It was in Austin. Not sure why he was here, but he did live here for a time when he was shooting Friday Night Lights so maybe he still has some connections.

Did you notice that the headline of this article quotes Peirs Morgan as saying the claims "demean women" but in the body of the article the quotes say "demeans real rape victims". Food for thought.

I enjoy Jez and most of the Gawker network as much as the next guy, but expecting consistent, quality "journalism:" is just gonna burn you out man. Expect clickbait, sarcasm and biased "reporting" with the occasional really good writing and you'll last longer.

(I used quotation marks because I recall all the claims

Or Candlejack. I me-

When a man is a victim of violence and the woman is an aggressor, why is this always viewed within a humorous lens? And there's always the idea that "although what she did is wrong, I understand what she was feeling". Domestic violence is not funny, period.

THIS. She's a charmer but there is nothing there that is extraordinarily WOW- like say Brooke Shields, who stunned a lot of people with her beauty as a child:

I wonder if Madame Tussaud's has a has-been vault. There have to been a ton of stars who were once famous enough to merit a wax figure but would now elicit a resounding "Who?" from any visitors to the museum. Or do they just melt down the Richard Greico statue and recycle the material for Kesha?

They should make an app for lonely extroverts to find each other so they can platonically meet for coffee and leave the introverts alone so they can get some peace. This app would make one million dollars.

My husband is also an introvert. We are your nightmare social friends who regularly back out of parties because one or both of us just can't bear the thought of having to actually, you know, talk to people. We are pathetic. My poor youngest son, who is veery outgoing, complained when he was two and no one would

I'm fascinated by the travails of the extroverts! As an introvert, I find the most stressful thing about the holidays is all the people. I just desperately need some alone time. It had not occurred to me that somewhere out there some extrovert is all alone, looking for someone to talk to?

Some of them really didn't.

so many gold stars. what about the ones that killed themselves? i was almost there a few times- hope she would give me some.

I just thought he swam everywhere.

I didn't want to reply to any one person in particular, I'm not trying to 'call anyone out' but the comments along the lines of "If you go out, then you obviously don't care about equality/justice" really bother me because the implication is that there is only one, universally broad way to respond to this. Quite a few

This is super dumb.

Maybe it was windy that day, but the phrase "flowing tresses" comes to mind when I look at his beard. It is unsettling.

I've yet to hear any other reason for the cop being labeled a racist. He may well be but you'd think if there were other situations that came up to make him look racist we would have heard about them by now.

So what you are saying is nothing will be right until there is blood for blood? Good thing you did not come up with the US judicial system.

Still not a W.E.B. DuBois quote. It was a guy on Twitter who goes by @fivefifths.

I'm going to ask an HONEST question here (and may regret it). Is the only evidence that Darren Wilson is racist that he killed a black teenager? He had no prior disciplinary actions, and I don't believe that I've heard other allegations of racist activity (unless one believes that being a member of the Ferguson police
