Oh my god. I had absolutely forgotten about that. Yes, 9/11 generation, that was a thing that happened. SMH.

Well, I haven’t had nearly enough “fat bearded” or “balding” guys in my life, recently. ;)

He’d be more likely to tear all of your hair out (hence the Luci-fur name) but we can dream, right?

Mindymoo - this one’s for you...A spectacular candid of my sister’s cat with his little tongue captured in its full glory. Also, his name is Lucifer, but spelled Luci-fur.

I 100% agree that the counterclaim is an intimidation tactic. Also of interest to me here, though, is the “actual injury” prong of defamation/slander/libel cases. What does Winston claim his “actual injury” was? There were nationwide media stories on the case, but he is (at least a limited) public figure. He was…

Just a sidenote/FYI here: testimony in court is privileged/exempted from defamation laws. If statements in court were actionable for slander, you can imagine the amount of lawyers (both defense and prosecution) being hauled into civil court!

Right?!

Yeah! For someone who has approximately 18,000 magnolia-themed products in her line, you would think Reese would actually know what one looked like. And those earrings are not magnolias. To be fair to Claire’s, their earrings are specifically dubbed “roses.”

WAT!? Super-snort, then...

Gella - OMG. The Ruffalo quote from the article you linked to is...coconuts. In my mind, he just became kinda hot crazy Mark Ruffalo.

Yeah. Nothing says “class” like promoting your album at a charity event.

Yep. Race-related posts on Gawker reliably produce “comments” that contain the n-word as a directed slur toward other commenters. I (and others) always flag these posts as “hate speech,” yet not one has ever been taken down/moderated. In my experience, Jezebel moderates quite thoroughly but Gawker’s writers (mods?)…

And yet she still gave this joint 3 fucking stars?! Jesus Christ.

Oh, for the love of God, don’t star this shit. Seriously, check out comment histories before starring, you guys...

Like others, just dropping in to say that I’ve missed you around here, Kat! Your posts are always insightful/informational/generally awesome - we need more of that around here right now...

Can I borrow “pisshole in the snow”? Because I’m totally borrowing “pisshole in the snow.”

I’d really encourage you to learn more about Rosa Parks. I’m a Detroiter, so I grew up with Ms. Parks as a local treasure. She was a tireless advocate both pre- and post-busing boycott(s). She was active in housing rights for displaced minorities for forty years. She also worked for the rights of political prisoners…

If you say “Marc Jacobs” in the mirror three times, she magically appears to forever haunt Kinja. And, yes, I realize that I’ve already said his name once so we are already way on our way to being fucked.
