but two cases, the women are either stay-at-home…

Olly is some of the most heavy-handed foreshadowing I’ve ever seen. Gee, ya think he’s resigned himself to doing a no-good, rotten thing? I’m waiting for the closeup of him with shifty eyes.

I’d argue that people saying it was out of character have probably read the books, and have also skipped into some TWOW sample chapters. Yes, a series of novels is not the same as a television adaptation, but based on where Stannis’s storyline is going, and how it has intersected with several other POV characters by…

I forgot about that! It’s so much more complex than “insert money, receive approved drug”.

It’s really fascinating how these side effects get reported, and the bias included in reporting data—which is probably why I tend to get defensive on behalf of the FDA on these posts.

I’ve mentioned before that I spent several years as a medical and pharmaceutical writer working in the approval process, and honestly, these side effects sound no more insane or risky than that of any other medication. Low blood pressure? It only takes one reported “adverse event” that may or may not be related to the…

This is actually the first time they’ve got it right. It only took about 200 odd reminders from the commentariat for them to figure it out.

I would think that with more exposure performing, Violet would eventually become Raja 2.0, and I mean that in a good way. There really hasn’t been a fashion forward queen quite like Raja since season three, and I think that would be exciting to see. People knock Violet for being young but damn, to be that put together…

America deserves the sweatiest woman in show business!

I just made the same comment!

Ginger didn’t win because people finally caught up with her schtick. The AV Club has had a great series of takedowns on how her persona is more affected and comes from a place of far more dishonesty. For example, don’t call yourself a, “bitter old lady” when you are seven years older than the winner and still in your…

CHAD MICHAELS. Queen of the Snatch Game (co queen, if we count Jinx’s Little Edie).
