I am seriously taken aback by all the comments that minimize the alarm that we should all feel as a result of these serious encroachments on our privacy. By way of background not only am I am a prosecutor, but I’ve also recently had an iPhone (along with about $15 worth of change) stolen from my car, which was parked…

YouTube dramas make me feel like saying “ok boomer” to MYSELF.

Don’t forget, that teenage girlfriend was also definitely experiencing a lot of untreated mental illness at the time.

He tries SO HARD to show how solid his relationship with Jessica Biel is. To me, that screams insecurity. The gestures on Instagram, the long poetic posts....and this MOTHERFUCKER made a career on the infidelity mistakes his teenage girlfriend made. Its sickening.

It feels like less like a coming forward with the truth moment than a rollout for a Real Survivors of R. Kelly reality show.

I mean, is it just me or is it weird that she essentially made a teaser/promo video for her tale of abuse, and is then putting it behind a paywall and charging people for it?

My high school yearbooks didn’t have quotes, probably because increasing each senior’s page real estate would have created a yearbook the size of the Yellow Pages. So the closest thing to a quote for me was what I wrote as a PS when I signed my friends’ yearbooks senior year:

For me, it was a television that got more than three channels. Whenever the State of the Union on, there was no television for us!

My niece thought out neighbors were rich because that had 5 different kinds of cereal in the cupboard.

I’m a disorganized slob, but I cannot stand a full trashcan. As in, I’ll be running late for work, and I’ll still drop everything and empty it. I can’t sleep if know there’s a full trashcan in my house.

I know this comment isn’t related to any of the headlines in the post but I am truly sad that Deadspin is over. 

Seriously. That and that humblebrag ass thrift store one. Jesus. “So the fry cook and I saunter over to the 1950's garage and the gentleman confesses to the murder. Quite an odd morning I suppose, but what a great haul!”

Guyyyysss, who approved the Ouija board story?

By acclaim, Sorcia McNasty’s story about the haunted truck would go in there, and I’m still going to stand by my contention that the freakiest story I ever read on here was IndianaJoan’s story “911 Calling.”

I honestly feel like something like this will be what brings him down. Not legal issues, or ethical violations....it will be something like a crowd booing and wounding his fragile little ego that will cause him to quit and let the world know, arms crossed and lip sticking out, that he didn’t want to be president…

I remember the good old days of trying to come up with the perfect lyrics to express my teenage angst in my AIM away messages. 

To everyone complaining that I don’t understand how TIF’s work, try reading the last decade’s worth of well researched articles by Ben Joravsky about what a fucking scam TIF’s are, and how they siphon money from schools and into the pockets of developers and corporations: https://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/Search?ke…

The average pay is higher than 60% of the residents because they perform a job that requires higher education and annual training. I’ll never understand why you don’t hold accountants and lawyers to the same “why do we pay them” standards.

Where is the hoisting??

Fucking hell. If you are older than 11, please put some fucking punctuation in that giant sentence.
