Ugh. I have a headache. I’m so sick of everyone else being wrong. Even more, I’m so sick of everyone not realizing that I’m always right. Excuse me, but why the hell would I SAY SOMETHING if it were wrong? Why would I write it for everyone to see? Why would I put it out there to be criticized where I would look bad? Why would I misinform people? I wouldn’t do those things. ... »
Hey…. so I’m a little distracted today. Over at Mad Art Lab (and subsequently everywhere else on the internet) Ryan is wearing his Slave Leo costume, a male version of Slave Leia. It’s pretty amazing. So I thought we’d talk about sex. When I was in high school we had comprehensive sex ed. It was helpful and informative, but even as good as it was, it still emphasized abstin... »
Last May, I had my stomach removed. Well, not all of it. There’s a small portion, smaller than a small egg, left. But the rest was taken away. Short story: I was supposed to just go in for a regular old gastric bypass but then they found a tumor and instead of bypassing the organ, my doctor removed it completely. And now I live in this weird world where I had a surgery I wanted and am gettin... »
Last night, a bunch of never before seen extras on Fox’s show Glee performed an unaccredited cover of Jonathan Coulton’s cover of Sir Mix A Lot’s Baby Got Back. When confronted with the outrage of a million angry geeks on Twitter, Glee was all “yeah, but it’s a cover of a cover. BFD. Besides, EXPOSURE AND SHIT, YO. Coulton should be THANKING us.” And JoCo was all “Fuck you. It’s not exposure if y... »
Being a skeptic can be overwhelming, especially when you’re a skeptic who wants to make things happen. You want to fix the world, but there’s so much to fix, and there’s only one you and there’s so many of them. Cancer quacks, anti-vaxxers, psychics, ghost hunters, Oprah, Republicans, your mother-in-law… where do you even start? Some days, I’m burnt out before I... »
Earlier today, an MRA site posted a list of the 9 Ugliest Feminists in America. Don’t bother clicking because… yeah… also because the site is currently crashed. Basically, a dude who is so handsome he can only be depicted as a cartoon lest everyone die from orgasm should his actual photo ever be published, took a list of outspoken feminists and declared them ugly and the world wa... »
One of my least best kept secrets is that I love horrible TV. Most of the TV I watch, I watch because I hate it. Which I enjoy doing. And I have no idea why. I’ve watched every episode of Jersey Shore as well as Snooki&JWoww. I watched the last several seasons of 7th Heaven. I watch Glee and Nashville and Catfish, amused with horror and confusion. Sometimes I’m not even sure if I&#... »
The last few days have been somber here in the Mofo house. My son, Moose, is 5, making him just about the same age as most of the victims at Sandy Hook. This shooting is affecting me in ways I couldn’t even imagine. I mean, it’s rarely not sad when a kid dies, but when it’s not something that immediately affects me, I pause, think about how sad it is, then move on. Sandy Hook has... »
