Happy Monday everyone! Who watched Breaking Bad last night? If you want, dish in the comments. (Also, now I need another show to fill in the empty place in my heart.)
- Xbox One Presenter Humiliated Me on Stage, Says Transgender Journalist – “Laura Kate Dale, who is a transgender woman, says she was called ‘he,’ ‘it,’ ‘thing’ and ‘this one,’ by the presenter […] .”
- ‘Made in space!’ Astronaut sews dinosaur toy from space station scraps – This is too neat! From Mindy.
- The @SATC3quel Account Nails Carrie’s Voice Over – I used to watch SATC and this made me laugh so hard.
- A Muslim Prosecutor in Britain, Fighting Forced Marriages and Honor Crimes – ” ‘When men like Afzal speak up about violence against women, it has much more resonance in Asian and African communities,’ she said. ‘When we women speak up, we are often dismissed as westernized and no longer speaking for the community.’ ” From CriticalDragon1177.
Mary,
I’m not really interested in Breaking Bad. I’ve never really watched the show, but a bunch of my brother’s friends, came over last night to watch the final episode.
SPACE DINOSAUR
Is it just me, or does the last one kind of remind you of: http://www.theonion.com/articles/man-finally-put-in-charge-of-struggling-feminist-m,2338/
Apparently, Australians last night set a new all time record for illegal downloads of the final Breaking Bad episode!
Sadly, I was not among them and I have yet to see season 3 of GOT:(
Let’s just say we are so SICK of being kept waiting for months or years and being ripped off pricewise to see the latest movies and TV series.
(Finally put this comment in the right place, I hope…!)
(raises hand) I loved the Breaking Bad finale! I miss the show already.
That’s a great article about the prosecutor. “Mr. Afzal helped set up a national hot line for women at risk of forced marriage — something the United States government is talking to him about duplicating — and he is working with the Home Office to criminalize the practice.” That’s a great idea, we should do that.
Spouse and I channeled our inner POTFY* and watched the Breaking Bad marathon all weekend in preparation for the finale. It was so worth it. Sorry, kids, it had to be done.

AAAGHHH, stop it, I’m so jealous! Tears of jealousy! I love Breaking Bad! :)
