In the novel the original expedition to Bolivia and the serum they developed with what they brought back were meant to create super-soldiers for military purposes. Greatly increased strength, quick recovery from injury, long-lived. Switching the motivation to some sort of vaccine like this basically makes it a remake…

If you can't make that complaints of sexual discrimination are dealt with because you're too busy as a candidate, you're going to be one shitty president. 

Stealing a tweet I saw this morning: Nancy Pelosi just showed that you don’t need balls to stand up to Trump; you just need a spine.

Thank you internet

All he had to do was not resign. I’m kind of pissed that we’re sticking to this narrative of what Gillibrand did or didn’t do and ignoring what Franken did—not just grope, but quit.  He quit.  How is he not responsible even for his own resignation?

“Trump is shaking!!!”

Hey folks! I just wanted to point out that the fine people at Does the Dog Die? have a comprehensive list of flags regarding various triggers and semi-spoilers for all sorts of red flags that people might care about. If you have specific things that might make a movie a no-go, I’d recommend checking them out.

The best response I’ve ever read to “Look, my parents spanked me and I turned out fine!” is “No, you didn’t. You think it is okay to hit little kids.”

The WHO recommends nursing until 2 and says the international average is between 3 and 7. Get over it America. I was done nursing my oldest when he was three, mostly because I was tandem nursing and exhausted and my body just told me he was the one who had to go. He’s 4 and would probably still be nursing if I had not…

A couple months ago, after seeing my abusive ex at a show we were at, I told my husband about his raping me almost 20 years ago. It was the first— and only— time I had said the words outloud. I have been with my husband for over 15 years. Hell, it took me over a decade to even admit to myself that what happened with…

Tom Arnold brawling with people I’ve never heard of is the kind of no-stakes drama we need to get back to in this country.

It’s easy to criticize her for her obvious failings here, but you might pause if you knew anything about reactive attachment disorder (I vaguely remember reading a piece she wrote about the girls that indicated that they had it). Manyard is indeed guilty of being naive about what it would mean to adopt older, traumatiz…

She may have refused to be by his side for whatever reason but I distinctly remember her giving an interview abiding by the talking point that his comments should be deemed ‘locker-room talk’ instead of taken seriously. She also went along with her husband birther lunacy against Obama. Make no mistake this one knows…

He was diagnosed with a 0% chance of surviving his brain cancer, and he didn’t resign because he knew he might linger long enough that he’d be replaced by an appointed Senator rather than an elected one.  If he’d resigned a few months ago, Arizona would be holding an election to fill his seat.  John McCain decided…

He never met a military action he didn’t like, even the one that cost him five years of his life and was based on lies and bogeymen. Up until the very end of his fight against cancer, he fully supported a system that ensured most people would never get his level of care. He wanted to be a maverick in his party yet he p…

He gave us Sarah Palin, which helped birth the Tea Party, which helped get us into the current travesty that is our national politics. I hope he had the fortune to die peacefully, but I’m not shedding any tears.

Have you never been introduced to the idea of ‘analogy’ or do you take people literally at all times?

Most people don’t have experience boating and don’t realize that boats aren’t immune to that type of weather, especially on a lake. It’s not every day that you hear about a large boat sinking in the middle of an American lake. And I’m not sure what you expected them to do once they’d already left the dock and the…

No, Meghan doesn’t have to do anything regarding her family to make you or anyone else feel better.
