And that's so indicative of the problem, isn't it? These cops have carte blanche, including tacit permission to harass citizens without identifying themselves. A reporter or civilian snaps a photo of a cop doing some shady business—that should be jumped on by higher-ups or a disciplinary committee or SOMEONE in…

"As many have asked, do the Ferguson authorities know we can see them?"

Toot Toot! Pedantic express! "It's a brasserie. It's from France."

I never miss an opportunity to use "warbling". Such a terrible-sounding word that is so fun to say!

I really feel that this article was a missed opportunity to use the phrase "warbling Warbeck".

Hey, thanks for voicing this. I have no children, but I teach 7th and 8th graders and it is gut-churning just how driven these kids are by sexualized images and the media-driven idea of what they are "supposed" to look and act like. I buy things from Land's End* partly because their clothes are modeled on women that…

My favorite drug store moment is walking up to a register at 9:30 at night with tampons, doritos, some ice cream and a bottle of wine. The cashier was a middle aged woman who sighed and said "girl, I've been there" and she threw in a candy bar for free. #livingthedream

GAAAAHHHHHDDD pretty sure I had several tattoo chokers in 2002, mostly thanks to vending machines in pizza joints. Katy Perry, that is not cool.

The source article states, "The image is taken from a French magazine shoot by the photographers Sofia Sanchez and Mauro Mongiello, for a 2008 fashion article entitled Mommie Dearest."

JAM JOKE! ROLLSNIDEROLL JUST GOT JAMMED!

FWIW (and know that I harbor no illusions about Katy Perry's limited musical ability) I think sometimes these pop singers and producers push songs notes to the edge of the singer's range to make the song sound more "emotionally moving". I remember hearing that Smokey Robinson would sometimes bump songs up a key or…

Solid! I am rewarding myself with a treat for my pretend game show win.

Looks like Eartha Kitt to me. When and where, I don't know.

Indeed. Catholic school teacher here. We sign a covenant (our principal even sits with us and discusses the difference—this is a covenant, not a contract) that essentially pledges us to live according to Catholic principles. This is an overtly religious, non-profit organization, not a big box chain craft store. …

It's especially surprising because one of the scientists who invented birth control, John Rock, was a devout Catholic who believed the pill was well within the parameters of the church's own taught and prescribed form of birth control, the ever-faulty rhythm method. He even wrote a book about how it should be OK with…

Fellow pixie grower-outer, I am with you. There is absolutely no way that this bob style is 100% her own, grown out hair. I know she's JLaw, but even she lacks magic follicles that produce 5 months of growth in a matter of weeks. It's a supplementary weave, yo, as I'm sure are the vast majority of hollywood…

I'm okay with the photo—I really dislike the weird red daisy waistband so keeping it covered is cool in my book, but it's not the best pic for anyone who does like the dress!

This is exquisite. Absolutely flawless.
