I just posted about this elsewhere, but I had a very similar thing happen! I had food poisoning or something on the day of my Catholic confirmation (I’m agnostic but my mom really wanted me to do this). I vomited on the side of the church. How we all didn’t immediately take this as a sign, I’ll never know.

I’ve got two:

Indeed. I’ve been sending around to people so hard since I first saw it, it might qualify as some kind of mission work.

I should have scrolled down, I just posted this here too haha (although I’m in the greys).

I posted about this over on io9 earlier today, but I’m making it a bit of a mission to spread around this cosplay pic that showed up on Tumblr yesterday, because I cannot think of any way in which it doesn’t instantly improve your day for having seen it.

If you want some next level “the fuck is this” go find yourself some old Weight Watchers recipes. It’s all the THAT’S NOT HOW FOOD WORKS of mid-century recipes plus the questionable dieting advice of the 60s and 70s. For example.

Okay, but why are these two women are wearing fox ears?

So, right before this came out, I had just watched this video about the US-Canadian border. Armed with that information, I can’t help but find this extra hilarious. Like, it’s a dumb proposition to start with, but it’s even fucking crazier when you start hearing the stats about precisely how giant the border is. Like,…

One of the gods in the Wicked and the Divine is very clearly based on Kanye and at one point we see a mural he has that is almost certainly based on the “Power” music video. So, what I’m saying is, here is a pretty solid approximation of what that presidential portrait would look like:

My understanding with the symmetry thing is that you do not notice it. I’m not saying it is correct, just that it is, to my understanding, something that we supposedly take note of unconsciously.

I think it’s acceptable to say that we don’t need animal testing on finished cosmetics products (possibly on individual components or combos if they are new), but I am aware that PETA, who she works with, also is against medical testing, so it is fair to call her out.

Same here. I work in a lab at a university. We don’t have drills but there are these little flip book looking things posted by every elevator with the school’s evac policies for different events.

Onycholysis (the above nail lifting) and onychomycosis (nail fungus) can apparently look very similar- I found a few case reports from the 1980s and 90s of onycholysis and dermatitis from being sensitized to volatile organics being confused for onychomycosis. Given the quick onset reactions- the burning and tingling…

As a toxicologist, the whole “but it gets on my clothes” thing made my eyes twitch.

They asked him at the end of the video if he knew that that was Ellen Page he was arguing with (although he should have been tipped off when, from the looks of it, a bunch of the reporters followed her when she left) and he had no idea. She had sunglasses and a hat on, but she has a pretty distinctive voice, and when…

I think it is two-fold. First, as stated in the article, Bernie’s style of campaigning makes him relatively easy to disrupt. Hillary is surrounded by Secret Service, Trump likely has security (although he doesn’t do all that much ground game), and the other Republican candidates are likely to have security screen out…

I’m with you. There’s a lot of stuff in Blackfish that is iffy, but I think the point it illustrates well is that the conditions orcas are in currently are woefully innadequate. I think the new pen Seaworld has planned is a reasonable start, but it still isn’t big enough imo, but I’d like to see them do something like…

I had to read that and it was... odd (I definitely recall wondering why in the hell this was on the reading list since it was so seemingly romance novel-y compared to everything else), but that book at least didn’t pull anything as FUCKING WHAT. as having the Jewish main character convert to Christianity.

Almost certainly not. My understanding of how this works is that basically Fox doesn’t own the Fantastic Four themselves as an intellectual property, just the film rights. Like with Sony and Spider-Man, there seems to be a requirement that they must be actively using a property within X number of years or the film…

I generally run warm, but my hands do get cold while I’m typing. Now, I work in a lab type setting where basically no one cares how you are dressed as long as it meets safety requirements (closed toed shoes ftw), so I usually just work while wearing fingerless gloves. I look like a weirdo, but my hands are warm and it…
