When couples take marriage vows, they promise to stand by each other for better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, until death do them partbut they don’t generally promise to stand by each other through differing views on grammar. However, as all English majors know, grammar debates can get ugly. A recent cartoon by The New Yorker‘s Emily Flake perfectly captures how one of the most agonizing debates between grammar nerds might even manage to get in the way of a marriage. SEE ALSO: 22 actual headlines from Trump’s first month that sadly weren’t written by ‘The Onion’ The cartoon features a woman in conversation with a divorce attorney or counselor of some sort. You can tell from the woman’s face and crossed arms that she’s discussing a serious matter, yet the man is holding his hand out towards her, almost as if to prevent her from commenting further. So what’s this serious matter they’re chatting about? Welp, the caption simply reads: “I’m sorry, but refusing to use an Oxford comma isn’t really grounds for divorce.” We beg to differ.

Death is officially meaningless on TV: Katie Cassidy’s coming back to ‘Arrow’ permanently
Rumors of her death have been greatly exaggerated. Image: Dean Buscher/The CW Well, this is unexpected. Katie Cassidy will be returning to Arrow as a series regular in Season 6 despite the fact that her character, Laurel Lance (aka Black Canary), was killed off in Season 4. In the world of superhero shows, anything is possible and Laurel’s sister, Sara (Caity Lotz) has already proven that you can’t keep a good vigilante down, having died and been resurrected on Arrow before moving over to spinoff series DC’s Legends of Tomorrow. But Cassidy won’t be reviving the Laurel Lance that fans knew and loved for the first four seasons of Arrow she’ll be playing the Earth-2 doppelgnger version of Laurel, aka Black Siren, a metahuman criminal who was brought over to Earth-1 by the villainous speedster known as Zoom in The Flash Season 2. SEE ALSO: Superhero comics creators: we’re political, and always have been After Zoom’s defeat, Arrow villain Prometheus tried to enlist Black Siren in his vendetta against Oliver Queen (Stephen Amell), forcing her to imitate Earth-1 Laurel to try and manipulate him. Black Siren was eventually captured and taken into ARGUS custody, but her story clearly isn’t over
This week’s ‘Walking Dead’ was a bloody mess, but things might be looking up
Image: AMC This recap contains spoilers for The Walking Dead Season 7, episode 13, titled “Bury Me Here.” Welp, that was a lot. This episode opens with some of the residents of the Kingdom loading a single melon onto a truck, an image which is incredibly painful once we learn its meaning. After what seems like a rough night of nightmares, Carol can’t stand her self-imposed solitude any longer. SEE ALSO: Live interview with ‘Walking Dead’ star has hilariously unorthodox ending She heads to the Kingdom to make sure that Daryl was letting the truth in last week’s episode, and everyone back in Alexandria is alright. (Side note: No, he wasn’t and no, they are not.) She confronts Morgan, but it’s clear that she already knows something is wrong. Morgan refuses to tell her what the deal is mostly because he’s Morgan and nothing is easy with him. He does, however, offer to bring her to Alexandria to find out what’s happened, but because she’s Carol, she refuses. She also declines to show Benjamin how to kill walkers and survive outside the walls of the Kingdom. That’s par for the course with Carol this season. As she walks away from
You won’t believe which movies have fewer Oscars than ‘Suicide Squad’
The "Suicide Squad" Image: warner bros Everyone’s still talking about the craziest thing that happened at the Oscars on Sunday: Suicide Squad winning one. The DC Comics anti-hero action movie took home Best Make-up and Hairstyling. Fans had fun with it, while film snobs took it hard. Just like Suicide Squad.
Fun Batman or Dark Batman? Hell, Why Not Both
Every fan knows Batman’s origin story. No, not the one about Bruce Wayne’s parents dying in Crime Alley. I’m talking about the taleof a gritty urban vigilante who was created in 1939, only to be mercilessly watered down into kid-friendly fluff, culminating in a hyperkitschy1966 TV show. Ever since then, the story goes, brave creators have fought to make the Dark Knight dark again. For years, everyone I knew believed in this legend. We all looked down on the Adam West version of Batman and sneered at the Joel Schumacher films. I came of age believing that Neal Adams, Frank Miller, and a handful of other comics creators had rescued Batman from a fate worse than death. And that Tim Burton and the team behind Batman: The Animated Series had helped to complete a much-needed rescue operation. Then Christopher Nolan came along more than a decade after them to once again save Batman from his worst enemy: silliness. But I never could have predicted that I would be devouring a new comic based on that 1960s TV Batman, while eagerly awaiting The Lego Batman Movie, the candy-colored spinoff of Lego Moviehittingtheaters today. Somehow, in the past decade I’ve learned that

Home channelled girls to ‘truth serum’ hospital – BBC News
Image copyright Fred Loasby Image caption Dr Kenneth Milner, Aston Hall’s medical head, is accused of carrying out traumatic “therapies” on children Aston Hall in Derbyshire was opened in the 1920s for those deemed to have mental health problems. It could cater for about 100 children of both sexes, but took adults as well. Image copyright Wellcome Trust Image caption Sodium amytal, a so-called truth serum, was originally used on traumatised soldiers A treatment run by Dr Milner saw patients, including a number of children, being isolated, stripped and drugged, according to claims. Records show he was using sodium amytal and may have been employing “narcoanalysis” – a military method for treating servicemen with repressed traumatic experiences, which was largely abandoned after World War Two. This evidence, combined with a lack of published research and few medical records, have led to Dr Milner’s methods being called into question. Many former patients have spoken of the trauma of the process, with some claiming to have had false memories of abuse suggested to them and even been sexually abused by Dr Milner. But new research has shown there was a system for bringing children, particularly girls, to Aston Hall. Image caption Former
