Way worse than Ariana. Ariana, at least to my knowledge, never pulled a hi-larious sexual assault prank:

As long as she doesn’t have any transgender students, that is.  They might feel somewhat less engaged.

I know people have been saying this for ages, but a blogger with a science/stats background would be very useful here. The study pertains particularly to skipping breakfast as a weight-loss strategy, and the mean difference in skipping vs. not skipping was 0.44 kg (a little less than 1 pound). The abstract of the…

Travel is always good and educational. (Well, mostly.) I remember tooling around London the first time when Dubya was still president, feeling like a vulgar, dumb American, and then I took a ride on the Tube while a woman spewed a rant as hate-filled and racist as I’d ever heard in America. I don’t want to say I felt…

Any reason why this article erases Stoya? The writer reduces her to just accuser and “ex-girlfriend.” Stoya was arguably a much more popular performer at the time, and she continues to be an interesting writer on issues of sexuality. She deserves better than to become the nameless accuser and ex-girlfriend.

Never forget that Oregon was started as a whites-only territory, and 170+ years later, clearly a lot of people there still feel pretty much the same:

They’ve already been towed to that guy who was basically running a junkyard on his lawn. No low ballers.

Echoing another poster—research that case. McDonald’s was negligent, and the woman involved got some stupendously bad burn injuries to her groin. We’re talking nightmare stuff.

I am heartened by the fact that I’m not the only one tired of RN’s shtick.

I do remember her doing some shoving and hitting on the show. It all makes me feel sorry for the kids. Not a lot of positive role models in this family for how to deal with conflict without using your fists.

I wish I still had the link, but there used to be a blog where a fellow who was fluent in several languages—I think both Chinese and Japanese—and you could send him a picture and ask him what your tattoo really said. It turns out that a lot of tattoo artists have “charts” that map English letters onto random logograms,…

In William Gibson’s book “Pattern Recognition,” the main character has a deep-seated, visceral reaction of fear/disgust when seeing the Michelin Man.  Now that I’ve seen the older costumes, it makes much more sense.

I feel like “stinking of stale booze” isn’t one of the things I would usually look for in a glamorous ambassador-type person.

Surely they could just stamp the same messages on to actual pieces of chalk instead.  They’d taste better.

I thought I recognized her name--really enjoyed Age of Miracles.  Will check this one out.

It’s too bad Cardi B and Trashcan Lannister (borrowed that from someone else) can’t focus on their commonalities, like transphobic bigotry.

Matthew 5:6, “When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, that is all the reward they will ever get...oh shit, you’re not even reading this part anymore, are you?  You went back Leviticus to obsess…

I always suspected that part of the problem was also the “classic” failure of law not keeping up with technology (especially when the average age of legislators is probably about 83). Before the proliferation of camera phones, actually taking an upskirt picture would be at least slightly challenging. Crawling around…

Hard agree. Hailey’s face strongly suggests she has never had a complete thought in her life, and Bieber looks like the guy who thinks he’s going to “clean up” as a contractor, even though he’s never held a power tool in his life. I feel dumber every time I see these two.

She concluded, “Implying that a drunk woman has no control of her actions, but that a drunk man does strips women of all moral responsibility.”
