The Cholera Diet was huge in Beverly Hills last year. My cousin went to a Cholera party, where they had this one lady who had cholera, and what you did is you got a wine glass and you while you mingled (OMG they were catered by Sona), the lady would come by and take a sip of your glass. My cousin said she lost a ton…

All of this makes sense. If you are into bondage porn, it is hard not to be into James Deen (I'm sure a few are successful at this, but not many). This fits because if you are into GoT, it is hard not to be into Jon Snow. And I love that he is Jon Snow, knows nothing about GoT and yet still makes one of the best Jon…

She has at least a 3 year statute to sue 24 hour fitness for personal injury and I hope her claim has at least 6 zeros attached to it. Make those fuckers bleed.

GAH NOOOO. What makes me so frustrated is that the company fed her that bullshit line about not pursuing legal action and she didn't even question it. She probably had other reasons for not wanting to pursue legal action, as many victims do, but still. They have it on tape. That is already so much power right there.…

Sweet dreams are made of cheese - who am I to dis a Brie?

I'm going to do some shameless self promo here and advertise my site where you can read countless stories about female scientists including how they got repeatedly shitted on by their male piers.

I said this to LoniManderson just the other day. The schools by us are freaking out and spending all this money for filtering software, but the kids just figure out ways around them, because fucking teenagers are _always _going to be better at us than technology. It's like my nephew, man. You give that kid an old…

I excitedly announced her win to my (fellow Canadian) coworkers this morning as soon as I got in, and was greeted with a bunch of blank looks. It made me sad for the state of society.

I'm sure the owners helped them along enough to get the stuffed animals on their faces, but my dog is also an expert at stuffed-animal-face-chewing. It's almost remarkable, if it weren't also incredibly sinister when I wake up and she's licking my face.

I agree with everything you're saying. This is bizarre and completely stomach-turning. The use of the phrase "vaguely traumatic incident" is pretty horrible when it's being used to describe the rape of an 8 year-old. I suspect Doug Barry doesn't use "vaguely traumatic incident" to describe any other cases of statutory…

1. Is Lena Dunham literally wearing a paper bag???? Hate the outfit, but cute picture regardless.

2. I scrolled down and Grover scared the shit out of me. Monster At The End Of This Post.

So, when Charo has the trots, she's Sophia Vergara?

Know why healthy communication is a rarity? Because you keep justifying slow fade as acceptable, because healthy communication is a rarity. Just because other people are toxic, unhealthy assholes doesn't mean it's ok for you to be one, too. Make the world a better place. Be decent.

Because I know the sort of folks you're talking about, I understand your knee-jerk irritation towards their use of "partner." But, there really isn't another word that denotes the seriousness of a long-term relationship when you're not married, especially for older couples who probably feel silly saying "boyfriend."

While I am a huge fan of the "gentlemanfriend/ladyfriend" variation, the boyfriend/girlfriend designation leaves a lot to be desired for the committed couple. It feel odd to use the same terms as highschoolers when you have been together for years and plan on decades more.

Am I the only one who feels like straight people using the word "partner" to describe their relationship feels... co-opt-y?

"Partnered" is a good word, sure, but it's a little too liberal arts professor for most.

Hey guys! I just figured out what IRL means. I feel so hep and groovy.

To be fair, It's better than "Genocide and Gingersnaps."
