If only people didn't lie about being raped and delegitimize real victims. That's the real tragedy.

The Rolling Stone story, and people who refuse to listen to any rational skeptecism of public allegations of crimes like rape, stand in the way of the justice and accountability that they genuinely intend to seek.

Part of proving any crime is fully investigating all possible scenarios, including scenarios where the crime didn't happen. Fully and rationally dealing with skepticism is what we should want if the goal is justice for rape victims. Its the same reason why we should want the best possible lawyers to provide an…

Yes, and when Juliet says "wherefore art thou Romeo," we should correctly interpret that as her asking where Romeo is. Sorry, no. That's just a lazy reading of the song. It's crystal clear that the woman in the song wants to stay, and it's the prudish social expectations of the day that she's trying to reconcile with…

Nope. It's not that a guy pressuring a woman to stay over was okay in the 30s but now it's frowned upon, so the song is therefore iffy. It's that the song was never about a guy pressuring a woman to stay over—it's about a woman trying to persuade herself that it's worth the side-eye she gets to do this thing she…

"Baby, It's Cold Outside," which everybody who has turned 16 has discovered sounds a little bit like an ode to a midwinter's date rape (in recent years, contrarians have argued, fruitlessly, that this is not the case and that we should all go back to loving it, but that hasn't stopped the association).

Because we want a ticket that could actually win?

If a DINO like Obama/Clinton can barely get traction with the lunatic wing of the American voter, what hope does a moderate progressive like Franken have?

I liked the movie, but... man is it depressing. I feel like it's one of those films where most people really didn't grok how depressing it really is (like Fight Club, where everyone turns into what they claim to hate). Lots of those subversive 90s movies are like that, really— party/crazy images, but really sad…

I think in this case this poor woman needs psychiatric help more than she needs OB/GYNs. I also think her family needs to intervene, because taking time away from medically necessary visits in the ER to have your 20th ultrasound is beyond ridiculous and awful.

I've been seeing Facebook posts by a woman that I knew in high school, and she seems to have IAD. Reading the posts is just painful, because every single one is an update about her health. About her new symptoms, about all the doctors who are wrong, about her self-diagnoses, about the fact that she was dying, about…

It's sad really. And I have to agree with her doctors. I do think she needs psychiatric treatment. This is akin to being a hypochondriac or Munchausens.

Spoiler alert: She's not pregnant.

As someone in mental health I do sort of feel for the ultrasound tech. While normally an argumentative patient does not warrant that person being committed, we don't know the details of how Ruby acted. That said, these "phantom" pregnancies occur and dealing with them is akin to dealing with other conditions such as…

Their pet platypus has a UTI.

and hell's bells, just imagine the challenges that cloaca presents.

COCOGHAZI

why cant anyone spell cocoa

I'd be careful. Based on the way this dude spells "coco" he might be another sock puppet for the guy(s) posting for homeless sex slaves from earlier today.

She likes tacky cups, he can't spell cocoa. HOW COULD THESE TWO KIDS NOT MAKE IT WORK.
