I'm waaayyy more scared of Vampires. I'd think a society scared of vampires lends itself much more to what we have now, given the increasingly widening gap between the rich and poor. Of course, movies like Twilight make them seem all sparkly and handsome. A metaphor for false consciousness or lipstick on a pig? Should…

Slightly OT, but was Kenya from the RHOA a Miss USA or Miss America? I never knew there was a difference before now.

Mick was pretty sexy back in the day. His hips didn't lie.

Right? Best not to say anything. Unless someone has been very vocal about trying to lose weight. Then encouragement is great. And that someone is a friend.

Same here. It's a slippery slope and how I developed an eating disorder.

You may have, but I didn't.

Seriously. Crank. Fest.

A lot is TWO words, Kevin. Drives me insane.

I thought about this, too. Rather incongruous.

This reminds me of the toddler-size soda Leslie Knope drank on Parks and Rec. It was toddler sized because you could fit a toddler in it.

I cannot imagine how I'd react to being told I was dying very soon. I've seen my grandparents begin to face their own mortality (knowing they have only a few years left). I don't know if I would be able to wrap my head around it. Her attitude is amazing.

I just don't think it's helpful to argue that putting women on math and science covers is retro. The placement of women on the cover of science books is supposed to normalize the appearance of women in these professions.

It's very interesting that the bus driver AND his brother were both involved. It seems way more planned that way.

*Than* not "that."

Bunions are THE WORST. Sorry, SJP.

I would be less sanguine that ex wife Angie. Then again, I guess you have to be pretty flexible being married to David Bowie.

Me too! I read what I want to read.

I wish candy corn was considered Easter or Passover characteristic food. I'd be totally down with that.

And another counterbalance to the wonderfulness that's happening in Maryland.

Is it really a bribe if you have to pay $20 if you don't lose weight? It's more like a motivator.
