Agreed. I don’t like Bieber a bit, but I don’t want him having a nervous breakdown or ODing or something either.

Also, who do we think LA Reid is talking about here?

Yeah like... I wanted to hate that news but honestly Tyra is probably one of the best people to lecture on personal branding. The Kardashians would be ideal but Tyra is a good choice.

Learning how to smize changed my (instagram) life. Thanks Tyra!

“The people of Gizmodo.” Guess what, man: we’ve found your fort, and we’re bringing all our friends and a case of Natty Light and a boombox, and there ain’t nothing you can do about it.

Also, the Gizmodo homepage could be snazzier.

There were a lot of ways she fell through the cracks because of her mom’s abuse and outside coincidence - sometimes a doctor wouldn’t provide the diagnosis the mom was looking for, so they would just change doctors. Or the fact that they were victims of Hurricane Katrina, so the mom just claimed the medical records…

This is another serious question - who was operating on a patient that obviously didn’t have the conditions that would require the operations? It sounds like a serious breach of ethics on the part of the surgeons. The whole thing is heart-wrenching. The daughter should have been taken away from this monster by social…

Yes, obviously, murder is not a good thing, but how can this woman be held to the same standard as someone of sound mind who had a relatively normal upbringing? Most of us would know we had other options. Did she? Did she fully comprehend that she had legal options, given her upbringing, and the physical/mental…

I’m going to have to disagree with you on that one. It sort of justifies it. I’m not saying she should go free, but 10 years sounds about right to me

This actually sounds like self-defense. I realize it doesn’t fit the legal definition, but given the torture this woman endured at her mother’s hands, is it really so difficult to understand how someone in her position could snap?

There is zero public interest in releasing a victim’s name. It is done for public spectacle and to ensure that she will be harassed, humiliated and doubted as is typical of victims of sexual assault. This is so disgusting and I cannot believe that people are still sending their kids to this hell hole.

No correction needed, this is exactly what is happening :(

So, basically, they are attempting to blackmail the family into silence with the threat of releasing her name. I mean, that’s what it sounds like to me. Correct me if that’s wrong.

I would rather have chips than Snapchat anyway. She’s on to something.

i love this.

I’m so fucking tired.

Blerg, I’m sorry.

I’m thinking of leaving my husband, or bludgeoning him, and I have to say the start of the school year has prompted the groundhogesque sensation of being trapped with him in an infinite loop of undone household chores and parent/teacher meetings and its frankly almost more than I can fucking take. Although maybe I'll…

So, according to this chart, cats are the cause of divorce.
