These faces look a lot like celebrity faces in magazines after they've been through the photoshop ringer; thinner, longer, whiter. Do you think the recent trend in over-manipulating faces we see every day has changed the way our brains take in and remember faces?

I love all the people who are like WOMEN DO THIS TO MEN TOO. Yes, they do sometimes, but NOWHERE near as much as men do it to women. Apparently critical thinking is just too difficult.

I hate twitter. #stopthetampons? They want them to stop handing out tampons altogether?

I used to read the Onion AV Club a lot, and so many comments on pieces involving female artists/actors boiled down to either "her work is _____, and she's so hot!" or "her work is ____, too bad she's not hot!" I'm sure none of these dudes thought of themselves as sexist, but they still couldn't offer an opinion about…

Oh, there's more than that:

You can think that she should have dumped you in a more adult fashion, but you probably shouldn't include money you spent during the relationship in the equation, unless you believe that you're purchasing affection.

*crosses eyes* Ok, 56% increase compared to earlier progestin-based birth control pills - which means, what? (Because it's not just a 56% increase, which is what most people will read it as.)

By "leaping into problem-solving mode too quickly" do they actually mean "waving away actual issues with a glib mansplanation that they assume will solve everything?"

In response several of us are planning "Slap the shit out of Young Conservatives" day.

So the message says:

If you don't want to be taken as an authoritarian apologist for the worst actions of the police, dropping the all caps would be a good start. And frankly, I don't care if she's a twelve-time loser. It is not relevant to whether the cops had probable cause.

Yeah, see, you don't get to arrest people just because they've been in trouble before. You still have to have evidence, probable cause, etc. Really, despite what they get away with, the police do not in fact have legal authority to do just whatever the heck they want to.

My husband is a speechwriter for a university president. You better bet he plagiarizes nothing, fact-checks everything, and regularly reviews speech drafts with the president.
That's THE REASON you hire dedicated speechwriters - so someone can research and verify what you're going to say. You must stand behind what you…

In general, we do apply this level of scrutiny to each of them. People frequently run the text of people's speeches and writing through plagiarism checkers these days. Usually politicians do it themselves for works that are written by their own staff, just to check. The internet makes it much easier to catch this…

And every political leader is accountable for his staff and for generally running a competent operation. Because "leader."

If plagiarism is OK, why not just skip the middle man and go to the source? All hail our next president.

Ugh, I feel like telling the commenters at Gawker that they're only allowed to discuss the subject if:

I'll tell you what I think. I THINK IT'S A CRYING SHAME THEY ENDED THE SKIT BEFORE KERRY WASHINGTON COULD ACTUALLY COME OUT AS BEYONCE.

Why no memo to the guys about getting drunk in public and trash-talking the firm - much more timely and we've yet to see the women passing emails about suggesting that law firms F*** their clients for money. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/clifford-…
