This is why I’d never want to be on Ellen’s show. I find pranks crass AF.

There’s a running joke in our (admittedly morbid) family about how the cleaning ladies are getting first crack at Mom’s purse collection because they’re inevitably going to be the first ones to discover her body and need something to compensate. ;D
Honestly, that’s why I loved Damian’s Charmed recaps on Television Without Pity. His vitriolic hatred of the show was incandescent, and a glory to behold. The last 2-3 recaps were liberally peppered with “and then some other stuff happened, but I don’t care, because CANCELED!!!!!!!1!!!” ^_^ Man I miss TWoP.

Relationship b.s. aside (christ what a dickweed Jondalar is), the books went a long way to leading me towards my archaeology major, so I can’t completely hate them. Auel did her research, and it’s delicious to me.
Half of me is “Oooo, interested!” and the other half is, “Wait, a dude wrote it. In the 80s. Hnnnnggggg, maybe not.”
I will say that unlike many of those classically weird 80s books, the original Clan of the Cave Bear’s rape scene was at least a) clearly part of the plot, b) not treated lightly, and c) was mercifully short and perfunctory. It’s made extremely clear that it is 100% a power play of Broud’s, and as soon as it stops…
Oddly enough, Rammstein has pretty darn awesome videos. Du Riecht So Gut and Rosenrot are fantastic, not to mention Sonne.
ugh I am SO EXCITED about this. Beyonce who? I’m in for Gondry. ;D
STARRED FOR HATARI! God, I would tap Hardy Kruger so thoroughly, his keg would be empty in seconds. Wait, that metaphor went weird... Those lips beg for kissin’, and Brandy is straight-up insane for going after Pockets.
In fairness, this is a 15-year-old kid mad that the girl who kept insinuating they were bf/gf in private kept jerking him around in public. I told him she’s not “friendzoning” you, she’s just being mean, and she’s not worth your energy. Sometimes people are just manipulative fuckwits, no matter their gender. ;) Kids…
Oh goodness, I’m not saying they aren’t by any means! My friend’s baby was so huge, he couldn’t get out - 100 years ago, she very definitely would have died without a c-section. (Well, 100 years ago, she would have probably died with one too.....)
That could also be part of it too. In myyy day (*obligatory cane wave*), c-sections were probably a helluva lot more dicey than the comparatively routine and safe procedures they are today, so knowing how to handle a breech birth the ‘regular’ way was still worthy of teaching.
The point I was making was only in regards to breech babies, not all of them, certainly! Sorry to be muddy on that!
I was born backwards and upside down back in the 70s, and was a “famous baby” in the hospital because the doc didn’t do a c-section with me. The doc was all, “she’s fine, heartbeat strong, there’s zero reason to cut the mom open.”
