ok. I MAY know some things. And here is my basic thought. Tony can’t accomplish anything in the MCU without being a thoughtless dick about it. So does that jive with the idea that he takes him under his wing or mentors him or is actually helpful to him or teaches him how to be a hero? No. So don’t worry about Spidey,…

My grandfather insisted for years that Vanna White was my cousin, and we all just thought it was some weird story he liked to tell. He’d point at the TV whenever Wheel was on - look, it’s you’re cousin on TV! It wasn’t until he died that a relative called to offer condolences and passed along Vanna’s as well. It…

Everyone is clearly confused, there is only one way to properly respond to this feud. It is for Taylor to release a pop song that doesn’t suck and isn’t about the feud, but is clearly just a random single she recorded and released without it even being part of a larger album.

Wait, is Katy Perry being bullied by Taylor Swift because Taylor won’t allow any good songwriters to work with Perry anymore? Is that the bullying?

I agree with Trump that the democrats should call him up and start negotiations. Opening proposition: Universal healthcare. And then stand firm on that point basically forever. Ball will be in Trump’s court then. He can fund Obamacare or go big for universal healthcare. Problem solved.

As a pretty aggressive feminist I stepped in when my son wanted to be a princess and bought him the Ariel costume he wanted (he also has tons of trucks and other stereotypical boy things as well). If I had a daughter who wanted to be a princess, I’d also buy her one. It’s not the princess dress-up that matters, it’s…

My mother claimed for years, that it was “50 years old, and then I’m OUT.” She was adamant about it. Just absolutely refused to get. Even when her 50th birthday was coming up. Morning of her birthday, I give her a call and then head out on a weekend camping trip where there was zero phone service. I come back two days…

We’ve been so successful here with one author, I’m curious what would happen if we went full Vonnegut and started putting scientists in charge of the government. My only problem is that “Randian” sounds intellectual and catchy, what in god’s name do we call a Vonnegut political movement?

To be totally honest, my husband picked up on all of my flaws pretty quickly. I would love to compile a book of my flaws though. I love telling other people about the things I think are wrong with me. A guy once tried to subtly flirt with me once by telling me that he should look for a woman just like me (he was aware…

My take on the whole Kesha affair is that I respect her for trying to do this in a legal way, because I would definitely have snapped and murdered him by now. I mean, she’s given him a full album (30 songs), that he refuses to release. The fact that she has zero options for terminating the contract, and it can’t even…

Strong agree. It’s extraordinarily difficult to watch a woman talk about how awful pussies are, and to sort of ickily refer to what seems a little rapey (coming to from having blacked out drinking while a man is going down on her). I have no idea what she said after that, I couldn’t watch any more. And I’ve watched…

I’m curious what state you’re in, if you’re in one of the states that refused the Medicare expansion or if your state has an exceptionally high rate of illness or too little competition, etc.

Like, look. I’m not a Kesha stan. I’m not even a fucking Kesha FAN. But for the love of all that’s holy, Dr. Luke, you’ve already basically proven yourself 100% guilty of being some kind of abuser by holding her to this contract and refusing to release the album she submitted a year ago. Like, I normally would assume…

I don’t think guys get that when guys say “hey, you’re beautiful” to women they don’t know, and we feel awkward about it, it’s because it’s implied that we now owe them something for the compliment. A minute to talk, or our attention, or a thank you. It’s like someone handing you an ice cream cone and holding their…

I think you’re mistaking the desire for representation with identifying with a character. Desiring to see characters that “look like them” isn’t about identifying with that character or not identifying with other characters, it’s about getting a clear message that they exist as part of a society, and aren’t lesser…

You’re missing out on The Crown. It sounds stuffy, but as far as I can tell, it’s about a young woman who is trying to be responsible for a country or whatever while being married to a hot, insouciant, pouty duke who constantly suggests she blow off her responsibilities. Which is, kinda of hot, in all honesty.

The context here that is super-important to know about Amazon is that they LITERALLY have no idea what they’re doing in television. I work in entertainment and have met a bunch of their execs, and while they’re sweet and I think, individually intelligent, their system is set up to be toxic to most television programs.…
