Private animal rescue groups can be simply the worst bunch of people ever. When I was looking for a dog, I remember being asked really invasive questions about my reproductive future (like the next 10 years?!) because they didn't feel that I could have both children and a pet. I've heard of people being turned down…

If my parents had been the ones to adopt this dog, then found out what happened, there would have been an "I'm sorry, kids, the right thing to do is give this dog back to its owners." The fact that they're not giving her back means they are just as shitty as the people in the shelter who made the decision.

Am I the only one who doesn't find this show the least bit funny?

Boring he may be, but am I the only one who thinks he looks like a lion?

Once, in a undergrad classroom discussion of cultural appropriation, a white male peer of mine (I'm quarter Onondaga, three quarters Euro-mutt) responded to my raising of this issue with, "I think Native Americans have bigger things to worry about than headdresses." Yes, clearly we do when white people are willing to…

I actually got a good laugh off of this. I was just watched Jurassic Park again last night, and it struck me how out of place Jeff Goldburg looked doing "sexy model pose" in the middle of impending doom from carnivorous dinos.

I'm really against it, but I've been contemplating going to the tanning booth. I will give anything to feel something sun-like and summeresque for a MOMENT OF MY LIFE.

I love Popeye's!!!! My dad and I used to sneak some when we went out without my mom. Way way better than that crap they have at KFC (from which I've gotten awful food poisoning).

My ultimate guilty pleasure are the McDonald's hashbrowns. I haven't had them since high school, but I love them so much. I now have an intense craving for McDonald's. THANKS, OBAMA.

I agree, based on my own life experience - I held two main types of jobs, lab research and teaching. Both of them required me to be at my job in person. There's no such thing as work-from-home tissue culture or centrifuging, etc, and I had 50+ students who paid $$$ tuition waiting to see me in person every day. My…

Yeah, I mean, not a parent, but it seems like the benefit of working from home vs office is that you're closer to your kids' daycare/school/extracurriculars and have a more flexible schedule to arrange around doctors visits and stuff, vs actually having the kids at home while you're supposedly working. If someone is…

Was anyone else distracted by the fact the guy Rick kills was sitting on the toilet with his pants on?

As a nerd, I just can't escape the feeling that hipsters are emulating me in order to make fun of me.

What about within the "hipster" group itself? Surely these bearded guys wearing the same flannel shirts look around and have enough self-reflection to realize "holy cow, I look just like everyone else here!" I mean, I certainly was capable of that during my goth days and felt very guilty about my conformity. Does…

Can we please stop painting parenting as the only way to get "the highest highs" in life? It's extremely self-righteous and condescending to those who don't want kids, and a knife to the heart of those that do but are having fertility issues. People are different and varied and value different things. You do you &…

I saw this movie when I was in high school, and although I liked it, I could not understand how people didn't get this! Troy is a narcissist. Michael is a nice person. Troy had zero redeeming qualities.

Well, we can still do some Lab work.
