Great article. There's also the factor that (here in the US) you can buy a GSM phone off contract and use it on T-Mobile's and ATT's network without being tied to a service contract for 2 years. I have verizon who refuse to let me guy a Moto G after my wife broke her Galaxy S3 until the Moto G was used on a prepaid…

Expedite yourself a good grabber tool from Amazon right this instant! Best $15 I ever spent. I never realized how short arms are until I got knee surgery.

Jesus, isn't this thing over yet?

for a second i thought it was bart simpson taking a dump next to a mountain.

I like it simply because we are not allowed to stream video at work.

I think that's an interesting point that some friends and I have talked about, the bi-racial aspect. What happens when a white parent has to inform their child who is half black and half white how to move in American society as a minority? It must turn their previous life experiences on their ears, unless the parent…

Fantastic statement from Jesse Williams. I'm bi-racial, but can say that I've never really been harassed by the cops in my lifetime. My brothers however? Dudes can't move two feet without a policeman stopping jus to "check-in". This shit is real, and it would be lovely for large parts of the country to open their…

Let me join you in the disappointment. I really wanted to see that pic. In my head it was either a big cute guy stuck halfway in the window or a big guy sticking his head in there yelling "drop my chalupa!"

I dono I still ike mine better. :P

I completely agree that it is asshole-ish behavior, but doesn't a claim of discrimination imply unequal treatment? So if EVERYBODY is getting equally screwed is it discrimination?

What bothers me about this is that there is no mention of the treatment of other employees who were granted specific schedules to accommodate their religious practices. Are there employees who ask for Saturday or Sunday off for their own religious practices? I even went and read the article and didn't see any mention…

I am not an expert on hipsters but I am an expert on Back to the Future and I live near Williamsburg, so I feel like that qualifies me to say that it can be way more hipster than a delorean in a coffee shop. In fact, I would argue that Deloreans in coffee shops have nothing to do with hipsters.

So instead of finding ways to get her resources for caring for her children, they... strip her of more resources by throwing her in jail? This makes sense.

I think you underestimate the crazy of Quiverfull folks. The kids are always chaperoned when together before marriage to keep them "accountable."

i wonder if she can see Mecca from her kitchen window ????

I guess it depends on whether you think a sexual urge is a moral failing. As stated in the article, it is the behavior, not the inclination that needs to be corrected. These people have the most taboo desire in society and want to make themselves safe. Absolutely they should get help.

I used to live in Seattle, on Capitol Hill. The night of the WTO protests, when the police first went into lockdown mode and the city went into martial law were intense. I remember being unable to take city transit and having to walk home from work that night. I happened to leave as the police were marching the…

And that's saying something.

Most people I know are donating as well as doing the challenge, so suck it, Jezebelist.

As a costco employee, it warms my heart to see great articles like this that don't just bash us and say everyone else is better (I'm looking at you, yahoo "news")
