In before, "You've misunderstood everything! Hire me to write for you — I mean — 'a science writer'!"

Here in Florida it's called the Baker Act, and they can only hold you for 72 hours.

I think that they're typically rare because usually law enforcement will try to contact a family member or friend for assistance. It's usually only in cases where either no one can be reached or, in my experience, where the family asks for intervention (they're already at the end of their rope and haven't been able…

Yeah, I struggle with this idea of "it's not my job to make you better" thing, on both a personal and societal level. On the one hand, it's great that being a father of daughters makes you more generous and compassionate and empathetic; and I'm glad that my presence in my brother's life has helped him to become a…

I have the same reactions when one of my guy friends says this to me. "I didn't really believe in feminism until I had a daughter!"

UGH! Okay, as much as I also want to be a magic baby I have to agree that this study is mainly promoting the idea that women are just supposed to sit around being pretty and influencing the actual hero of the story (men) to be better people.

And don't get high from your own supply.

Actually Alex's character is based on a real person (a white American woman), who was a middle manager type in an international drug cartel, just like Alex.

Wow, that is how apologies are done! I don't know why but I wanted to point out that J. Cole was a communications major in college and for some reason that apology made me think about that. Normally, apologies by celebrities after a faux pas always sound fake and forced but his seemed real and genuine.

Pretty much every reported casual trend is about affluent (usually white) people.

Those historic sites would all still be there if the royal family lost its privileges. And more would be accessible to the public if there weren't nobs living there. Chances are the royal family isn't going to be doing anything of any lasting historic significance ever again.

You mean Jared Padalecki. The guy whose first baby netted an $80K + donation to St. Jude's Children's Research hospital as his fans donated $40K and he and his wife, Daneel, matched it.

Half-black, half-white, with bright red curly hair and freckles. I was just asked "What are you?" yesterday as a young white woman began pawing my hair on the metro.

Yeah, I think you need to do a little research. Sean Penn was arrested at least twice for incidents with paparazzi, most recently in 2010. Jude Law was arrested in 2007. Russell Brand in 2010. Lily Allen was arrested in 2007. And at the time they all got media attention. The fact that you didn't remember any of them…

1) that pap got what was coming to him. Ye told him to fuck off. :/

Is that a wombat riding a tortoise? If so, this is the best GIF ever. Seriously, wombats are my animal.

Since I live in Florida, I cry every time I see that Bugs Bunny GIF posted. How would you feel if every time your state is mentioned, the rest of the country just states their preference for setting you adrift in the ocean? <sniff>

Man some of these comments are absolutely brutal. A celebrity finones comes out, makes the most neutral, fair comment, i.e. that everyone was at fault in a bad situation, and people jump on him for being a "boot licker" and tell him he shouldn't speak about politics. It is refreshing to hear a neutral position for…

Barkley may be showing some rather refreshing frankness and honesty here, compared to most of the so-called pundits on the television.

Nick Saban runs such a great program because he's all about intense focus. You see it every year at his camp: concentration.
