Just finished watching The Big Sleep, for maybe the fourth or fifth time, but the first in quite a while. What a tremendous movie.
Oh my goodness Dorothy Malone.
And oh my goodness gracious Lauren Bacall.
And how the hell is it that Sonia Darrin (née Paskowitz) strode out of the 21st century into a movie released in 1946?
(Sonia Paskowitz is still alive and lives in my neighborhood. Which means I've got a chance!)
It's utterly preposterous that Martha Vickers as Carmen Sternwood is the fourth (or fifth?) most entrancing woman in this movie, but here we are. God, the casting in this thing is astonishing.

Bernie's quote denying the CNN story—“It is ludicrous to believe that at the same meeting where Elizabeth Warren told me she was going to run for president, I would tell her that a woman couldn't win."—strikes me as entirely reasonable.
Is it possible he said something that could be interpreted as carrying that broad meaning? Sure. But whether it was bad would depend on the specifics of what he said, and we don't even have an allegation as to the precise specifics of what he said.
It also seems unlikely, by the way, that this leak was orchestrated by the Warren campaign. To me it has the feel—and the sourcing—of a pretty low-level rumor.

Poll in next tweet: Which word best describes the color on the left in the first photo, and the color of the card in the second?
What color are they?
Second question: Is it accurate or inaccurate to describe the color as mauve?

The biggest problem I have with my name is that my name, as listed on most official documents, is a name that I don't use in social or professional settings.
Angus is my middle name, but though it's the name my parents, friends, family, any everyone else who's ever known me has always called me, people who read my name from a form often call me a different name.
Which is one of the big reasons that I let my students tell me what name they'd prefer to be called, rather than defaulting to the name on the form and forcing them to correct me.

"Ouch, ouch, ugghhh please be more gentle with me!" Kaminari hissed and whined and Kirishima carefully lowered him on one of the benches in the inn, paying extra attention not to dislodge the bandages.

"That was *literally* just an arrow in your thigh."
Bakugou rolled his eyes at all the unneccessary - in his opinion - bemoaning.

"Well, it might kinda suck -"

"Just because you two are completely bonkers over fighting and 'oh, an arrow's nothing, wanna see my Basilisk scars?" Kaminari parroted, not at all amused.

Yes, finished watching #SacredGamesSeason2 yesterday. My review of the 'nuclear side' of the plot...

#SpoilerAlert

First up, missed the edginess of Season 1. The reason the show got my interest was an attention to detail coupled with an edgy script...
Season 1 had ended rather well indeed, I was really hoping to see how they develop the script around the plot of a mass terrorist attack on Mumbai, using a WMD - a nuclear device.

Unfortunately, the writers seem to have lost the plot and instead of focusing on...
... what could have been a nice potboiler, focussed their energy on past (and current) affairs commentary. They paired that with the 'cult' gimmick. Pretty lame.

Thus the failings when it came to the main plot are quite glaring indeed.

Thread on Hymens, Virginity and Female Sexuality!
Since there seem to be lots of misconceptions about virginity, hymens and female sexuality going around, it'll be good if we could discuss some FACTS about this from a medical perspective.
Fact #0- Contrary to popular belief, the hymen is NOT a flat piece of tissue covering the vagina, which is punctured during intercourse. If it were, girls would not be able to menstruate before they lose their virginity because there would be no outlet for menstrual blood.
Fact #1- Having one's hymen torn does NOT equate to losing one's virginity - assuming the broadest definition for losing virginity, i.e having penetrative intercourse with another person (vaginal penetration by a partner for females)
