The snark-worthy part of this article isn’t the part the author chose to call out, which is super frustrating. The jump from “men are more comfortable” to “healthier outcomes for women and babies” is the snarkable part. I am very familiar with the research here and let me tell you, it is *thin.* It’s mostly based on…

I first watched A Walk in the Clouds as a kid because my sisters rented the movie, but I have always liked it.So nice romantic love interest Paul Sutton for me.

Johnny Utah? Anybody?

It’s a bit of a surreal experience watching Jim Cummings playing a guy who suddenly descends from hero to villain, so soon after the real life bullshit around him started really popping up. Disney’s in a bit of a pickle here regarding whether to keep him on, and I don’t envy the person in charge of that decision.

I was a kid in the 90s, and I absolutely loved Darkwing Duck. So I squealed a bit during the episode, particularly at the Drake Mallard name, and the final reveal.

In another universe, Chris Pratt is a youth pastor somewhere in eastern Washington that all the girls in youth group have deeply repressed feelings about.

Sufjan Stevens is surely the ultimate here, and the low-hanging fruit is his description of god in Casimir Pulaski Day: “He takes and he takes and he takes.” But I’ll go with Should Have Known Better from Carrie & Lowell when he says “My brother had a daughter; the beauty that she brings, illumination,” like he’s…

This show is explicitly about Sabrina rejecting the patriarchal system of hell. Are you saying patriarchy shouldn’t be depicted in the media?

Hey, MD - not sure if you, Kinja, or thetallblonde themselves deleted their comment, but it was valid and I think it should be here. I definitely don’t always agree with the tone some Jez authors take, but I understand the inclination toward sarcasm/flippancy in the specific cases you mentioned.

As a child my granda would be up early - crack of dawn early - and start banging on her piano singing gospel so she could get “a little closer to Jesus” before church. We’d all groan and try to not hear but she’d wake us and all the neighbors.

She was also tapped to cover for Pavarotti when he was sick before the 1988 Grammies. Here’s her Puccini:

Most recent champion was a re-release of Akali, now with even less clothing...

Gee, it’s funny... you don’t see a lot of rugged survalists living in hostile alien environments who manage to have runway model figures, pristine moisturized skin, fashionably tousled hair, and glossy pink lipstick...

No, it’s really not disingenous at all to point out that one of their most recent female champions which was billed as a rugged survivalist ended up being transformed into a fetish doll.

Not remotely suprising. A quick look at the female characters in LoL itself tells you tons about their mindset toward women.

I worked on contract for a week for Lehman Brothers in IT in Denver. At the end of my first week the boss told me on monday AM i would have to drive to Omaha to install a network and then be back on thursday. I asked him if i was getting mileage and lunch on the company. I was fired in an hour for “challenging” him as…

Great news. I used to work for Starbucks and I made it clear to my shift supervisor during closings that I would only work when clocked in.

I worked on a cartoon that ended up with us doing overtime till 10pm or more.
In the end, production claimed they had no idea people were having to stay late when people asked about overtime pay. Yet they had the technology to jump on our ass every time we came in late (usually the day after the overtime on 5 hours…

Locking doors, then stumbling upon a mess someone didn’t clean up, then trying to decide if you need to clock out on time in order not to get in trouble and questioned why you were on the clock overtime (but not getting overtime pay) because you’re trying to make the building presentable for the morning crew and up to…
