We also need a shoutout to judge Posner, in the last two years he has routed conservatives arguing against gay marriage, adoption by same sex couples, and for trap laws. Every time with coherent, kind arguments that made the defense look like vicious assholes.

I think Lithwick is great, but my heart will always belong to Nina Totenberg.

Isn't she really the winner of every republican debate?

Yes, absolutely. Whenever one of these stories come up I flash back to a nttimes column about Beyoncé where a commenter was raving about how fat her thighs are and how she is so unhealthy. When I’m pretty sure Beyoncé could crush someone’s head using her thighs. I believe obesity is correlated with medical conditions,…

I love Olivia Munn’s dress. I often think one shoulder dresses look unbalanced and precarious, but that lovely isn't going anywhere. Looking confident and flawless requires you tobe sure your dress won't fall off. The fabric is gorgeous.

So, this guy is going to kill the Chmerkovskiy brothers. Being shirtless is their thing, and this guy is just so, so much better at it then they are.

I love that show! I've fallen way behind though. This man is beautiful, time to catch up!

Urban is my favorite kind of country, a storyteller. His songs are all the typical stuff:heartbreak, nostalgia, yearning, etc. he’s just done it so much better and more grown up than most others. Urban is also more on the bluesy side of pop country, which seems to be gaining momentum at the moment, hopefully it will…

I want kids but am not particularly psyched to be pregnant. I think it will be amazing and life changing to be pregnant, but I could be very happy with a surrogate. I am friends with a lesbian couple who both want children, but only one of them is interested in pregnancy. And it is a fierce interest. She has some…

Prizes are a really good way for under represented groups to overcome systemic biases in hiring and school admissions. These girls are pretty young, but this shit snowballs very quickly in high school. Being able to say you won a prize is a concrete example that you are good at something even if your instructor wrote…

Seconded.

I wish someone would have the honesty and bravery to say “I don’t like how larger women look” without cloaking it in health concerns. We all know what you mean, anyway.

Come on down to Houston where we studiously ignore that we are the city that brought you Ted Cruz. Seriously, my neighborhood is a lovely liberal bubble. Surrounded by some serious wackos who are way to obsessed with bathroom habits.

I wonder how much Lands end really risks in this if they hadn’t caved. The million moms crowd is nowhere close to a million moms, and they are historically ineffective at boycotting things. Remember The Muppets, Tylenol, nabisco, Chobani, Campbell’s soup? All boycotted by them in the last year. Most people suck at…

Ha! I bet that was part of why she was fucking insane on the plane. That is close to a 12 hour flight and once you’ve flown in the pods you never want to go back. Turkish Airways is usually amazing to fly, but they do still have some planes with the no foot rest, same depth as your seat partner style. The very first…

Had you watched the west wing or sports night before? I loved those shows. But when I tried out newsroom, Sorkin’s distinctive style was just too familiar, it made it seem so fake.

I’m a freckle faced girl, I often look likeMunn on the right at the start of the night and left at the end. Nice foundation=no freckles+glow. Her makeup just way better, and with a much more flattering light.

I honestly don’t get what Sony’s end game is here. I understand their financial stake in this very successful producer, and in holding artists to contracts, but this is beyond messy. Are they hoping to permanently bar Kesha from making music and making her an example? Do they seriously think Kesha and Luke will have…

I'm the same and it happens really fast. If I wash my hair first thing one day, the next morning my hair looks great and has delightful body. By 11 am, it looks like it is wet and starts to smell.

I do that sometimes too, I like it very dark and very quiet, both of which my trusty pillow can accomplish.
