You guys see any Axe body spray on this list? No? Well then, STOP FUCKING BATHING YOURSELF IN IT BEFORE YOU LEAVE THE HOUSE!

Right on. It's much more impressive when an actor can make an imaginary person come alive and seem real and make you care about them, and it's these performances that should be recognized and honored, but there is a certain role that is like a cheat code for the Oscars and this year it was Redmayne miming Hawking. He

The ultimate ambition of Eddie Redmayne's performance as Stephen Hawking is to contort his body convincingly enough to make other able-bodied people think "Wow! By the end I really believed he was a cripple!" Our attitudes to disability should have evolved past the stage when this mimicry is considered worthy of our

Eddie Redmayne??? Eddie Redmayne???!!!!! That one, to me, was the biggest eyeroll of the night.

Except Eddie Redmayne... that's a joke

nope totally a slytherin with few hufflepufffy sensibilities

counter point to you both:

Whenever I see a woman wearing a hijab I always make sure to smile and give her a "sup?" head nod if we make eye-contact. I'm in the deep South, and although there are a few mosques in the area, one has been torched and burned to the ground within the last ten years. The area isn't openly hostile, but there's that

Nope nope nope. Unless you are one of the people walking around Chapel Hill in the Hijab, (and if you are, I will promptly get off my high horse,) you should recognize that your understanding of how Islamaphobia is experienced in your area is limited by the fact that you are not, in fact, experiencing it. Simply

Most of the very famous atheists are militantly Islamophobic but are basically celebrated as outspoken freedom fighters. I don't know where you got the idea that atheists can't be anti-religious, racist psychopaths because that's not the world we're living in unfortunately.

This was inevitable after every white person in the western world treated the right to insult Muslims like it was THE civil rights issue of the 21st century.

Bigotry is often hidden behind so-called "progressive" or "secular" arguments.

I await with bated breath Bill Maher's inevitable call for all "moderate atheists" to stand up and condemn this vile act - and if they don't, we'll know that they stand with this vile terrorist.

At the risk of being That Person: so a white man can't get indicted for killing an unarmed black man, but an Asian-American man can...?

I'm probably not a member of that family you mention, but I was one of the many refugees fleeing the war in South Vietnam (yes, South Vietnam, not Vietnam since it didn't exist back in '75 when I left as a 4 year old refugee days before Saigon fell; there was a South Vietnam and a North Vietnam and I have family on

Honestly, I hate this nonsense. "Most women agonize". Oh do they? Must they? It's a "painful ordeal"? Why do we have to spread this business that it's mentally anguishing? I suspect that many women have an abortion and are nothing but relieved. And that's totally fine.

I'm so sorry for you. They sound wretched.
