"From this am I to gather that females would prefer that female characters be made less sexually attractive? Practicality in design is laudable. Making attractive characters less attractive for no discernible reason is less laudable."

I think making characters less attractive is laudable. Would Jonah Hex be a better…

"Females"

Some guy at a party once tried to tell us all that merpeople were real because he saw a documentary about it. When we IMDBed his documentary and it was clearly labeled a mockumentary, he scoffed, "IMDB is no more reliable than Wikipedia." True story.

now i kinda want to hear tig notaro read the importance of being earnest.

just keep blocking literally hundreds of sickos dogpiling your account every day for months? i don't think you understand what is happening to people.

lol, what do you expect the police to do? most of them don't even understand what twitter is. they will tell you to "turn off the computer", not realizing that many of…

She was a PR executive... Have you not heard that companies check your social media profile to make sure you aren't an asshole/etc before hiring you? This is the same thing. I find it hard to feel sympathy for someone who did something so dumb. If she had sent this "joke" in an email to a client, you would be okay…

I take it you're a dude?

"I'm coming to your house at XYZ St. with a knife. Your mutilated corpse will be on the news tomorrow."

From a scientific point of view, seeing a deviation that enormous is a serious red flag. Typically when you're talking about outliers you see something on the order of 10 to 15% in extreme cases. 500% is the mother of all anomalies. In a lab, when you see something that unusual it's a good idea to check your…

The air pressure argument, while plausible, is moot—either way is moot—because there wasn't enough relevant data collected at the right time. A critical piece of information that is missing is the air temperature of the room at the time the ball was inflated. Most people I've seen working out the Ideal Gas Law…

Best I can tell, she's inadvertently saying all of us are fucking idiots for trying to talk sports, logic, or math with a woman.

Whoa man, slow down

I, for one, am glad you went into emergency medicine, because someone is going to have to treat thugcat's kinjury...

Considering the fact that you suggested that because I'm a woman I should have gone into pediatrics instead of emergency medicine, no.

I don't care about 31 other teams because 31 other teams haven't got caught... Including the Colts who's balls were checked to be OK, so that is actually 3o teams.

If deflating a ball is so minuscule why can't the Patriots just own it?

Roger Goodell: [Roger hears a drip in the motel bathroom] Weren't you the last one to use the bathroom?

thanks Gregggggg. You're talking about the integrity of a league that tried to ignore one of its stars punching out his fiancee in public.

I love the article so so so so so so much. SO MUCH. I am just afraid that the way it is being portrayed around the internet, people are thinking "tl;dr" - he hates the show i shouldn't watch it" and I don't want it to lose an audience because of that. I actually read comments that said a variation of that on a number…

I get angry at the people I love all the time. It doesn't mean I stop loving them.

MLK wasn't the only one fighting for civil rights but his message of love and peace didn't cost white liberals who supported him nothing. When he started talking about open housing and poverty in communities of colour, they abandoned him. Why do you think they only teach you that mushy stuff about MLK? It's cheap and…
