I like this woman's photo project, where she shows a pretty shot AND the reality around it. More interesting than just a shelfie.

"Coal and nuclear plants are being shut down due to environmental concerns"

When I was a young'n, we weren't into the movies so much, but I do remember everyone in my junior year high school class was OBSESSED with Lurlene McDaniels' books. They were basically like if Francine Pascal had a kid with George RR Martin and that kid was really emo and wrote only about teenagers. Every teen was…

Thing is, for me it was almost exactly the opposite. I grew up being taught more or less agnosticism. But for me, believing in some sort of intelligence or guiding influence other than our own is comforting.

What I find particularly fascinating are the New Atheists who bash religion, because it's dogmatic and restricts free thought and anti-science, but then turn around and take on an ideology known for being theoretically dogmatic (usually feminism or Marxism), and that similarly rely on a lot of theories that are…

YES! THIS! Thank you for having the clear focus and wisdom to see an issue how it is, not just through the eyes of gawker/jezebel.

This is also what the (self-reporting) atheists cited in the Daily Beast article look like: young, white and with enough education/money to waste time standing on a hill contemplating their middle-class* ennui. Take a step outside communities that are largely represented by these demographics and we'll find the…

Terrible and terrifying things have happened throughout history. Why should the Columbine massacre, even magnified by television, be more damaging to organized religion than something like the Black Death?

Anyone who is 100% adamant that there is no god is just as arrogant as somebody who claims to "know" that God does exist. Maybe they are more intelligent, but just as arrogant. Evangelical atheists suck just as bad as evangelical Christians do. Not only is holding a conference for atheists dumb, doing so on Easter…

Ugh, that one was terrible as well. The Style section has to be some sort of in-joke.

après le NYT, le deluge. It truly has become he paper of record for the 1%.

I assume this song was on repeat while she designed the clothing line.

Oh man, I really needed to hear this right now. I'm getting married and part of me likes traditional wedding stuff, part of me doesn't, and all of me has a mother that is Very Opinionated about how things should be. I asked eight (EIGHT!) of my friends and closest family members, as well as my fiance's sister, to be…

YES YES YES YES

I really can't help but feel like this whole article is basically telling people to "tell it like it is" in that way where you say or do a rude thing and then tell people they can't get mad about it because it's the truth!

Yeah, way to set your kid up for ED. Reminds me of when I was a part time nanny for a little girl with a wealthy, beauty obsessed, narcissistic mom. One day I came to look after the kid while her mom was doing a photo-shoot and found that both mom and daughter were doing that ridiculous cleanse diet where you drink…

No. I'm hearing and speaking impaired. I've been involved in the community for most of my life. These people are assholes for complaining.

That's right, even when someone is trying to help you; if they say something stupid, the only reasonable way to respond is by demanding their termination.

I wouldn't go as far as the truck guy, but people who use the left lane to idle along PISS ME OFF. The left lane is for passing. If you're going the speed of traffic, get the F over.

So this woman is driving 60 mph in the fast lane, turning around with her cell phone to film a guy tailgating her. Who's the idiot? She should have just moved into the right lane and let him pass, even though he was indisputably being an asshole.
