I've been going through the Culture series by Iain M. Banks ever since he died recently. I'm really liking it! Each book is a separate story, not like a continuous serialized thing, but I think reading them in publication order is best for catching certain references and jokes that come later. The Culture is…

You do you, but my immediate opinion is that you should get the boots and then upgrade your jeans to a straight leg. You don't have to go all tight or fitted, but I think straight leg would look better and more fashionable. They can still be pretty loose, they'll just have a more modern-looking cut at the bottom.

NYC friends! Does anyone have any experience with or recommendations for an apartment cleaning service?

My god. Oh my god...

I think this writer loves perfume almost as much as I hate perfume. I will seriously change seats on the subway when someone with detectable perfume comes within range of my senses.

Here's hoping for a quadrilogy that covers Monday when she reaches post-college adulthood and is faced with the inevitable quarter-life crisis reality check of joining the workforce.

I CANNOT DEAL WITH THIS DAY. PLEAZ HALP.

Are you inside a glacier?!

Absolutely. What's more, the idea of having condem-less sex with someone who I'm not sure has been tested is actually repulsive to me. Getting caught up in a heat of the moment type passion and just going at it without a condom is almost unthinkable, because the thought of him not wearing a condom would just put such…

I'm just going to go ahead now and assume the Batkid was in cahoots with the Penguin all along.

omg I must be 8 years old because I'm dying laughing now.

If he purposely exposed himself to you, then he's performing and you can go right ahead and take that picture. If he's unconscious and exposed, then no, do not take that picture.

Hi, guys! I want to apologize for my initial comment. I'm sorry! It was not a good idea to be so short and glib, and I do not blame any of you for misconstruing the point I was trying and failing to make. The fault is clearly mine for putting a comment out there like that which was so easy to read the wrong way. To be…

Hi! Just want to clarify that I had no issues with you sharing a personal recollection from your life. What happened, happened, and it's your life. What I took issue with was what Jezebel was trying to achieve by posting this. Jez is a site where 99.9% of the articles posted come with a bias, a message, a slant, a…

I'm glad and thankful you guys were able to articulate the issue here better than my ill-advised glib first comment in that other thread. That may have been the wrong foot to start on, I admit, but a lot of those responses were just attack, attack, attack. When I first posted that comment, I honestly thought the…
