If only they had thought of this! Fast, easy haircuts and no mess afterwards. Anyone who doesn't tip gets the 'blender' setting.

So I am asking you, person of the internet, what's the deal with this Stephen Pinker fellow? Yea or nay?

My man is a major dandy and takes GREAT pleasure in getting dressed up and buying clothes. He totally thinks clothes are fun. Clothes shopping gives me anxiety, and I'd rather wear the same shapeless jersey dress forever because comfort. I find wearing make-up/dying my hair more fun than clothes. So... that's my…

I will fight you for the black jellybeans!

Oh my, those are the best.
