You want an even more impressive story about “teen girl shoves bear”....hats off to Paxton Smith, who ditched her pre-approved valedictorian speech on Saturday to instead give a speech decrying the new anti-abortion laws in Texas. I’m actually amazed she wasn’t forcibly hauled off stage by her teachers.

Your three cats are probably hoping you do. I’m under no illusion that my cat wouldn’t make a few meals of me were I to die alone, but under its watch.

“Relatively small bear” is a mama bear with her cubs, and is relatively large enough to seriously fuck up a human.

Finally a case where I can be on both sides.

I would die for my 3 cats so I totally get her. 

Years ago on Letterman he had a woman on who had been jogging on a trail in Yellowstone and had startled a young adult bear as he came out of the woods. She escaped harm by grabbing her water bottle with the squirt cap top and spraying water into his face. He turned and ran. I can’t remember if he tried to bite her…

This whole “main character of your own life” is just fine until you expect the unsuspecting public to be unpaid extras. Boldly public declarations of love come to mind. Remember the triumphant scene in “Love, Actually” where Colin Firth stumbles into a busy restaurant to confess his love in halting Portuguese? The…

Wow. The dope is ME!!!!! My reading comprehension skills were laid to waste by the glory that is his love. 

Are they referring to the Bay Area? I live in SF and it is often referred to as the Bay but I am so grossed out by these cheesy posts that I don’t even care to confirm their location.

tripp spelled Bae “Bay”.

If someone orchestrated me an elaborate birthday party, it would be all over the socials for sure.

This has nothing to do with cultural appropriation. This is downright racism and minstrelsy. There is a difference between living in Japan where you’re THE dominant culture and represented well, versus living in the U.S. where you’re the minority. Japanese-Americans (and Asian Americans as a whole) have experienced…

The Japanese may not give a shit, but people of japanese descent living in our culture definitely feel some harmful stereotypes perpetrated by GS and her ilk. Context is everything.

Hahahaaaaaa she’s the Columbus of ska music! Amazing. In her mind ska only started when while people got into it.

Gawker sites are weird. Yesterday there was a blow-up in the comments because the Sandman articles on AV Club and Io9 reprinted the casting announcement which included all the actors’ pronouns, with the writers and most of the ungrayed commentariat agreeing it was a good thing. Today Lifehacker has a new article which…

Gwen is terrified to grow up. Literally wearing the same clothes and same look and sound from 25 years ago and simpering next to her “aw shucks, trucks” fiancé. Critically appraising her past choices is impossible as it’s threatening to her frozen sense of self. I don’t know what scared this woman who had everything…

You can take the girl out of Orange County BUT...

“We JuSt HaD sO mUcH mOrE fReEdOm entitlement.”

The only “requirement of her job” is to play tennis- not to be antagonized by someone who is not in her high pressure position and can freely provoke her for a soundbite. She is free to make any choice she wants, she just has to pay a fine/penalty. Good thing she is the highest paid female athlete in the world.

100% recommend for kids and adults. I have been using white noise since college and it helps me sleep so much better. Sure I am dependent on it but I always at least have my smart phone app to use and if something happened where white noise was no longer an option I’d just adapt.
