"These are things I have never even heard of," he told the paper. "It is impossible to believe these things are true. This is not how the Missoula County Attorney's Office conducts itself. These are half-truths, mistruths and maybe even outright lies."

I find it, shall we say, incredibly suspect that people who brag about their IQs always have an IQ "in the neighborhood of 160."

Yeah, this whole idea that women should withhold sex so that men are forced into marrying them if they want to get laid (because why else would a man ever want to commit to a relationship, amirite?) is fucked up and pretty insulting to both men and women. It sounds like one of those shitty PUA tactics where they're…

It doesn't wrap everything up - you don't find out why Area X is the way it is, just follow the characters as they experience the weirdness - but you get the full story of the narrator's expedition there.

It lost me as soon as they had their first date or hangout session or whatever and he was all "Lie down in the street for no reason! Why are you so uptight?" And then their big romance featured them having tantrumy fights where she melodramatically pounds him with her fists and then he hits himself. Just...pass.

This is a big irritation for me with "horror-comedy" films or low-budget horror films that are an "homage" to B-movies. They don't take themselves seriously enough to be scary, but they're also never actually funny. I don't know if this is really a reflection of what Millennials want to see in their entertainment or…

Nah, if I pick up a book and see that - especially if the rest of the trilogy/cycle/what have you has not been published yet - it actually tends to put me off. I read Robin Hobb and George R.R. Martin, so I've got nothing against long series, but not every story needs multiple books, and often these pre-planned…

I have been led seriously astray by these lists before (looking at you, The Bone Season), but I read Annihilation and Archetype and enjoyed both. Neither were the kind of great that I'm going to read and re-read, but I liked Annihilation enough that I'll definitely be checking out the sequel to see how the story…

Uh oh, in what way is Jeff Vandermeer a twat? I just read Annihilation and was going to check out his other stuff, but I don't know anything about him.

I really recommend reading the judge's findings in the Allen/Farrow custody case (linked in Maureen Orth's fact-checking article). Allen had been in therapy regarding his inappropriate behavior with Dylan - before the abuse allegation or Mia finding out about Allen and Soon-Yi. The psychologist refers to it as not…

It doesn't really make any sense for Vivid to make her sign a contract saying that she has to pretend it's a sex tape if they didn't make James Deen sign the same contract, which they clearly didn't since he said from the get-go that it was a porno. I also doubt that a porn company would 1) be that invested in…

Those Hayden Kays "here's some text" pieces look exactly like something you could buy at Target or Hobby Lobby (except with more white space and in the case of Hobby Lobby, less Jesus). "Live. Laugh. Love."

This one was from an actor friend of mine, regarding Singer's propensity to use the casting couch to net "questionably young" guys. A quick Google shows that's apparently not news to the internet, though.

I was just pondering the appropriateness of posting similar gossip.

Yeah, they were referring to this article in the NY Times where some women "mean girled" a woman dressed in skimpy clothing. It's all "OMG women are competitive and aggressive!" No word given on how this fact makes women solely responsible for slut shaming, nor does it address the whole issue of men doing things like…

I don't really read the front page comments because it's all a bunch of entitled white twenty-year-olds who are always wetting their pants about how men should get to hit women who hit them first, or coming up with brilliant ideas about how poor people just shouldn't have kids, or (today) trumpeting articles about how…

I've been reading the r/creepypms sub on Reddit, and it's really kind of amazing how many of the inappropriate come-on, unsolicited dick pic messages utilize some form of PUA strategy.

I do like big muscles, but Tom Hiddleston has a perfectly nice physique also and is obviously very fit. He's just got a runner's build instead of a football player/bodybuilder build. From what I've seen he wears the hell out of a suit, too.

I deliver unto you some of my favorites:

Vin Diesel's Facebook page is amazing. He posts Photoshopped pictures of himself with inspirational quotes. Like what teen girls do with Marilyn Monroe and "If you can't handle me at my worst you don't deserve me at my best," but of himself. He also writes...meaningful life reflections...with thoughtful…
