Is the dead cheerleader a stereotypical trope? Absolutely. But to point out Chrissy’s character is notably different than the cheerleaders who died before her, only to ignore how that defense essentially contradicts your general argument that her death is “carrying out the natural ending for a whoring villain” is...…

I’m glad to see Rocketman included here, because it got the short shrift when it was released. It is a far, far better film than Bohemian Rhapsody in pretty much every way. Better screenplay, better editing (worlds better editing), and a better use of the subject’s music as a storytelling tool. Rocketman is inventive…

It’s a macho battle flick with Jason Bourne and Kylo Ren and Batman and swords and armor and mud and it’s also a Rashomon-style investigation of a seven-hundred-year-old rape trial and also it doesn’t listen to the woman until the final third and also it’s filmed in that miserable, washed-out, essentially-monochrome…

I don’t think it’s her place to name names of the people who got injured or attacked, that’s putting them on blast when maybe they don’t want to. If the people she talked about want to come out and confirm what happened to them, that’s their decision, it’s not hers.

The Uma Thurman story is too important to be a part of a blog full of celebrity gossip.

I don’t prep the soil under a raised bed. These blocks from the Home Depot make it easy to anchor the corners and slip 2x6 boards into.

I agree, but keep in mind he’s often reading what’s put in front of him. I have the Today show on every morning. In the weeks leading up to the games the women’s gymnastic team was interviewed several times by their superfan Hoda Kotb, who called Biles the “OG” and repeatedly emphasized their prospects for the gold…

I don’t like Smith machines because it forces me to move in a very specific way. It makes my movement feel so unnatural. I feel free with barbells.

Sorry (not really), but this is a stupid risk to take, even with the vaccine. We literally just had two staff members do something similar. They have Pfizer, went out to a public place with no mask to mingle with a bunch of strangers, got infected, convinced themselves it couldn’t possibly be COVID, and then infected…

There’s nothing in the context of what she said that is saying “THIN=GOOD!” or... any of this stuff you’re reading into it. I mean this in a nice way but I think the solution here is therapy, because you talked about how they weaponize their inner voices but I’d argue that you’ve mostly been weaponizing your own and…

Im just personally mourning the loss of the 90's angry girl who spoke to my teenage soul that for some reason evolved into culture vulture and now a basic country pop star. but again, that’s just personal.

Shout out to “Maintenence Phase” Podcast (believe they’ve been featured on here), their episode on Fen Phen & Redux is great if anyone wants to feel bad about society and the things we prescribe to make people thin (not healthy, because, well Jesus, listen to that episode).

There needs to be zero tolerance for this kinda shit. Go straight to jail. No bond. A prison sentence and enough of a fine that it ruins their lives forever. And do the same to all the assholes that harrass and assault retail employees. 

“We’re a family” in a job interview is always a red flag for me. It usually means they’ll exploit you and expect that you’ll neglect your actual family in favor of them, and also I straight up don’t want that kind of relationship with my coworkers. We can be amiable and talk about the weather and TV and work - it’s…

For people who don’t like greasy sun screen for your face, I recommend Biore UV Aqua Rich.  I’m prone to acne so am mostly unwilling to grease my face up even more, but this stuff it nice and light and easy to spread.  

My wife and daughter are both gingers, with a history of skin cancer on her side of the family. We’re fucking sunscreen pros lol. We use zinc oxide shit that makes you look like a corpse, stays on your skin and reapply every 1.5 hours or so. At the beach we generally don’t go out from 10-3, avoiding peak UV.

agreed. I have a schwinn IC4 which was $1,000 less than the peloton bike & is far sturdier. people who talk shit on non peloton bikes are just assholes. plus at last check, the classes are more expensive through their own bike than they are on the mobile app (monthly: 40 vs 14), which is insane. I take the same…

Thoughts and prayers. 

While I’m normally all about the gendered biases in medicine, this articles seems a little excessive, given that we are learning, literally in real time, about both the coronavirus and Covid, and the vaccines. A year ago people were wiping down their mail or quarantining their packages. We only learned of efficacious…

The fact that Cannonball by The Breeders was not used in Captain Marvel is a sin I can never forgive.
