What about Veronica Lake? I feel like Blake Lively was born to channel Veronica Lake for a fashion editorial, don't you?

Swift's basically been photoshopped into an hollow, meaningless arrangement of pixels, but even with that, I'm kinda jazzed about the concept for the photo. It's such a goddamn giddy pleasure to see a magazine photo shoot reference an actress that isn't Marilyn Monroe or Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn.

Over a quarter of people in the Candian arctic live in extreme food poverty, meaning that they often go for days without eating. 70% of kids in Nunavut live in a household that struggles with some sort of food insecurity. A single cabbage costs $28. An ordinary loaf of bread costs $13. Shipping, storage and…

There are worse things to be. I mean, the world is shit and life is short. Why not fight the encroaching darkness with pumpkin cookies and a slightly manic smile? It's what I'd do if I could unclench my grip on this 2-quart bottle of bourbon.

Oh it's SO much fun! Kermode and Mayo are really interesting—two straight blokey blokes who have a movie review show on BBC 5Live, a mainly sports-focused radio station. You'd think that they'd be a couple of cro-magnon bro-dudes, but no. They're both incredibly progressive, gay-positive, openly feminist men who…

Speaking of acknowledging shitty movies, I just listened to last week's really wonderful interview of Nicole Kidman on the BBC's Kermode & Mayo podcast, and I was so completely charmed by her. When Simon Mayo asked her about the incredible, eye-bulging awfulness of Grace of Monaco, she didn't get defensive or make any…

Whoa. That's eye opening! Thanks for posting.

My friend is a psych professor and she uses almost the exact lesson in her first lecture each semester.

If you have an interest in astrology, this explanation of why it works is really fascinating. It's about eight minutes long, but genuinely worth your time.

I don't really know anything about Iggy Azalea or her injectables, but Jez used this picture of her at the same event for the Tweet Beat last night, and her mouth looks quite different than in the shot above. I think she looks like a beautiful alien. It's kind of mesmerising.

You are unhinged.

The risk is low in Canada because other people have been responsible. It isn't magic and milk thistle that are keeping your son safe.

Hey, maybe you're right. Maybe she IS that impressively powerful. But seeing that so much of the tabloid coverage of her is wildly unflattering and insulting, you'd think she'd use her evil powers to make 'em publish better stories. Compelling magazines to produce endless pieces about how desperate and old and lonely…

No. The risk of not vaccinating vastly outweighs the risk of vaccination side-effects. To refuse that reality is to delude yourself. And it puts not only your child in danger, it threatens other people's children too. Please look carefully at the massive library of research that confirms that fact over and over and…

Neglecting to vaccinate your son IS actively doing harm to him. You are putting him at real risk. The vast preponderance of children are kept immune to hideously debilitating illnesses by vaccines. No medical treatment is without some degree of risk for patients, but properly-administered vaccines have been proven…

Getting ready to sneeze! That is goddamn wonderful, and the best description of tabloid picture editing I've ever heard.

That seems like a fairly elaborate and dastardly scheme for someone who's widely known to be fully dedicated to the happy arts of weed smoking and margarita drinking.

It's a hideous quirk of human psychology that makes us refuse to believe that something can happen until it does. We trick our own minds. Reality is such a fucker.

Alas! We shall not see eye-to-eye on this particular point. Quick, let's find something nice to agree upon! Let's see, let's see. Puppies! Puppies are lovely, aren't they? Awww, who doesn't like puppies?

Yes! The bright-eyed ingenue thing certainly has appeal, but it's not the only way to be, right? I don't really understand why all actresses have to approach their work in the same way. What an incredibly tedious professional strait-jacket. I'm not a mad Kristen Stewart fan (I think she's decent-to-good, with…
