True story, I dated a guy who lived down the street from the ice cream truck depot in the West Village. Around 5pm, every summer evening, they all roll out as an adorably coordinated sugar-fueled cheer army. The jingles were always delightful because even though they were loud, they just sound like happiness.

Please don’t downplay or normalize domestic violence by calling it a ‘dispute’. Disputes are over control of the remote, this was an act of violence against a woman.

Zillow gets its images from local MLS services, which in turn gets them from the real estate agents who market the properties. Each step in that chain has an EULA with an irrevocable, permanent license to use the images for any business purpose forever, but not a release of copyright. So really the people she’s…

I’m a Renaissance art historian. Madonnas were not modeled on prostitutes. In the 15th century they were specifically modeled on ideals of beauty rather than any one person. Most painted and sculpted ladies have a standard “period face” that makes them look pretty similar, albeit with variations depending on a…

Knowing a bit a about art history, isn’t it actually very likely that many if not most Madonnas were modeled on prostitutes? Seems naive to think they wouldn’t be...

“There was a general principle that a person should not put himself in a dangerous situation.”

Dude: “It’s in the Torah”

Somewhere, Nicole Kidman is reading this and cackling.

My 13 year old daughter does special fx! She’s attending a camp for it next week and I’m really excited. She’s self-taught so far so it’ll be interesting to see how/if she changes technique with instruction. Here’s her latest:

noun nui·sance \ˈnü-sən(t)s, ˈnyü-\
an annoying or troublesome person, thing, or situation

After Christmas, I went to pick up my car from the body shop. As I was waiting, I asked my service rep (early 40s white dude) how was his holiday. He said horrible. He proceeded to tell me that he found out his grandfather molested his aunt (his grandfather’s stepdaughter) and his other aunt (the grandfather’s bio…

No to play Captain Obvious here, but that person who said you deserved getting your breast twisted for talking to the guy? That person is not your friend.

That man is absolutely not your friend and you have no obligation to be nice, to communicate with him, to make eye contact with him, see him ever again, nothing at all. Block his number and warn your other friends.

Wow...further proof that those who run Facebook are simply complete assholes. BBC should have reported Facebook for receiving child porn just to stick it to them. Technically Facebook did ask for the pictures, which is *also* illegal. Just wow...

“That is not me. That is not him,” Norton said in court.

“I really believe women’s bodies were functioning this way in years past.”

Or, people could just stop feeling embarrassed by feminine products and just get over it. There is no reason that a woman should feel shame (or society make her feel shame) for using something like a tampon. People need to loosen up a little. As for this whole glue thing, I’m not a doctor, but I suspect that it is a…

The point isn’t that people are outraged about the amount of golf that D. James Trump is playing. It’s that the people who complained about Obama are now OK with it.

“And speaking as a golfer, who goddamn really cares about how much golf these guys play?”

The Trumper last bastion of credibility: defend the golf record.
