I can't wait to see how you cover the next instance of a male celebrity mercilessly attacking a female. I'm sure you'll spend a few posts over a few days wondering idly what his motivation for the attack will have been.

There's no way, people. I'm no industry insider, but I bet it's about professional entanglements. She asked Jay Z for a loan for her record label, and he answered that he will do that when she is able to sell more records than an Atlanta Real Housewife, to which she responded with the fit we've all seen. It's GOTTA be…

I've said it before and I'll say it again: No dick? No peace.

Women looking at pictures of hot guys and websites devoted to that pursuit cannot possibly be a novel enough idea to warrant reporting in 2014...

Are you kidding me? That's like arresting everyone whose name is written down as a "for a good time call" on suspicion of prostitution. A name on a wall is NOT probable cause for anything.

Honestly? You're being completely ridiculous.

Sounds reasonable...

This is the reason why I find assholes like Alex Jones and his ilk so reprehensible. People that I actually thought were decent were saying it was a false flag operation. "Obama killed those kids to take our guns!" or claimed it didn't happen at all. I am okay with an asteroid killing us all now. Well, most…

Wow. More proof that we need better mental healthcare in this country. So sad.

uh, she lunged at him with her whole body. and she was trying to kick him too. and not gently. that's physical violence. if you don't think that's physically violent, well i'm just glad i don't have you or people who think like you in my life. i've never seen my parents do anything like that to us, themselves or…

so what? that still doesn't justify becoming physically violent. and if she hates him so much, then don't go out with him and her sister. even if someone is goading you, once you resort to physical violence, you're the nutjob asshole.

Oh Justin GOD ISN"T REAL

I rarely have opinions on pop culture types because, meh, what do I care? I mean, as long as they're not beating (looking at you Solange), raping or otherwise abusing folks, I don't care how much tabloid time they take up. That said:

Good point about Cliven Bundy. I am bothered by the purpose of the whole panel. I am sick of black people having to justify their humanity and freedom by proving they don't deserve to be slaves, by proving we know what to do with our freedom. And if you don't do the exact right thing, then you're still thinking like a…

Because they are taught to shoot to stop. And this isn't the movies where the cop can land one perfect shot that stops a perp cold with no threat of return fire. So they are told to keep shooting until the threat is neutralized.

No.

I fucking hate people who try to get books banned. It's so...there isn't a word to describe how bad it is. Unless we're talking about a scientific piece of literature that has been debunked, (bell curve) there is nothing that can possibly justify banning a piece of literature. This country's love affair with…

Here I would have to say 'the plural of anecdote is not "data"'. Fitness professionals were all about red meat in the 40s, all about pasta in the 70s, etc. Fitness professionals fall into the category of 'motivated reasoning', and my money is on low adherence for the vast majority. Their choices are irrelevant. The…

Your assessment of Omega 3's from fish is somewhat flawed, AFAICT, though I'd be happy to look at any studies you can provide links to. Several causal studies have shown significant reduction in MI and nonfatal MI being related to increased consumption of oily fish; it's the fish oil PILLs that are failing to show…

Again, though, one size does not fit all, and many - perhaps most - people cannot get sufficient nutrition from a vegan diet. Several causal studies have shown that vegans are, on average, B vitamin deficient. Not all vegans, but enough vegans that the difference is statistically significant with a large effect size.…
