Yeah I guess you're right. It just didn't occur to me that that would have set people off. In my head, he just found another stupid phrase that rhymed.

A few of the earnest tweets against Colbert using the #CancelColbert hashtag referenced not only racism towards Asian people, but also transphobia.

You must have missed the point where I said she likely couldn't have afford the medicine even if she didn't cut her hair for two years...

Is it Monica or Monika? Is it Glam Runner or Glam Runners?

I've seen a lot of people in the comments who are half-heartedly judging Gilbert for getting that $87 haircut rather than buying her prescriptions. To that I say, we have NO IDEA how much money her prescriptions cost and if we are to assume that they are like normal prescriptions, they have to be filled every month.

Money. Mystery solved.

My only question is why this seemingly really cool thing is valued at $2B when WhatsApp was valued at $19B. I don't understand you, Facebook.

There was actually a great article / explainer published on Elle.com yesterday about the phrase "Conscious Uncoupling": http://www.elle.com/news/culture/g…

Haha you know I guess I never thought of that but I followed up with my friend who assured me that this restaurant kept the red wine cool but not chilled (so I assume in the 60 degree range) and this person wanted it ice cold.

A red wine should be served between 60 and 65 degrees. That's how most people serve it. I would not consider that "warm" by any stretch of the imagination, but it's also not "chilled".

"They sound the same when they're live!"

Haha, fair! I bet my 8 year old brain just turned his long winded response into something more succinct.

Yeah but you wouldn't yell at the server about it! You would probably say something very kind, like, "I would like the Chianti, but I actually prefer it chilled. Would you mind popping it in the freezer for a minute?" rather than screaming at my friend like he did something wrong by serving you red wine at room temp.…

I just give all things the only acceptable name to give things, Doug E. Doug.

A friend who served at a moderately nice family restaurant told me that once he had a customer yell at him because the red wine he poured for them wasn't cold enough. He had to take the bottle to the kitchen and pop it in the freezer for a few minutes and the line cooks were, apparently, dying over the ordeal.

In the third grade, we were supposed to write a paper on, dress up as, and give a speech as a famous figure from history. At the time, my family lived on a street named Barton, so my mom recommended I do my project on Clara Barton. Out of the 25 girls in my grade, I was one of two who did her project on a woman. My…

The only woman mentioned in this piece that I am not familiar with is the one who made it into the text books. I feel weird.

Yes. Good. I have no other response.

Right? Science/evolution/the Cosmos - these are the coolest things ever! Why wouldn't we want to attribute these "miracles" to the higher power?
