I would LOVE to recline on an airplane, I'm not going to lie. But I also don't want the guy in front of me to recline - so I don't recline. Do unto others and all that. Just be kind to people and I think everything will be ok in the end. Think of the comfort of others in addition to the comfort of yourself. Will…

I also love the Broncos and I am very saddened that I won't be buying any Broncos gear (well, officially licensed, anyway - I'm sure there's a joint down Federal where I can get me a good knock-off) because I really could use a new long-sleeved winter shirt so that I might unite in orange.

Oh, and BTW, a 4-game…

It makes me sad that this needs to exist...

Does it also need to be unwaxed? Wouldn't the wax melt? (I have to use wax dental floss on my teeth, so it's what I generally have around)

Luckily the injury is not that bad, so I'm up walking (in a boot) already. Prior to that, I have small children to do my bidding <insert evil laugh here>. But the grabber tool is definitely smart!

Just broke my foot/sprained my ankle. Worst thing about crutches is not being able to carry something while using them. Want a drink? Ask a friend. Need the remote? Ask a friend. In the mood for a snack in the middle of the night? Good luck with that, sweetie.

I can't even imagine - I would have no idea where to even begin. Every day I learn more about racial discrimination, how widespread, how insidious. It embarrasses me that I didn't know, that I continue to not know.

What the actual hell is wrong with people?

Whatever, fuck Yahoo News - when "everyone else" starts paying their employees living wages and capping their CEO's salary, we can talk about if they're better or not. (BTW, late to the convo, but whatevs).

There was an NPR (?? I think) interview with this kid, his mom, and a woman who is studying human sexuality about 6 months ago. It was interesting...

That video is fantastic.

You shouldn't. Donations to ALSA are up something like 60 times ($20k to over $1M) this year as compared to the same period last year. Dumping a bucket of ice on your head obviously won't cure ALS - no one is saying it will - but the donations that are coming out of it will fund research that might find a cure. …

That article is a pile of shite. Numerous news sources are reporting that donations to ALSA have gone up thousands of percent because of this. Worst Jezebel article ever.

For all the stuff Sploid and Gizmodo tout as "defying the laws of physics" or "gravity defying," I think this would be the only thing I've seen that might actually fit that description, and you didn't do it. Disappointed in you, Omar.

Meanwhile, I'm just going to go eat a pint of ice cream since I may as well just go…

That Sarah Thyre is on to something...

I like your ideas, Ari!

There's a story on Snopes about this. Apparently her first instatweetbook update or whatever included #myth at the end.

The Internet: where rational thought goes to die.

Given the meteoric uptick in donations to ALSA, I think the awareness is actually helpful. I think your annoyance is misplaced with people pouring ice over their head as opposed to the person that wrote an entire article about why people are pouring ice over their heads who never provided a link to donate. If you're…

Donations to The ALS Association, which funds research, among other things, has seen an astronomical increase in donations because of this. From July 29 through August 11, donations to the ALS Association totaled $1.35 million. In the same time frame last year, that amount was $22,000. So, two takeaways from this. …
