I have a student named Isis. Her family is originally from Syria. It has been a rough few months for her, though she's still quite loud-and-proud about her name!

Oh where, oh where has the Afroduck gone? Oh where, oh where could he be? (Toronto, maybe.)

Bonus points for using "rake," "deign," and "callow" all in the same paragraph, Pinkham. Even more bonus points for spelling "deign" correctly. It's a good day for word nerds around these parts.

In the not-too-distant future banning visible tattoos mean you will have virtually no workforce pool to draw from, so there's that.

There is this whole idea of "international dick-wagging" that goes on when blowing up targets like this. Basically, countries want to show ISIS that "we have big jets and we can blow up anything, including your shitty dump trucks". Sending a drone is more efficient, yes, but sending a jet also sends a message of fear.

Is cost effectiveness ever considered? Why not use a drone with a cheap cannon to deal with dump trucks or the like? If we don't have that, why are we not building them?

Why spending millions on missiles, jet fuel, and support to destroy a $500 clapped out old dump truck?

The driver's name is on the emailed receipt. That's how she knew it.

I'm trying to write a personal essay about Jian Ghomeshi and the CBC and it's just so disjointed. I'm very frustrated with myself at the moment.

It's a little murkier than that. The bodily harm line of cases arose in the context of consensual fist fights. The court said it's not assault to hit someone if you've both entered into a fist fight since there's an implied invitation for the person to hit you. But as is often the case, one party can take things too…

I encountered tons of Europeans wearing socks and sandals, so Idk.

I guess there's no polite way to say this — and this is certainly not directed at you, Isha — but, man, it would be really nice if Jezebel could leave Amanda Bynes alone for awhile. Besides, whatever it is that she's going through right now does not belong in a breezy gossip round-up column.

MOTHERFUCKIN ROBOT UNICORN ATTACK!

what the fuck is happening in these pictures.

If last year was any indication he just might have been holding her back...

Or concerned about Ebola.

So the next morning, I'm driving out to my local CarMax in the Ferrari, and a thought hits me: What if they recognize me? I've been doing these Range Rover columns for a while, and they're pretty popular, and I've received quite a few e-mails from current and former CarMax employees, sharing some funny stories of…

If Norway's fast food workers get paid 24 an hour, and Sweden's just got moved up to $20 an hour, the wages weren't that similar.

Not only that, I'd be willing to pay $3 more for a combo meal than I do currently if I knew the person behind the counter was making double than they made at their last job and not that the extra $3 was going into the CEO's Olympic pool-sized change jar to save up for that new penthouse on the Riviera...

The wages have BEEN similar. Would I be willing to pay $3 more for a combo meal than I currently do if I made double what I made at my last job?
