Right?? How on earth anyone can say that BMI is an improvement over 1950s insurance height/weight charts with a straight face is beyond me. Just because there’s math involved doesn’t mean it’s any different!!

“remember that what we diagnose as eating disorders in thin people are typically the cures we prescribe for fat ones.”

I’ve only ever seen the Jessica Lange version, but I definitely sympathized with King Kong and was really pissed at the humans (and the ending). I don’t think I’ve ever actually sat and watched a Godzilla movie.

Jupiter Jones, of the Alfred Hitchcock and the Three Investigators series, is and always will be the best Jupiter (after the planet).

This is gross. I’m as woke/SJW-y as the next far-lefty, but she was SEVENTEEN. Jesus christ. If she had put that stuff out when she was 27*, then sure...you’re a grown-ass adult by then and should know better. But call off the dogs for a few months and see if she’s grown. I was a goddamn idiot when I was 17.

From what I remember, Jez beat that drum for a dozen articles and NEVER backed down, even when it was clear Reade was full of shit. One of many infuriating things about this blog.

Exact same thing I thought when I read “by inserting the government into medical [and familial] decisions.”

That sounds shitty. Why don’t they put HER on hiatus and let her coworkers and the rest of the show’s staff keep doing their jobs?

Well, but “most progressive in W.Va.” definitely doesn’t equal “progressive” as we know it. That terminology is my only quibble.

Sure, but he’s not a progressive. That’s the only thing I took issue with.

Honest question: Was Janice Dickinson REALLY a “supermodel”? I think of supermodels as the Really Big Names who are ubiquitous. I was a kid in the 70s and I knew who Lauren Hutton, Christie Brinkley and Cheryl Tiegs were, and then learned of more big names as I got older, but I never, ever heard of JD until her…

Ojeda -- pro-coal and pro-gun -- is *not* a progressive. Granted, his near DINO-ness is what would have gotten him closer in the general. But he’s not even close to being a progressive.

Any chance the author can list the 11 bars/cities for those of us outside the U.S. who can’t access the article?

I loved Rory Dolan’s! I used to live in Stamford and would head to Yonkers once in a while. Frequently ended the night making out with a cute Irish boy in my Jeep. :)

Same. I can’t get the actual article.

But you have Ruffles cheddar and sour cream, the best potato chip on the planet! And jalapeno ranch. And Cheetos! This expat living in France is befuddled. Chips here suck. I try all new flavors of chips, because they are my biggest weakness/love. Lay’s here had a limited edition olive flavor. I love olives, but I…

If she were my auntie, I’d love her forever for trying to keep me from wearing tights once.

Not to worry -- Hillary Baldwin is taking care of it single-handedly.

In 2005, 110 people got the second-place Powerball win (5 numbers, without the Powerball number), and officials figured it was fraud. But it was fortune cookies.

I’ve only ever heard people say that about people who have a thousand kids -- Hillary here, Angelina, Madonna. I think most people (even me, who hates children) support adoption.
