I mean, I have a bleeding heart and a probably naive take on criminal behavior, and this guy is not one of the ones who is getting the benefit of the doubt. He clearly murdered her, and is desperately making up one story after another. The best thing you can say in his defense is that he clearly has never put any…

Who amongst us hasn’t dismembered a body?

That defense actually worked for Robert Durst. He said he didn’t kill a guy but he did dismember the body and dispose of it. You know. For reasons.

It worked for Robert Durst in Texas. Let’s hope Denmark isn’t as fucked up as Texas.

I knew that the abuse was an open secret with Weinstein (I had even heard about it, and I couldn’t be more removed from Hollywood professionally or geographically), but I hadn’t heard anything about Spacey being abusive. Was that also an open secret?

Women expire at 27...did these people watch “The House Bunny?”

My mother, who is typically very modern, and levelheaded informed me that “I was settling, by dating my bf”, and that “If you lost some weight in the middle, that you could meet a stellar guy.” My bf is perfectly fine, and I accept my belly.

My high school AP English teacher and my college Intro to Lit instructor informed the young women in my class that they should find a husband in college. The former went to CAL and the latter, a local state school. Both were women. I was also told that women expire at age 27. This was told to me by two male…

Let’s not attack the victim here. Let’s recognize that he remains, as a consequence of his abusive childhood, at the stunted emotional development of a young child. Let’s place the blame for his immaturity and inability to recognize other victims where it belongs on his attackers and his parents and everyone who…

It’s a very uncomfortable situation. I absolutely believe his claims, and I think that he’s been traumatized his whole life. Maybe people are actively trying to kill him. I can see his fear and desire for better security regardless.

.....is the kind of shit that people say about victims.

As someone who is, in addition to being the target of the hatred from racists, ALSO a Naval Academy graduate who completed the Marine Corps Sniper School at Quantico AND the only officer in my CBG to serve as a ship’s sniper (usually a job for the enlisted, but I was by far the best shot), I’d like to tell you that…

Whatever you do, never be the voice of reason in a pitchfork mob (which is mostly what the former gawker sites are). They have no problem with violent behavior, even as they condemn violence.

Just because I don’t think it’s ok to murder them pre-emptively doesn’t mean I don’t think they are the antithesis of all that is good in the world.

Pretty sure the plural of “octopus” is “octobros,” because an octopus is nature’s bro and will totally stunt on your ass

People in the 2800's who are picking through landfills/large bodies of water will really wonder why we made all this plastic

I know they aren’t dolphins, but octopuses are smart as hell, too. All I can think now is... does this mean the Vogons are coming to just blow us all up soon?

It’s terrifying and sad and yet what are we doing to change it. I’m a bit tired of people sobbing over marine creatures then buying truckloads of Nestle candy or keeping exotic fish in their living rooms (look up cyanide fishing). If you care, speak out for public transport, avoid plastic like the plague. Look up…

So, in the menacing stranger category, an ultimately OK but potentially harrowing thing happened to me last night. I was walking home in the after work hours last night but the sun had gone down. I live in NYC on a pretty busy block and there are three buildings in a row with lighted awnings. A group of ladies was…
