WHAT ARE YOU LOSING??? we don’t know!

Worldwide Protests Held Against Monsanto

Protests against seed giant Monsanto have been held across the US and in dozens of other countries.

“March Against Monsanto” organisers said they were calling attention to the dangers posed by genetically modified food and the companies that produce it.

Protests were being held in more than 250 U.S. cities on Saturday.

Genetically modified plants are grown from seeds engineered to resist insecticides and herbicides, add nutritional benefits and improve crop yields.

The company also produces many highly toxic chemicals including pesticides, plastics and artificial food additives.

Some believe they can lead to health problems and harm the environment.

Opponents have pushed for mandatory labelling, although the US government and many scientists have said that the technology was safe.

The Monsanto company, based in Saint Louis, said on Saturday that it respected people’s rights to express their opinion, but believed its seeds helped farmers produce more food, while conserving water and energy.

Amy Poehler was new to SNL and we were all crowded into the seventeenth-floor writers’ room, waiting for the Wednesday read-through to start. There were always a lot of noisy “comedy bits” going on in that room. Amy was in the middle of some such nonsense with Seth Meyers across the table, and she did something vulgar as a joke. I can’t remember what it was exactly, except it was dirty and loud and “unladylike.”

Jimmy Fallon, who was arguably the star of the show at the time, turned to her and in a faux-squeamish voice said: “Stop that! It’s not cute! I don’t like it.”

Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. “I don’t fucking care if you like it.” Jimmy was visibly startled. Amy went right back to enjoying her ridiculous bit …

With that exchange, a cosmic shift took place. Amy made it clear that she wasn’t there to be cute. She wasn’t there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys’ scenes. She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not fucking care if you like it …

I think of this whenever someone says to me, “Jerry Lewis says women aren’t funny,” or Christopher Hitchens says women aren’t funny,” or “Rick Fenderman says women aren’t funny. … Do you have anything to say to that?”

Yes. We don’t fucking care if you like it.

Namako Studios: Finally watched the season finale of "Elementary": WHY DID I DO THAT???

namakostudios:

It’s funny reading the Swimmies of Doom post on how it’s impossible to read anything feminist, really, into the “Elementary” season finale unless you are trying too hard. The reason it’s funny to me is because yeah, I totally agree— but the thing that pissed me off about it (yes, in spite of…
