This is the only image I can think of every time I see Smith in that stupid wig. He looks so godawful in it. The hairstyle does nothing for him.

For real. It would only have taken a line or two to change the scene from horrific to horribly tragic, which I expect it was supposed to read as. Honestly, after watching the episode, I’m pissed off at how the scene was handled, but I wouldn’t put it past GRRM for the set-up to be how he intended it to be. The reality…

Seriously? That’s total B.S. Poxviruses spread through contact.

I've never heard of it, either, and I was in middle/high school in the early aughts.

Wait, how is wanting to use a condom to prevent HIV transmission a negative thing? Obviously, PrEP prevents transmission to someone HIV negative and ART prevents transmission from someone HIV positive (depending on the individual’s regimen and viral loads etc.), but I can’t see why someone bemoaning a lack of condom…

Hey, uh, you’re throwing stones from a glass house a bit, considering Parliament. Like, expecting there to be less infighting in the Democratic Party than a collective composed of Sinn Féin, the SDLP, SNP, Labour, the Greens, and Plaid Cymru, is genuinely a bit nonsense. ‘Cause the US Democratic Party is actually 50…

Someone should fucking challenge Marbury vs. Madison just to fuck with them. Love to see if Thomas is enough of a shithead to try to undo the purpose of the Supreme Court.

Wait, really? They’re upset about the show because of the fringe group? It doesn’t exactly make mainline LDS look stellar, either. I mean, Jesus Christ. Talk about projection.

Yeah, seriously. Has Jezebel completely forgotten the terminology for the Pro-Choice movement?

I know! Heard had to prove in the UK courts that she was telling the truth. So what if she has had bizarre and/or violent behavior as well? That doesn’t invalidate what was done to her. Like, I have no horse in this race, but this shit is bonkers.

I know, right?

It looks okay from the front, but from the side, it makes me anxious just looking at it. The shape itself is great, but, as you said, it looks unfinished. The hem in the front looks a little off, and the inner placket poking out under the hem of the top one doesn’t help. The shirt probably could have stood to have…

China claimed it invented kimchi and the hanbok...? Jesus Christ.

I’m stunned that the Prime Minister of Finland was able to go to a club let alone actually wanted to.

God damn, you’re an idiot.

Also we want to make sure the vaccine is safe and effective in the average individual before giving it to pregnant people, who are considered one of the special groups for clinical trials.

I have no doubt in my mind these people truly believe this. Just because you hold leftist ideals doesn’t preclude being a raging sexist. Consider how many male Marxists never think to clean their own house if there’s a woman there to do it for them. Some far left politicians and political candidates have been willing…

I know this is a bizarre thing to comment on in your story, but the horse hair in the walls isn’t actually that weird, since people used to use it to make plaster walls a lot stronger and less liable to crack. The horse hair was used to reinforce the plaster and allowed for greater flexibility of the plaster when…

Safety testing. We need to make sure it’s safe for kids. You need to prove it’s fine for adults, then for older children (12-18), then for younger children, and farther down, depending on how young we’re going to give it to people. I can’t remember the guidelines exactly, but I think there are more restrictions the…

The J&J vaccine has excellent protection against the variants. There’s an ongoing study for doing a boost, but the vaccine does what it’s supposed to do with a single shot. It was tested at a different point in the pandemic than Pfizer and Moderna, so we can’t directly compare the results from the clinical trials yet.…
