Singer and new parent Halsey found some time during her child’s nap time

Does no one remember Michael Sam? Dude didn’t actually play in a game, but he was drafted and kissed his boyfriend on live tv when it happened. Has everyone just agreed that he wasn’t part of the NFL so someone else could be the first openly gay man to pay? Is he being whitewashed?

There’s also reason to believe that the person we see in some of the shots isn’t Link but the eponymous Zelda herself.

There’s a lack of scientific evidence because science has never bothered to look into the matter before. There’s no evidence either way. Be wary of wellness culture and the consumerism involved, but don’t dismiss women’s claims that hormonal birth control wasn’t great for their mental health just because no one’s yet

I’m thrown by the sneering at people who don’t want to use hormonal birth control? I haven’t used it in years, not because I’m a sucker for “wellness” buzzwords but because it made a noticeable negative difference for me. I’m excited that we’re exploring alternatives because my (non-hormonal) IUD was really painful to

Another advantage is that the anti-choice contingent will have a harder time claiming this form of contraception is actually abortion and can be outlawed accordingly. Currently they are on the “life begins at conception” kick to stop birth control. I’m sure they will make a cover of Every Sperm Is Sacred and try to

Oh, Honey. 

Surprised you didn’t put the puns in the title.

Seriously, people, the movie isn’t horrible. It’s decent, so long as you remember that it’s a New York Mario, and has very little to do with canon Mario. (Seriously, there’s pretty much no way that canon Mario was raised in NYC. At closest it was New Donk and I doubt even that.)

That her response to accusations of a toxic culture by employees is an emphasis on how her GUESTS perceived the environment tells me everything I need to know about what that workplace was actually like. 

they didn’t have to.

A “Game Hole!”

I feel like a full 90% of the Jezebel pieces I read are just introductions to a larger piece that doesn’t exist. The conclusion seems to be that the division between suburbs and city are arbitrary and invented, which I can get behind, but is the sex-obsessed suburban woman really a myth then ?

Oh my god this math makes me freaking angry. None of this is how that works. All of the money paid to charity, all of the money paid to moderators, all of that gets deducted from taxes (NOT from net profits). If he is paying 75k to mods, and donating 80k to charity, then that means that his taxable income isn’t 300k,

This tends to be my opinion as well. I think that the concept of fairness in a restricted-class sports competition (in this case, women’s sports) relies on a fundamental adherence to the spirit of that restriction.

In a more sane world, everyone would just use the NCAA’s testosterone policy, and then be open to monitoring outcomes over the course of years or even decades as we continue to accrue more observations of trans athletes. This is a topic where I don’t really care about people’s opinions right now. I think the

Joan, I feel like we’d all be happy to never do any Olivia Jade updates in the future. Do the articles featuring her even do that well? Do they get a lot of hits still? Because honestly this young woman is beyond boring; she’s very forgettable. I think we could do it if we tried really hard and worked together. By “do

Wario is evil, and the idea that unfettered greed and theft is “just simple honesty” strikes me as the cry of a capitalism apologist. Don’t get me wrong, I love Wario, but this is like saying “Gordon Gecko is just being American; he is, in fact, a patriot.”

The original Xbox doesn’t have much in common, but the Xbox 360 was basically a turbo charged Gamecube. It was triple core and 64 bit, but it was based on the Gamecube architecture. The PS3 was also very loosely based on the Gamecube’s architecture, but Cell had a huge number of changes over the Gamecube’s CPU.

Kotaku covered all those and I was surprised there were no links to that.
