First off, the term "miles" doesn't equate to the actual number of miles you can fly—it equates to the number of miles you've flown

makes me want to do this:

This is the best.

theres a new sideboob photo of Rhianna????????

That is awesome. With this technique, you could write a program that GOT-ified people's names, put it on the Internet, get massive attention for one day, and then feel the crushing depression as everyone abandoned the site to look at Rhianna's new side boob photo.

Upbeat Ukulele riff? Check.
Blurred background? Check.
Simplistic logo? Check.

So it is a stereotypical promo video.

Too bad Jezebel doesn't cover The National Enquirer. This week they have a story about how Aniston can't handle Justin Theroux's bulging veins because they remind her of Angelina.

Can I play woodblock?

It's as if you've discovered a secret pocket of time that completely belongs to you, when you're out of reach of everyone else. Responsibilities temporarily disappear, because technically you can't take any action toward most of them until the next business day.

Everyone loves to lecture night owls on our "laziness" until they need someone to take charge during a pre-launch 10pm review...or visit an emergency room at 2am.

For me, I don't want to go to bed because it means the next thing I'll be doing, is waking up and having to start another less than fulfilling day.

For a while now, a tiny part of me has missed my depressive years when I did nothing but sleep. Because, at least I wasn't murdering my brain. Nowadays, quite honestly, it would take a solid few months to even start to get myself back on track. If I am so tired that I hit the sack with my toddler at 8:30 for three…

This. I'm in college and there have been a number of times when I've been distinctly uncomfortable with what was going on, but I was like "oh, I don't want to hurt his feelings" or "what if he gets angry?" Then I take a step back and realize that literally fearing anger (and possible violence) for rebuffing someone's…

Cosigned. As a fairly assertive feminist I have been shocked into silence a couple of times when threatened with violence and sexual harassment/assault. The thing is I can escalate with the best of them, if I see that you are building up to something terrible, I will match you blow for blow in intensity. But if, for…

Speaking from experience, it is very normal in that kind of situation to just panic and freeze and do things you don't want to do because you're in shock that it is happening and you just don't know of a good way to stop it. Speaking from experience, I tend to revert to the knee-jerk thought of "I don't want to be…

Mount Tambora is a stratovolcano, not a supervolcano, and the 1815 eruption, although massive, wasn't a supervolcano eruption. Ejecting about 160 cubic kilometers of material, It is classified as a VEI-7, an order of magnitude smaller than 1000+ cubic kilometers ejected from a supervolcano (VEI-8) eruption. The most…

Mmmm, Dat ash...

Daily Mail, man. Daily Mail

Yeah... My wife is from Brazil. We went to an island for two days as a part of our visiting her family (not near Rio). The water was polluted - and the source was likely all the ships entering port. I can remember seeing a constant stream of about 60 cargo vessels on the horizon every time I looked at the channel…
