I know. I hate it when victims of violent crime don't respond in the way we would like.

This is stunningly awful. I do not get how Simmons and company cannot get this. His I'm-sorry-you-were-offended non-apology should not be accepted.

You find yourself in the kitchen. You see an éclair in the receptacle... and you think to yourself: "What the hell, I'll just eat some trash."

I don't like to look for GIFs, because I am old and tired. Somebody else, go find the GIF (that surely must exist) of George Costanza getting caught by his gf's mother eating an eclair (or doughnut) from the top of the garbage.

This was my thought exactly—we've had the Cosby family and of course Oprah and before all of them, Sanford & Son and Flip Wilson. In its early days, in the eighties, Fox had a whole night of counter programming that was almost all African American and went up against NBC's Must See TV Thursday night juggernaut, based…

I think she may intend to do precisely what you infer. There is a sense of propriety that QEG maintains the rest of us should comport with in order to be polite. If we offend her aesthetic, we are "aggressive," demanding "extra special treatment" and the act of feeding a child becomes to her the forcing others to…

There are so many things that you're told you're supposed to do and not do when pregnant and with kids and much of it is contradictory and based on no science whatsoever. I'm sure there's advice lit out there that says keep the kid in a box until it applies to an expensive preschool.

I wish I could recommend this more. So many great lessons, beyond the obvious ones about what's decent and what's not and how you can look away if your tender sensibilities are offended. But the bigger thing: know your rights; stand up to bullies; stick together and be strong!

He wasn't acting property owner. He was protecting people he loved. I can't envision any other action or inaction that would have been more appropriate. This isn't a rhetorical question: what should he have done differently?

His wife was being attacked and had retreated to a wall. It was time for another human being (man, woman, whatever) to intervene. The wife turned her back on her verbal assailant and in doing so said exactly the same thing the husband said, i.e., this conversation is over.

I exercise control of my eyeballs. Try it! It works!

I think the rec center lady is kind of horrible. People who go out of their way to violate other people's rights kind of suck.

You have a right not to look at anything you want not to look at. That includes "mandals" (?) and boobs. We have a fundamental misunderstanding of rights in this culture. Things you consider unpleasant in appearance are not a violation of your rights. Things that are unpleasant that are done to you are a potential…

I feel like a wife in a healthy, loving relationship with a kind, loving husband. Although I love my Jon, I can't deny my head has been turned by an exciting, cutely awkward new man. I still love and want to honor my first commitment. I'll never leave Jon. I will always be moved by the New Jersey shrug used to…

I've gone with the double edge safety razor, a compromise position I guess, but one I've very happy with. I particularly am glad I switched to shave soap and a badger brush. As much as I hate the $8 quintuple blades, I despise the chemical shave foam concoctions.

I do shave, but I fight the man by going semi-old school, with the double edge safety razor, the mug, and the brush. I spend about $20/year on shaving stuff now, and I get a better shave that I actually enjoy doing. The marketing excess for the diminished returns of so-called innovative shave crap is where all the…

That's exactly what I pictured, but with more of a shit-eating grin.

Trigger Warning: You just saw a picture of Jack White. You're going to have "Seven Nation Army" playing in your head for the rest of the day.

Having unpacked the (sub)conscious patriarchal assertion of authority buried in the term "hobag," we must examine carefully the gendered duckface. What are the socio-cultural implications of this early millennial affectation? Particularly we need to examine both the discursive and symbolic weight of this…

The real story here: a bear is stalking Richard Nixon.
