I was fully prepared to get a trendy name that I disliked, or one from a mythology I have no connection to . . . but then I got Niamh, which is a name I love, so fine, points to Buzzfeed AI this time.

@amymatthewsp I don't believe I ever stated "villainess" wasn't a word! However, they were using it as an adjective, thus requiring the use of the adjective "villainous," not the noun "villainess." Fortunately, they have corrected the mistake in the 4 years since I made this comment… Read More

"Regardless of employer" - so you do work for them, gotcha. And who said we were comparing legacy carriers to Spirit? I fly exclusively LCCs and, in my experience, Spirit is tied with RyanAir for the worst of the lot.

I have done the math! It usually ends with me flying with another airline because Spirit isn't actually any cheaper after I factor in taxes, fees, and carry-on costs. If allowing customers to bring a carry-on and check in for free brings down the airline industry, it deserves to… Read More

The piecrust promise line is from Mary Poppins. Do they acknowledge that, or is it just plagiarism?

Okay, the whole article is ridiculous (and clearly not written by a person affected by any of the disabilities mentioned in the article but by an able-bodied white knight), but we can't say "myopic" now??? 42% of Americans have myopia. It's nearsightedness, not a disability. Surely… Read More

He's right. There are honestly too many stories about homosexual relationships between men in movies, especially Marvel movies. I'm trying to think of a single American movie from recent years that portrays non-sexual friendship between men and I can't! ...Oh, wait, no, it's basically… Read More
