When you look to the Oscars to do some Big Grand Gesture About Society, you know what you get? Crash winning Best Picture over Brokeback Mountain, Capote and Good Night and Good Luck.

White people who get indignant about this kind of shit on Twitter usually don't actually care about the larger issues, they just want to be recognized for appearing to care.

So if I read this comment you posted, get mad at it, hunt you down and hit you in the back of the head with a shovel, does that make it your fault because you put yourself in that position in the first place? I mean, if you didn't want to get hit in the back of the head with a shovel, you probably shouldn't have…

Thank you for responding to my joke. I'm glad you were clear in telling me multiple times that you were not blaming the victim, because I was starting to worry a little bit that you were.

For small-time guys like I've used, word of mouth. He has a site (www.excelsuits.com) which is pretty janky and shitty looking to be honest, but not a bad place to contact him and see if he'll be in your area for measurements, etc. Despite how everything looks on that site, the actual product is top notch.

Like, why the fuck would she leave her couch there?

The best part is that a circle gets you to exactly the same place you started, meaning no meaningful progress has or will be made. That along with "jack of all trades" being used as a compliment make me want to burn all the offices.

Re: the high school dance boner.

A manly man like you already knows how to chop wood, so why on earth would you need to read about it? But there are a lot of manly men who don't have a live-in unpaid cook, and they do still need to feed themselves. Basic life skills are for everyone. Just because you're too lazy to take care of yourself doesn't mean…

No offense meant, as the old wives tale of "defrosting things in hot water is a huge no-no" has been around forever, but Harold McGee (who I assume you know quite well as you have a culinary degree and were a professional cook), with the help of the USDA food labs, thoroughly debunked that one about 4 years ago in a…

Streamline weeknights by taking advance prep a step further: Keep some cooked protein in the freezer. Save the shreds from the chicken carcass (before you turn it into stock) and pack it by handfuls into Ziploc bags. Or buy a big tray of boneless, skinless breasts when they're on sale, poach them (don't be scared,…

Ah, an excuse to post my favorite royal baby moment.

Also Step Up Marriage continues!!! I have seen almost all these movies in the theater (sometimes it's *just* me)

"She tourniquets her arm at the elbow with an ice pick and towel, washes the blood off, puts the offending knife onto the gas fire, heats it to a nice brick red and...wait for it...cauterize her own arm."

Yes, that's how Ed Brooke became the first African-American U.S. Senator to be elected since Reconstruction, because the most populous region in the Commonwealth is that racist.

I'm very important, I have many leather bound books and my apartment smells of rich mahogany.

One of the many that kind of sum it up.

We're not celebrating. For anyone who wants to join the effort to stop this: http://www.nobostonolympics.org/

The Olympic torch will be lit using sparks from the electric chair used to execute Dzhokhar Tsarnaev.

Boston was never asked if they wanted this— the Boston 2024 coalition refused to hold any public meetings, and it consists largely of a construction firm and other businesses that would profit greatly. Cambridge City Council, which would need to be on board given its proximity, has already voted against this.
