Brava again Lindy. This is the best article addressing the actual problems with the VMA performance that Jezebel has published thus far. Cheers for linking to Solidarity is for Miley Cyrus! Go NinjaCate!

Just build a horse out of lentils! It's like you don't even want to solve your problems, slave girl!

This might be the best movie review in the history of cinematic criticism. For real. That was fucking beautiful, my friend.

It's that thing... Where Lars Von Trier and Rob Zombie had a movie baby... But also Species.

If you are invisible at 28 then none of those people who don't see you are worth a moment's thought.

A few weeks ago I was shopping for heels. I really need a new pair for work. And since I wear my shoes FOREVER, I was willing to pay decent money for them. I went into a "nice" shoe store and no one would help me. They were too busy fawning over some giggling 20 ( I assume) somethings with Coach bags, fake tans, and…

Starting to think that most shops just pick the L kid size and say "fuck it, this is now the S adult size and we go up from there".

Several years ago I made the mistake of going into Macy's at the Beverly Center. At the time I generally wore a size 14, so I was on the very low end of "plus-sized," but I couldn't find anything above a size 8, so I asked a sales associate if they had a plus-sized section. The guy laughed at me, loudly, told me they…

Right, because asking a sales person for a size and finding out they don't carry it is the same as having someone make unsolicited comments about your weight and being asked to leave the store.

At my thinnest weight a few years ago I went into an H&M to buy some jeans and I was told that the store was for juniors. Funny thing, is I was wearing H&M jeans when I was told that they wouldn't fit me. Hmm.

I can't tell if you're trolling or if I've misread.

Yeah, I'm amazed by this.

Black, Lupin, Pettigrew is hilariously easy.

I carry a gun every day, and I fly regularly with my firearm in checked baggage so I'm familiar enough with this particular situation to say that this woman is not being a safe gun owner if she can honestly say that she got all the way to the airport security checkpoint without once being mindful of her belongings. …

I feel like Quirrell would cry during sex.

Regardless of what one thinks of either gun control laws or the TSA, if a person is capable of forgetting that they are carrying a handgun at any time, then surely that person should not be carrying a handgun, period.

What frlcklneh said. She had a loaded and deadly weapon in her bag. That she was so cavalier about it that she simply "forgot" that it was there suggests a shockingly lax attitude toward gun safety.

EDIT: This is what bothers me about the "responsible gun owner" talk. Everyone thinks they are a responsible gun…

Except that yours was a lighter. Hers was a gun. You don't get to "forget" to unpack your handgun when you're traveling, and I wouldn't be at all surprised if she did it on purpose, either hoping she wouldn't get caught or that she could make some kind of crazypants statement about gun laws.

It doesn't matter what anyone's intent is in bringing a firearm to an airport. Just like statutory rape, this is a strict liability offense that merits charges every time it happens.
