In defense of Toy Biz - Despite all the crappy cheap 12" figures they cranked out in the late ‘90s, they did make one of the most definitively awesome 12" toys in the form of the deluxe Spider-Man 2 from 2004.

Scientologists tend to vote Republican due to their assumption that since the GOP is more religion-friendly, the “church” of Scientology is less likely to be investigated for their various abuses and/or have their tax-exempt status revoked.
The chances of Scientology’s US tax-exempt status being revoked or even investigated is probably nil under the Trump administration, but hopefully it will happen someday.
Holy disingenuousness, Batman!
You may joke about the ASMR connection (and admittedly, much of the breathy, whispering ASMR videos on YouTube are quite mockable), but ever since I was a child, watching someone’s hands as they did meticulous, detailed drawing would send tingly, relaxing chills up my neck and scalp. I didn't even know how to describe…
I haven’t seen the deleted TBS video, and I have to admit that I’m not really familiar with Hillary’s laugh. The outdated stereotype of the woman being quiet and dainty seems plausible in terms of adding an offensive element to the joke. Thanks for clarifying.
The anti-Hillary tweet indeed sounds very infantile, poorly-thought out and just generally dumb. BUT —- how exactly is making fun of someone’s laugh “sexist”? Particularly if that someone is a high-profile politician? I’m asking out of geniune curiousity, not a troll-quest.

I seem to recall Chaka Khan being a Scientologist. If she’s going into rehab for fentanyl abuse (which Scientology’s so-called “technology” apparently didn’t help her avoid very well), I hope it’s a legitimate rehab facility and not anything related to Scientology’s “Narconon” rehab scam.

Based on the Twitter account name, @WBCjael , it is the account of Jael Phelps, one of the older Phelps grandaughters who has been prominently featured in the Louis Theroux documentaries on the Westboro Church.
Yeah, that run-on made my eyes hurt too. The fact that it was yet another YA novel that she’s trying to promote made me even less sympathetic towards her than her questionable sentence structure.
That ban, more than anything, underscores the difference between the FLDS and the mainstream Mormon Church—- married sex and chocolate are pretty much the only things that regular Mormons are allowed to enjoy in life.

Obligatory...
I think even tiny tyrannical Scientology leader David Miscavige knows he’d better not fuck with Leslie.
Oh, that’s where we parked it!
Perhaps Kirstie was shopping in TJ’s when her amazing Scientology powers suddenly alerted her to the fact that her dog was getting sick in the car. You know, sort of a “disturbance in the Force” kind of thing.
I knew that Barbara Palvin’s criss-cross top and trouser outfit reminded me of something from classic Star Trek ...
This egregious error would never have happened on io9.
Perhaps she’s assumed she’s already some sort of show business legend after getting a wax figure of herself inexplicably displayed at Madame Tussauds.
