Even if you are vaccinated on the normal schedule, if you later become immunocompromised for some reason, then it can undermine the vaccine’s efficacy. So, basically, since we know she was immunocompromised/suppressed for some reason, we can’t determine anything about the efficacy of the vaccine. Or at least that is…

Hey Hilary, I don’t want to be a jerk, but this is an unconfirmed report that originated from the fansite MCU exchange. They are citing an anonymous source they say works in the industry and Marvel has not yet confirmed this to be true. Vanity Fair has since updated the article that is linked here. I really, really…

My reaction was also “....did she steal this from that stupid Grey book?”

I’m noticing a lot of folks who get mad when we call Francis “cool pope” or “chill pope” or refer to him as liberal in anyway shape or form (not counting folks who are angry he hasn’t done enough to address abuse- that’s a legit criticsm), but I think some context might be necessary.

(No one will find this funny except for the like... 15 people who saw Jupiter Ascending)

This is a very good attitude.

This is true, but I still hold that the joke in this situation is more the entertainment industry’s apparent refusal to let us know how tall any of the men who work in it are. And I don’t think the comparison to weight for women works, at least not exactly. Women who are deemed too heavy are expected to physically…

I honestly think it comes from the entertainment industry assuming that we will not accept male stars if we know that they aren’t actually that tall, unless it’s someone who is using their shortness for comedic effect. Thus, it has become kind of a thing that no one knows how tall actors are ever. Many commenters I…

A bunch of them, apparently!

I got into them late too! Yeah, there are some jerks, but if you can find a good place, then the employees shouldn’t give you trouble. See if you live near one of the stores on Hater Free Wednesdays’ recommendation list- they’re set up to recommend stores that are welcoming to women, PoC, folks with disabilities, etc,…

I don’t have statistics, but I can say that it is true of me. I read manga for years, but could never really got into Western Comics (although I was super into the DCAU) until the rise of the MCU.

The shop I go to is into cosplay and costuming too! My friend and I discuss build techniques with the folks that work there all the time. They also do a really fun costume contest at Halloween.

Clearly this is her attempting the workout plan highlighted in the classic Call on Me.

Additionally, while I don’t follow celebrity gossip closely, it was my understanding that the Taylor Swift vs John Mayer fight had already ended decisively in Taylor Swift’s favor (although that is admittedly based on a throwaway line in this video about her supposedly making him cry with her “hurtful, hurtful words”).

I was trying to figure out what was up with that as well. Is he basically making the same joke that you are? Was it like a drop down list of potential interests? Because Kinki Kids, spelled as it is, is a JPop band (they were popular when I was in Sendai in 2004), and listing the Child’s Play series is basically the…

Your liver actually. Drinking alcohol and taking acetaminophen causes a greater than normal percentage of the acetaminophen to be converted to a hepatoxic intermediate. I think there have been a few recent studies suggesting maybe some issues with the kidneys, but to my knowledge, the liver is the best characterized…

Well, Taylor does 100% write about shit that happened in her relationships/friendships etc, even after she moved from country to pop. So, that the song was written about Katy Perry is pretty plausible to me. However, I’m less sold on the idea that she plotted out the video as some sort of WHAT NOW KATY PERRY thing.…

Yesssssss. Fantastic.

Excellent. With the exception of a few of them, a bunch of the names seemed super random, so that’s why I started thinking they picked them themselves. Which again, I really hope they all did.

I didn’t know any of the fighting with Katy Perry stuff, so my impression of the video was “Taylor Swift & Friends’ bizarrely well-funded sci-fi themed LARP.” Do you think they picked out their own names? I hope they did.
