People are upset that Monopoly, the capitalist game that functions on corporate greed, is charging money to be included on the board?

I have a word a day app on my phone. Today the word was 'Jiggery-pockery' which means trickery; hocus-pocus; fraud; humbug. But I feel we can all agree the language of origin was probably racism.

Kanye West has started a collaboration with Taylor Swift. It may take a while to get out of the studio though because every time she starts singing Kanye bursts in takes the mic and says he should have collaborated with Beyonce.

Really, they shouldn't announce nominees for the Psychic of the year award. The only way one should be able to accept is if you just show up to collect it and your name is on the prewritten card.

I don't know if you've ever wanted to wipe your ass with Taylor Swift lyrics but she has quelled that opportunity for you. By trademarking lyrics from her 1989 album.

The list of items where lyrics can't appear is pretty obscure; including items like whalebone, walking sticks (I'd say the triple J debate has put an end to the idea that old people like them some T-swizzle), whips and harnesses, and non-medicated toiletries.

But remember Swift, wipers gonna wipe, wipe, wipe, wipe, wipe. You can't just shake it off.

The umbrella wording of theory is problematic as it conflates evolutionary and gravitational with things like conspiracy.

Predestination review

You don't need to read a review, you've already seen the film and you loved it. How could you not? It was always going to happen that way, why fight it? A groundbreaking short story written in 1958 adapted for the screen in 2014. This is the most important thing to remember when going into  Predestination the film adaptation of Robert A. Heinlein's "-All You Zombies-". If I'm being honest I had the conclusion sorted out before the half way point. That being said the film did not suffer one iota for this early revelation. From that point it became watching the drama unfold in the only way that it could. Sort of like being a bystander when a major disaster happens. When it reaches its final destination don't expect to be surprised, but do expect to be amazed.  I had not seen any work by The Spierig brothers before coming into Predestination so had no idea what to expect of the film makers. But it was a wonderfully crafted piece of visual story telling. With powerful performances by relative new comer Sarah Snook and a near unrecognisable Ethan Hawke. I am a general fan of his work but it is great seeing him not in the role of the untethered, philosophical wonderer through life. His performance has drive, passion and a hint of tragedy. Reminiscent of a greek tragedy or even a Shakespearian tragedy. Sarah Snook will have locked up all the strong female roles that are ever to be written from now on. She brings a sophistication to a sic-fi female lead we haven't seen since Ripley in Alien.  The stories themes are as old as science fiction but are certainly not explored in a tired way. I doubt we will ever tire of watching characters slowly destroy themselves, helplessly, tirelessly, inevitably. It is what helps us feels better about the choices we make (or think we make). Good science fiction should make you question some part, no matter how small, of the world you live in and Predestination delivers on that.  But you don't need to read a review, you've already seen the film and you loved it. How could you not? It was always going to happen that way, why fight it?

Pregnant woman's rant at anti-abortion protesters leaves them speechless

This woman, she is my new hero. Lets not address this as a "rant" though. The cultural context of a rant has changed from impassioned speaking to something of a disjointed scream into the darkness. This woman knows her facts and speaks truthfully and passionately.

Fury is the dark side of passion, but this woman's fury is entirely justified.

When I worked as a freelance video editor, it would occasionally be my job to edit behind-the-scenes videos of fashion photo shoots. Occasionally, a segment of raw footage would be particularly “interesting” or “funny” when viewed out of context.

Anyway, here’s a video of a sexy lingerie model freaking out on a piano.
