Donald wears his merkin like a crown
He calls his child sexy
‘Cause he has no shame
And Jesus Christ, he’s such a fucking clown.

Donald, Donald likes his money
He makes a lot, he claims
Spends his days tweeting
From his cell phone, calling everybody names.

He was picked by racists and by fools one November day
When the New…

Yes, the Pope is indeed Catholic. The ongoing surprise about something that is literally the go-to example of “things that are extremely fucking obvious” baffles the hell out of me. He’s going to agree with the positions that the Catholic Church as an institution has held for centuries, many of which are crappy,…

She is the best. :)

Jenny Trout’s, by chance? Because her 50 Shades recaps are hilarious and scathing and wonderful.

Seriously. That is a real thing that happens that we’re apparently supposed to find sexy/romantic. On top of being an abyssmally bad writer, E.L. James is also completely fucked in the head.

I’d say it’s twofold - first, we tend associate someone looking straight forward at the camera with, well, being straightforward. Someone looking directly at you in good lighting suggests openness and transparency; someone looking at you sidelong and in shadow typically evokes shiftiness and dishonesty - when you…

While I agree that a “rehabilitate non-violent offenders, punish violent ones” dichotomy is much too simplistic (although I’m not sure that’s what StartingOverEasy was proposing), I think it’s absolutely reasonable for the goal of prison to be both rehabilitation and punishment, and for the degree to which we focus on…

Yeah, I think people making fun of this are seriously underestimating the thought that goes into these kinds of shoots and cover designs. It is not an accident that Trump’s cover image resembles Hitler’s in several significant ways. It’s not an accident that unlike every other Time Person of the Year cover in the…

I am rather amused that I just looked up this exact same gif to post in this comment thread before noticing that you’d beaten me to it.

Their super distinctive, wide-set eyes are the most obvious similarity, but honestly, a lot of their other features look pretty darn similar to me too. At least based on those photos, they seem to have similar face shapes, very similar mouths, fairly similar noses...they basically look like someone took the same face…

Yeah, this, much like the election, is a great example of “on the one hand, I think the principle behind democracy/jury trials is obviously a very good one, and on the other hand, the system breaks the fuck down when the people making those decisions have absolutely no idea how science or logic or government or the…

Except, again, it is how the human brain normally works. The way the human memory functions is such that the conditions outlined in the article (stress, exhaustion, a change in routine, etc.) can trick you into “knowing” that you did something you didn’t actually do. The statement that if you can forget your phone you…

Because people don’t get the point of it, it seems. We’re not talking about parents who meet the legal standard for criminal negligence, because if absolutely anyone can have that mental short-circuit that tricks them into thinking they’ve already dropped their child off and that it is entirely safe to leave the car…

I really recommend reading that article, because it makes a better argument than I could as to why you should care.

(Note: I think I screwed up the formatting somehow so that link isn’t linking, but if you c/p it, it’ll work. I wish I could still edit to fix that, but oh well.)

That is a good piece. (I wish it hadn’t ended with “Clinton is also bad because she’s pro-choice,” but at least the writer is clearly a Christian who’s actually trying to live the way she thinks the Bible instructs her to. I have a lot more respect for that sort of Christian than the ones who will happily ignore “love…

You absolutely are. I have the utmost sympathy for your loss, and I am genuinely in awe of your strength.

God, what an utter piece of shit.

One of the most depressing things I’ve seen recently was a Facebook post from a friend of a friend. Said FOAF is a conservative, white, Mormon woman living in Utah, and her post was essentially “You guys, how can we call ourselves Christians and oppose helping Syrian refugees? How can you think this isn’t your…

Yeah, I usually try not to mock celebrity baby names, but those are some god-awful baby names. I hope the kiddos very quickly become “Bram” and “Ro” or something.
