You left out "voyeur" and "emotional vampire".

My mom called me last night to talk to me about the shoot. Unbeknownst to her, she played a small part in this travesty. She is a member of the Virginia Woolf Society, and a Vice staff member contacted her to ask some questions about how Woolf died. My mother gave the writer quite a lot of info, dispelled some of the…

I dunno, my tomatoes grow about the same where I buried the roofing crew as where I buried the census worker.

Thank you for this. I have no trouble believing that these 50 orgs are shit, but I get so tired of the idea that spending money on administration is bad. If you want to hire the best talent, get that talent to share their expertise with all your field offices, and—most importantly—actually measure and evaluate the…

I'm just going to leave this here: http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pall…

In which Taylor Kitsch seeks to answer the age-old philosophical question "Can you still be box-office poison in a made-for-TV movie?"

I've never heard of an animal consenting to slaughter for food, or to a medical procedure either (so no more vet visits for the ethical animal welfare officer).

So other than knee-jerk "ewww" why should it be illegal if "it could be proven that the animal was not inflicted with any physical and/or psychological harm."?

It takes a really special kind of person to read an article about a man who was humiliated and called horrible slurs simply for trying to do his job and come away thinking that the people who want to shame the people responsible are the malicious ones.

I hope to God somebody publishes names, so a bunch of rich white legacy shitheads can never again apply for a job without the prospective employer Googling their names and getting hits involving the phrase "faggot nigger."

"I am very disappointed that my son has been talking like my constituents."

It is not rare. It is TWICE as likely for a woman to become pregnant by rape as to conceive via consensual sex.

Defense of self/defense of others is completely different from defense of property alone. If those people had killed a man to protect their pizza, that would've been completely fucked.

Really, misogyny, which includes viewing women as objects, doesn't promote rape? I just...think you are wrong about that.

I suggested in a thread on Gawker that the armed forces might want to avoid misogyny/homophobia in their boot camp training (from what others said, these topics are common insults hurled at trainees by their instructors in the service of toughening them up/numbing them to what they will encounter while serving). I…

Note: I left the syntax re: "uncaged ferret owners" purposefully vague. Who was let out of the cage? Does it matter?

Are there really 6 of them? Or do they just keep rearranging and remixing the first one?

You know — chase, crash, explosion, kiss in #1 becomes crash, chase, kiss, explosion in #2 . . . .

Stats are tricky and this article is pretty misleading. This does not mean that Salt Lake City, Detroit, etc have the highest total amounts of gay families who are raising kids. This means that of the gay populations in a city, the percent of gay couples who are also raising kids is higher in these towns. Salt Lake…

The pictures aren't all in the same article?
