That sounds awful. I'm sorry you went through it.

Oof, I'm not one for group exercise and I have a feeling this might be why. (Or maybe it just adds to the borderline anxiety.) Joyce Wadler at the New York Times has a pretty intense and hilarious 'report' on the insanity that is Spin Class. From "potassium-infused coconut bladderwrack" energy drinks to the…

You're kidding, right? Like, you actually think, regardless of this whole choosing your choice shit you're trying to sell, that it's still ok for someone like TR to shove his dick in a models face?

Oh, that affable Jon Hamm!

Totally. She's got roughly 6000% more style than I. I'm jealous of her 12-year-old's wardrobe. :c

Oh that kid will never see a basketball game.

Plagiarized and taken out of context. God bless Chris Rock for reminding the menfolk they should pay bills and buy groceries. If I find one who'll take out the trash too, there'll be enough chicken breasts in my fridge for everyone. Won't even care about the position of the toilet seat.

Then your brain liquefies and dribbles out your ears. It's like when a robot tries to process a paradoxical statement.

Actually, it's multiple cosmetic procedures. And she doesn't look so great when her face moves (or when she tries to move it). Sigh. I had hoped for a more kick-ass role model for growing old disgracefully. But it's her face and her money, so of course she can do what she wants.

THIS WAS AMAZING! I grew up in a music junkie family, with a dad who played guitar, a brother who later followed suite, and then eventually picked up drums myself. If you're a girl, and a drummer, expect a SHIT TON of crap from the guys you play with. Oddly enough, if you can withstand it, work your ass off, prove…

yeah some dick construction workers yelled at when we were all leaving a Wendy's. I was holding a frosty to bring to my brother with strep throat, they just ate lunch. For no reason at all, one of them, who was overweight himself, yelled at me "look at that badonkadonk, lay off the ice cream." Yeah, there is nothing…

RIGHT? WHAT THE EFFFFFFFFFFF.

I am so sorry for your loss!

Amen. I've worked with Autistic kids and they are NOT dumb, they just struggle with communication and sensory stimuli. And clearly this teen is on the mild end if the spectrum if he voluntarily communicates via the internet regularly. There is not a single reason why he should be unable to understand how it is wrong…

I proposed a different first step than this woman in the story. One rape threat is too many but I think the particular reaction here is disproportionate as a first step. I think a more pragmatic, step by step approach is reasonable. Maybe that would get nowhere and there would need to be escalation. I just don't…

How many rape threats must a woman endure from anonymous online personas before it's too many? How many threats of sexual violence are too many and why should a young man face any consequences for making threats to women online? He could face repercussions while looking for a job or applying for admittance to a…

Ugh, this story combines two of my least favorite things: rape culture and the overuse of the term "bullying."

Well, the cops can choose to issue an appearance ticket on a misdemeanor instead of actually taking a person in. But let's even get rid of the underage aspect of this scenario: john gets appearance ticket for soliciting. Do they give appearance tickets to prostitutes as well for solicitation or do they bring them in?…
