I haven't seen the show. When he's preparing, say, a steak, or chicken, after slowly drizzling on oil, does he confidently rub it in, pausing to give it a few good, tenderizing smacks? Because that's absolutely what I'd like him to do to me...(cough)...at. Sorry. Meat. Do that to meat.

In the first instance the defence you would argue wouldn't be self-defence, it'd be provocation. Therefore SYG is irrelevant.

While I truly wish GZ were behind bars, the problem I think is not the jurors, but Florida law. Under Florida law, it doesn't matter who stalked who, who the aggressor was, who threw the first punch. If you feel yourself to be in serious danger, you can use deadly force. Now, that's insane, because it creates a great…

The prosecution did not present an airtight case that zimmerman never, at any point, feared for his life. The jury instructions explicitly reminded jurors to consider that he had the right to use deadly force if he reasonably believed his life was in danger. The verdict is a massive disappointment, but it is the last…

I don't blame them at all. The internet will probably id B37 before long, and I hope she enjoys how her little bid for fame pans out. But the other jurors do not deserve anything similar.

This headline is a thing of beauty. Truly. Thank you.

Homophobes throw the worst parties.

Seems like the opposite of a gay pride parade would be a no-dancing-no-costumes-no-glitter-no-fun parade (you know, no gay things), which is NOT a parade I want to see...

How does joining the mainstream by renouncing a sexual orientation that is actively discriminated against qualify you as "voiceless"?

For the record, I agreed with Ahmir that black men get profiled everywhere, all the time, and it's inappropriate and fucking racist. He didn't write the essay about standing in line or being in some other public place and some racist white woman got uncomfortable. They were in an elevator together alone at night. I…

I took the joke to be the idea that a wedding guest would wear a wedding dress - it's the ultimate faux pas. Nothing at all about size or race, just about etiquette.

In the context of being Eric Roberts' daughter (he has been arrested for assault, resisting arrest, and several drug charges), I hope Emma's learned healthier ways to deal with explosive anger than those her father has displayed in the past.

The Emma Roberts story is reminding me how differently we react to different types of people. And it seems to be pertinent with all the news going on right now... Young white girl bloodies and bites her boyfriend, and we simply say, hey Emma, don't do that! But then I replace Emma Roberts with Chris Brown beating…

I agree the Bryan Cranston story needs context, and LAist provided it earlier today: http://laist.com/2013/07/16/bry…

Part of me would love to encourage the right wing to continue its Implosion Tour 2013, but I don't hate myself or other women enough to actually subject myself to these piece of shit bills, either.

Wait, wait, so there's a "Lil Debbie"... And she isn't a snack cake?

Enobaria was not a supermodel with razor teeth. She was somewhat of a brute. Why does Hollywood have to make every female character "hot"? It detracts so much from films when every single female character whether she's a cop or a waitress has model good looks.

Okay you guys. Apologies in advance because I'm gonna pull a major fangirl wank right now...

As someone who just came out of college student government (though honestly, it should be called and considered college unionism by both people in the organization and outside of it), real shit gets done. We oversaw a staff of 200 student employees and 2 million dollars, governed how student fee money was spent,…

What shocks me is how unsafe people feel with the truly low crime rate this country has had for the last decade. To put it in perspective, there were around 16,500 homicides last year out of 316,668,657 people. That gives me an almost 1 in 20,000 chance of being murder. You know, I can live with those odds without…
