@sarijuana: Oh I don't think Penn was actually mocking anybody. I just mean that when I see a non-disabled person pretending to be an intellectually disabled person, it makes me think of schoolyard meanness. I think this is especially true of intellectual disabilities because mockery of them is so widespread, people… Read more

@colormeroutine: I thought about this — I guess I just think that, where possible, disabled actors should have a shot, and maybe the disability should be written in or acknowledged in cases where it wouldn't change the plot too much. It wouldn't be that a deaf actor was pretending to be a hearing person, it would… Read more

@jigglyball: Sometimes when I want to make something really easy I just bake a whole sweet potato, cut it open, put some Parmesan on it, and eat it with toast. Not the most balanced meal ever, but awesomely tasty. #vegetariancooking Read more

@UnicornZiva: This doesn't work for vegans, but I love scrambled eggs with any sort of green veggie, or peppers. Super-filling and cheap. Also good (though more expensive): squash blossoms stuffed with goat cheese. Robin tried to make this on the show, and she made it look hard, but it's easy! And for vegans:… Read more

@dreamweave: Richmond's a rough place, but I'm not convinced this couldn't have happened someplace more affluent and safer-seeming. Not saying growing up in a high-crime area had no effect on the onlookers and rapists, but rape culture is, unfortunately, everywhere. #richmondgangrape Read more

@BeSarcastic: Clouthier offered one additional explanation — that women have enough problems without blogging. I didn't think this was totally fair to men, but it is kinda funny. #femalebloggers Read more

@morninggloria: My role as Tiresias in my high school production of Antigone means I am blind, psychic, and both male and female. #sarahpalin Read more

@debauch: I totally agree that my position is predicated on thinking that causing human suffering is worse than causing animal suffering. I do believe this. But I recognize it's an extremely debatable point, against which ethicists have made many valid arguments (as I mention in the post). I just happen not to agree… Read more

@JerkoftheMonth: I added this bit about Polanski — thanks for the headsup to everyone who mentioned it. #natalieportman Read more

@belle TL: Uh, judging from the preview, yeah! I think I remember a phrase like "but there's one thing the contestants DON'T KNOW!" And I think that thing is that they're cooking for a vegan. #natalieportman Read more

@HidingInCanada: The perpetrator here includes the culture that allowed this gang-rape to happen so openly. It doesn't take away from their guilt of the individual rapists (especially those who instigated this crime), but it certainly doesn't mean that we should consider our job done if we exact our revenge upon… Read more

@pantsless economist...access RESTORED: I'm not sure what killed boners look like (just flaccid?), but I'm pretty sure I'd prefer some cake. #religionflowchart Read more

@kansasgirl: Yeah, that's a good point. We don't really know much about her. My hope is that since authorities are now involved, she won't have to go back into an abusive situation if one exists. #runaways Read more

@morninggloria: Funny, the gorilla suit is how i fight crime. Crap, just revealed my secret identity. #joannelipman Read more

@girlgonemild: My headline is kind of a joke — and also I wanted to turn around the male-centric headlines of the Telegraph and BBC (which say "Men should..."). #marriage Read more

@LittleEdie: I'm not offended by him, I just think he misses the point. Yes, women would probably be happier if they could focus on work exclusively when at work. There are a lot of reasons they can't do that. Reasons that have more to do with society, in my view, than with women's individual decisions/cognitions. #ma… Read more

@snobographer: It got a mention, and a little pic, in among all the questions about whether Hilary Swank's life is completely perfect or, alternatively, totally sucks. #marieclaire Read more

@justcallmeangel: I know! Is this her sexy-face? I can't tell! #marieclaire Read more

@thecameralovesyou: Thanks for the tip! I amended the post. #tracyanderson Read more

@HannahBethD: I actually assume the ovaries DON'T come along for the ride, and that any children the recipient has would come from her own eggs, not a donors. But this is not directly addressed in the article, I'm just guessing. #wombtransplant Read more
