Agreed, completely. I’ve been really surprised by the vehemence over the hack here at Gawker.

This is incredibly well said.

Britney does not need your pity. She’s a wonder and a treasure and she’s totally slaying lately.

Oh man. I do the same thing with music. Listening to sad shit is not cathartic, it just makes you sadder. Why I would put on bloody shoe-gazing Brooklyn hipster music when I’m already depressed is a mystery for the ages.

Do Democrats practice similar types of gerrymandering/voter disenfranchisement?

Good Christ, Demi is fucking hot. That hair, that swagger, that everything. Hot damn.

This is true. Urban Decay, an outspoken cruelty free brand, tried to enter the Chinese market a few years ago (and stepped in it by saying something to the effect of “we’re looking forward to working with Chinese authorities to repeal the law,” to which the authorities volleyed a “fuck off” back). This - combined with…

Ahhh, the Sweet Valley twins. Identical from their aquamarine eyes to their perfect size six figures - aside, of course, from the mole on Elizabeth’s left shoulder.

Why was it the worst sex you’ve ever had (and could it simply have been the awkwardness of the threesome)?

I actually never heard of forcible hair cutting as some sort of punishment until this video. It does seem dark and really violating. I had a pretty unfortunate childhood, but this would have fucked me up big time (well, even more).

The comments here are pretty much as expected. Even in the climbing world, Potter was (and likely will remain) a divisive figure. Based on what I’ve read about the accident, he and Hunt miscalculated their jump. An occupational hazard with unfortunately fatal results. Is pointing that out victim-blaming? I don’t think…

Girl, I need a cigarette. That was beauty.

Please tellllllll us!

Good Christ he is awesome. Thanks for the find, I’m off to listen to everything he’s put out.

I use these, too! They’re fantastic. Super sharp and the exposed razor means you’re not irritating an area by going over it endlessly.

Hey - watching from HK but the ABC site seems to be fine! Give it a shot. I also think I saw some of the segments up on YouTube.

I thought there was more of an Elton John vibe, actually...

This - this - is where you're going to plant your flag? It's E.L. James, a shitty writer who has profited off of a shitty book with her harmful depictions of BDSM relationships. She has further allowed the unfathomable popularity (I mean that literally, because I can point you in the direction of decent BDSM erotica…

I have an irrational love for Rihanna, but will have to disagree on the character of her voice. She's either singing through her nose or she's screeching. More than makes up for it with sheer presence and swagger (helps that she's stunning)- as does Madonna for her own vocal shortcomings.

You're right in many respects and I think we need to continue have these sorts of conversations. I think you're downplaying the true success of ISIS' recruitment efforts, however. While the numbers from their attempts to recruit Western-based Muslims are probably not probably aren't particularly high, they're…
