What about popping baby zits? My kid has baby acne (totally normal, they tell me) and he has a couple of white heads just begging to be squeezed. The pediatrician says to leave them alone and they clear up eventually. We do, but man what a test of will power.

For anybody thinking about babies, I strongly urge you to look up paternity leave laws in your state and cross-reference the with what your company's policy on such leave is (easier if your HR person is more useful than a fucking oscillating fan with a wig on [mine was not]), because paternity leave is not anywhere…

First-time fathers-to-be, if your wife is breastfeeding, she's probably going to pump. This is good because it allows you to feed the kid so she can get some sleep before she hallucinates that she's fighting in the Battle of the Bulge and your penis is an attacking Nazi soldier. If she pumps, you may be tempted to…

And he was an alchemist as well, which is entirely the point: science is about evidence and reason, not the people who find the evidence or do the reasoning. There's a reason we still use the Principia to this day but treat Newton's work on Bible codes and base metal transformation as nothing more than biographical…

Sorry you feel that way, but creationism is ridiculous; it's nothing but arguments from ignorance backed by a desperate scrabble to poke holes in real science, as if that somehow proves god.

"Your closed minded disregard of opposing beliefs and contemptuous treatment of any person or argument against evolution highlights your hypocrisy and undermines your legitimacy."

You're so right - how could I have been so blind. The Earth really is flat. I was blinded by all that evidence, when I should have just been accepting people who told me it was flat. How close-minded and contemptuous of me!

No, it is completely ridiculous to suggest that religious beliefs need equal exposure or whatever on a show about science. It's preposterous to suggest that a show should have to provide time to opposing beliefs, especially when said beliefs are not based on evidence, which is exactly what Cosmos is about.

You're being way too generous by assuming free will. Honestly, just read through the entire ITUC report. A lot of the workers who arrive in Qatar do so expecting to get good jobs and live in nice places, because that's what the recruiters tell them will be there, only to get their passports seized before getting…

I didn't say any argument. I said creationism. It is ridiculous and it should be ridiculed. 1000 years from now my argument will be the same as it is today: evidence and reason get a place at the table, superstition and myth get ridiculed.

When there's evidence to support creationism, I'll listen to it. There…

Yes, but at the end of the day, will knowing who won between Iowa St. and UNC have any tangible affect on anyone's lives?

Needs more FatBoy Slim.

if it stops gawker from changing the kinja layout again, i'm all for it.

1. Neither the level of misogyny in the song nor the level of shame that the copyright older feels about the song diminishes their rights or their ownership in the song.

1) It's still the Beastie's song. And, according to Goldiebox, they were doing the commercial as a "comment" on the song. So it's very much about the Beastie's work and intent, regardless of the company re-recording the song.

Commercial use has consistently been a major factor weighing against a finding of fair use. While there is no bright line rule that a commercial use can NEVER be fair use, GoldieBlox's defense in this case is extremely weak. They are clearly the "bad guy" here, not the rights holders.

Whatever "avid interest" is, it clearly doesn't necessarily involve actually following a sport
