Palpatine seems like George Clooney compared to that guy.

I could never stop washing myself if this crawled on me.

This Duggar saga continues to get more twisted & sickening with every new article I read. I bet there is a lot more that will no doubt be uncovered about the quiverfull movement & other families just like the Duggars. Hopefully some of this exposure will be a catalyst into getting women & young girls out of these…

“under his interests, Hutchens listed ‘Strangers With Candy,’”

It’s the infinite onion of horror, each layer that is pealed away reveals new terrors.

I was going to make a joke here , maybe about how this sack of shit looks like one of the War Boys from the new Mad Max movie. Well i just can’t. This whole story just gets worse and more digusting with every new development. Over on Gawker i’m already seeing Duggar backlash. Why are you still coveirng this? Move on…

Every single story about these guys. Every single story.

I’m a bachelor who only uses one dish at a time. (I’ve never turned on the dishwasher my apartment came with.)

My mom grew up washing clothes in an outdoor, concrete ‘tub’, in Portugal, so maybe that’s where the ‘cold water only’ stance came from. lol

I drink the water in Alabama. I’m even spoiled on Colorado and Hawaii water, but I drink it from the tap because fuck buying water when I already pay for it.

Are you saying “Burns” or “Boo-urns?!?”

I’m going to continue to not watch this show.

I’ve never been into the show. To me, it always reminded me of when every comic book decided to go “grim and gritty” in the 90s. One most juvenile things to believe is that constant senseless hopelessness and violence are somehow inherently mature. It’s a 13 year old boy’s vision of what adult art should be like.

The omission of Seymour Skinner has me as steamed as a ham.

Thank you! My academic training specialized in disasters, so while I in no way enjoy catastrophes and the social trauma they cause, I do appreciate that io9 gives me an avenue to share what I know about how these disasters happen.

Mika, I want to point out that this is probably the most complete and interesting news-article that I have seen on this earthquake.

How big is Wales in Rhode Islands?

In the UK a double decker bus is one of those standard comparative measurements used in news pieces. As long as a football pitch and an area the size of Wales probably round out the top three.

That metaphor in the final paragraph is, just by itself, worth the price of admission.
