Depends on your tastes. It’s sort of Nancy Drew mystery plus high school drama plus a smidge of film noir. If you like Buffy the Vampire Slayer, VM has similar witty dialogue but without any supernatural elements. Kristen Bell is excellent in the girl detective role (even though I do think it’s funny that people still

Yes, as a PWD, I’m feeling kind of cynical about the reactions to this. I guess this incident helps define the limits of what crimes against the disabled are deemed acceptable by the abled and which aren’t. Mass knifings = bad, but “poor overwhelmed parent” of disabled child killing said child = lots of sympathy for

Yeah, I’ve always had the impression that she gets way too much credit for being cool simply because she was lucky enough to land the role of Veronica Mars. Admittedly, she did a good job playing that role, but obviously she’s not really that character.

This fashion trend recurs from time to time. I think it’s meant to literalize that phrase often used in articles puff pieces about models and actresses “She would look good in a potato sack.”

Why aren’t you at the RNC with all the other backwards white people who support white supremacy without admitting it exists? (If you’re a POC, you should have stopped emulating Stacey Dash years ago)

I’ve got a better shirt:

Really wish there was some way to make people like this experience real consequences. My friend and I were discussing this and came up with a reality tv show idea: rich men who are known rapists, sexual harrassers, pedophiles, domestic abusers, etc, are sent to a Survivor-style location with a harsh climate. The men

Good. Now he can’t see to put drugs in anyone’s drink.

Plagiarism is bad enough, but she (or her speechwriters) stole the words specifically of a woman whose family her husband has spoken of with racist vitriol for years.

Not that this is something his mother would ever acknowledge, but there is a connection between domestic violence and violence on a larger scale

If you’re only an “ally and a feminist” so long as women somehow “earn” that from you by placating you and pacifying your ego, you were never either of those things to begin with. The reality most women live with is that men are often physically, verbally and/or emotionally violent towards us. Get over yourself long

I like Planned Parenthood’s version of the TrumpPence logo:

Mosley’s misogyny seems to get worse, or at least become more evident, with every book. Easy’s tenderness with his daughter—and even her name for that matter—are just the flip side of viewing all/most women as whores and golddiggers

Yet another round in the endless game of “everyone needs someone to look down on.” Mathers apparently derives all her sense of identity/personal worth from fitting the current mold of “hotness.” So naturally she needs to believe women who don’t fit that mold have less value.

Dammit, ladeez, men are like hurricanes, or tornadoes or any other type of disaster-creating, act-of-God weather front. Nothing you can do to change the course of the Beaufort scale 12 penis headed your way except battening down your vaginal hatches by donning a toothed chastity belt beneath a long flannel nightgown

Horrible but not surprising. I think a lot of people assume Bill Cosby’s actions were unusual, when the truth is behavior ranging anywhere from sexual harassment to outright rape has long been seen as one of the perks of fame & power. If you could get Ailes and other men to speak honestly about their actions, they’d

If what happened to Philando Castile happened to a white gun owner (yes, I know, huge leap of imagination necessary to picture that), the NRA would be protesting 24/7 at the police station, the governor’s office, and the home of the police officer involved.

Given his age, and the fact that the statute of limitations has run out on most of his crimes, seems unlikely he’ll ever serve time. At this point, I hope some of his victims who haven’t come forward yet disrupt any eulogies at his funeral by shouting out that he was a lying, evil rapist. Ideally, those three words

I suddenly feel a deep spiritual calling. How can I start a branch of this church in my state? (where the idea of legal medical marijuana, much less for-real legal weed like in CO & elsewhere is still a looong way away.)
