I don’t get it.
What is the point of all these Primaries and Caucauses and Whatsits?
All these years.
After finding out that Kristen Bell was dating some dude named Dax Shephard I made it my life goal to know nothing about the man.
He would become some sort of fictional character. Nonexistent in reality.
Today that comes crashing down.
I now know what and who a Dax Shephard is. Needless to say, I’ve seen his face a million times but have never known his name.
I’m going to try and continue my pretend reality where he doesn’t exist.
Sigh.
NSFW
I don’t understand why curse words are considered NSFW?
I do 80% of my cursing when talking to my boss.
The shit hit the fan in the trans blogosphere last night, when it came to light that there is a disturbing new section in the Identity Screening Regulations used in airports throughout Canada. Simply put, Transgender People are Completely Banned From Boarding Airplanes in Canada.
The offending section of the regulations reads:
5.2 (1) An air carrier shall not transport a passenger if …
(c) the passenger does not appear to be of the gender indicated on the identification he or she presents;
Although this obviously discriminatory smear of regulation did not come to significant public attention until very recently, it apparently came into effect on July 27th, 2011.
It is important to note that these regulations are not actually a piece of legislation, which would have had to pass through readings and votes in the House and Senate (which is probably why it went unnoticed until now). Rather, the Identity Screening Regulations are a set of rules implemented unilaterally by the Ministry of Transportation, as part of Canada’s so-calledPassenger Protect, which is essentially the Canadian Federal Government’s equivalent to the U.S.’s “no-fly” list.
Minister of Transportation Denis Lebel is, of course, a federal Conservative MP appointed to the cabinet position by Stephen Harper.
This is abhorrent.
While no one has been denied boarding as a result of this regulation, it is still in the books and could have serious repercussions.

Maybe I’m the ony one that cares about this, but I have become obsessed (not really…ok maybe a little bit) with actors that play teenagers on TV whose first major role was as a teenager on another TV show. Case in point: Vanessa Lengies
Vanessa is 26 years old. Currently she’s on Glee as Sugar Motta and is approximately 16 years old (that comes from some real hard research). That brings her to playing a character 10 years younger than her actual age. Her first major TV role was as Roxanne Bojarski on American Dreams. She was 15 years old on the show when it began. The show began airing in 2002 (10 years ago) which made her 15/16. She was basically the same age as her character.
Maybe Vanessa has been locked in a special room with other actors for when they need to cast a show with teenagers when real teenagers just won’t do.

That wasn’t the first time you’ve done that either. Fool me twice, shame on me.
I use read more links for two reasons:
- To keep a large post to a reasonable dashboard size
- To drive traffic to my actual page so I can watch my numbers go up.
I have such a rewarding life.

I troll tumblr and watch my Google Analytics real time data light up.

Doesn’t he know proper London Taxi etiquette?
Just beginning Sherlock
From the first 10 minutes I can deduce that this is in fact a show about John Watson.
Wait wait wait
A bro named Stacy is the creator of that ‘Don’t Say Gay’ bill in Tennessee?
A dude. Called Stacy.
If that’s not a case of self loathing, I don’t know what is.
