Exactly, he never even considered using his moment to do his proposal. He just took hers and she had no option, but to be gracious about it.

Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I think it does a disservice to the sport and to Biles herself when the press makes it seem like she utterly dominates over a weak field. I mean, the press always does this with gymnasts who cross over into pop culture; pretend they invented the sport, at the expense of all the…

I totally believe Hugh Grant is an asshole, but I also totally think none of those actresses are “down to earth” in real life.

Ann Coulter has the perfect WASP fat-to-bone-to-skin ratio. She's mostly condensed bone.

His wife’s family just wishes that he had been a good pilot.

My grandmother (Irish Catholic) took to her bed and wailed for 2 days straight when John-John died. We shared a bedroom at the time (I was like 15) so it was a real treat. That first day, when it hadn’t been confirmed that he was dead yet, was the worst. In between sobs she would just randomly yell things out,“THEY’RE…

I don’t think it’s odd that a single accusation is treated with skepticism (innocent until proven guilty) but a bevy of accusations or proof make the truth obvious.

It was fascinating to watch the Bill Cosby narrative shift seamlessly — and almost instantaneously — from “If he’s been doing this for so many years, there would be hundreds of victims, so he can’t possibly be guilty” to “All these accusers prove that women are just jumping on the bandwagon for a payday, so he can’t…

If a guy calls a girl a slut guys have no problem believing him. But if 40 women accuse a guy of being a sexual predator people still don’t believe them.

If you ever want to stop someone from clicking on a link to one of your stories I would say that putting “they were red like raw hamburger” in the title of some story on Roger Ailes and sexual harassment would be right up there.

I am more offended by the outdated dining room furniture.

the coins from the trevi fountain are collected at night and the funds are used to support low-cost supermarkets for people in need

Holmes, who founded Theranos in 2003, was practically ready-made for the tech industry’s self-published romance.

The good news is there is no evidence that Elizabeth Holmes has been inside a lab since 2002. Banning her from using PowerPoint would be the only way to sanction her actual career.

good for her. kris is doing a really good job of turning her makeup looks into a financial cash cow

Love those names! I think people don’t realize that every single puppy at a pet store is from a puppy mill because absolutely no responsible breeders or shelters would allow their animals to go to homes they hadn’t seen or people they hadn’t met.

It drives me nuts when people say of their cats or dogs “Oh I don’t want to take away his dignity!!!” like, okay, but the inevitable suffering and death of dozens of puppies or kittens is on your hands. Not to even mention scenarios like this one. Ugh.

Re: Keeping them out of situations — THANK YOU, as it bears repeating often. There was a doggie-at-the-park event in my city this weekend, as a fundraiser for our local shelter. The point was to bring your dog(s) IF they can handle being around hundreds of other people and dogs. I absolutely cannot believe how many…

I burnt out quickly. It was awful. The worst is that a lot of the hoarders made me feel bad for both them and the animals - they were almost always poor, elderly folk completely shut off from community, and they almost always were just trying to take in a stray cat and do a good thing that got out of control.

Every fight I’ve almost gotten in in recent years has been over dogs. Fucking dog owners and their sense of entitlement (before the “not all dog owners...” comments start, I know there are good, responsible dog owners out there). It’s pretty simple: if they shit anywhere other than your yard, clean it up; if they…
