This is a fascinating comment, thank you!
This is going to sound combative, but I *absolutely* don’t mean it that way, I’m really very curious!
What do you mean when you say it isn’t necessarily more cruel than honey making? Does honey production tend to harm lots of bees? Is it the overall process that’s problematic,…

Hello - your friendly neighborhood ecologist here! There are four different taxonomic groups of bees, the most well known of which being Apini (honeybees) and Bombini (bumblebees). Female (worker and queen) bumblebees don’t have barbed stingers and can sting multiple times. Happily for us, they are really chill and…

I personally don’t care if she’s had work done if it makes her happy and wasn’t something she was pressured to get. On the other hand, I do think it’s important to look at the role of Photoshop on ads and whatever. Not only does it make women unrecognizable at times, but it also contributes to the pressure of a…

I mean excuse the fuck outta me for not wanting to chime in on the work that a woman who very publicly suffered a mental breakdown may or may not have had. I’m way out of line here, I realize that now.

I don’t see why I should have to keep my junk in my pants if the President of the United States doesn’t have to do the same. I’m not the one paying out any hush money for my sexual forays, either. Anyone in this administration that wants to tell me to be a good little Puritan better make sure they have some real…

That’s not what happened. This has been widely reported (on Kinja alone it’s been reported separately on at least three sites) and the dog was not being smuggled aboard. According to multiple witnesses, the dog was in an airline-approved carrier and originally placed under the seat—per regulations—by its owner.

Um, if someone told me to put my dog in the bin, I’d be like, “Yo there is a dog in there.”

The bulldog has booked its return flight on Spirit Airlines.

Can you update to clarify that MISD is Mansfield ISD?
Mansfield occurs nowhere in the article... and is not explained properly. Mansfield is south of Arlington (itself in between Dallas and Fort Worth) and utilizing a phrase like “Dallas elementary school teacher Stacy Bailey” is largely inaccurate and misleading.
I say…

Might want to clarify this is in Mansfield, Texas, not Dallas.

Chills! LOVE Uncle Phil. And original Viv for the win!!!

Bless your heart.

Okay, fine, I’ll take one for the team:

I know that’s kind of a “thing” to dislike Jennifer Lawrence at the moment, but I genuinely like her. It must have been so strange for her to be dragged into the Weinstein allegations as a defender when she obviously hates him. Imagine having to come up with a proper soundbite decrying his actions off the cuff with no…

Hey, I’m a nurse at a family practice. We have been seeing tons of post flu infections. If you are still this sick you might want to go be checked out. This flu has been causing normally healthy people to develop pneumonia.

I liked him as Jordan’s brother in Scrubs who died of cancer. It was a phenomenal episode.

I’m surprised the NRA even knows Parks & Rec, I guess there are no decent Duck Dynasty memes.

I grew up in Northern Ireland during the Troubles.
