Tate Donovan is that you?

No one wants you here, continue being poor in whatever 3rd world shithole you currently reside USA USA

Jesus, this old argument.

Attention, naysayers! Allow me to submit for your shutting-the-fuck-up now, Hottentot Venus. Educate yourself because I no longer have the patience.

Excellent piece Barry. Although, I'd like to offer my thoughts on a particular line: Coming out is now a stage-managed media event, scripted and choreographed in a way that ensures America receives only the most telegenic version of what at bottom is still a deeply personal act.

it was embarrassing to see the amount of victim blaming on the gawker articles on this

The father told deputies that Johran dropped his hands as if to grab something, so he opened fire. Johran was shot in the head and died at the scene.

I'm sorry, but that girl deserves to be charged. When your dad is confronting your boyfriend in your room with a gun, that's not the time to save your own ass.

Krulwich and company are talking about work from five years ago; the field's moved on since. Since then, clear evidence of rhythmic movement has been demonstrated in a variety of other species. In particular, sea lions provided a counterexample to the early hypothesis that rhythmic movement was associated with…

I work in mental health and had a patient who hanged himself from a nurse call button that had a cord. He was in a secure suicide proof room, others thought he needed to be moved to put another patient in, then he was moved to a normal room and immediately hung himself.

I got into an argument over this on another forum, but as a former vet tech, what galls me is that the doctor allowed this. It required that the dog be kept under anesthesia for the tattoo, which occurred after the surgery. MAJOR surgery, that resulted in a large amount of blood loss, dangerously low body temperature,…

For whatever reason (perhaps Frank or one of his lackeys is tirelessly deleting stuff), the Wikipedia article on Frank Miller mentions nothing about his crazy-ass politics. Just Google "Frank Miller misogynist." There you will find a treasure trove of reasons that Jezebel has no business gushing over that "pond scum"…

DOG: IS THIS WHERE WE LIVE NOW? OK I WILL JUST LAY ON TOP OF YOU LET ME KNOW WHEN IT IS TIME FOR WALK OR IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO GO GET BALL WOULD YOU LIKE ME TO GO GET BALL I WILL WAIT UNTIL YOU WANT ME TO GO GET BALL OH THERE ARE SOME PEOPLE OVER THERE LET ME SEE IF THEY HAVE BALL

He said "no one else has done more" so "great" in this context is actually soft-selling his claim that they were the best in the world.

Because most African-American people have no way of knowing where in Africa they came from. They don't have that privilege and DNA testing is a relatively new and expensive thing. Futhermore, it is a politically unifying term, just like Black is, which helped forge strategic solidarity in the face of white supremacy.

Why does hypothetical you (a/k/a Couric) need to know what recovery from a surgery you're never going to undergo felt like? What is the point of the question other than sensationalism? Surgeries are painful. Use your freaking noodle to suss that one out on your own, and move on to a topic that might actually affect…

Won't be a big deal at first, but when AT&T starts raising data costs and/or lowering limits, they'll be all but banning whatever services they don't like. Very bad precedent.
