Teen Wolf reminds me some things are still true

by Doctor Science

When I wrote about what Teen Wolf has taught me about the TV industry, I said that the sloppy way Teen Wolf had introduced the character of Cora was a mistake even bad fanfic writers wouldn't make in telling a story, so I theorize that storytelling isn't actually what these professionals are trying to do.

But as I thought about similar problems with other characters, it hit me that I'd made a stupid, stupid mistake. I can't believe I forgot that women aren't people.

It's not that they're not interested in telling stories, it's that they're not interested in stories about women, DUH!

Cut for spoilers up to Teen Wolf 4.06 and beyond.

Your Peak Burger weekend open thread

by liberal japonicus

This seems like good fodder for your weekend open thread (Don't worry, the picture heading the article isn't actually related to the content) and I love the phrase 'Peak Burger'. 

Japanese will often ask what food I miss the most, which is always a tough question to answer, but the food I've often used is the hamburger from the days where my dad would cook them on the weekend. So an open thread for your thoughts on burgers, your thoughts on comfort food, or anything else that strikes your fancy.
