This is why I like Tucson. People there know they live in a desert and act like it. Meanwhile, in So Cal., we live in a desert and act like it's a subtropical forest.

Here's the thing. Global warming is only going to make this shit WORSE. Water insecurity, rationing and droughts are another delightful thing we have to worry about. California and Detroit are just the beginning.

I'm biracial, and I have "good hair" (perfect, soft, corkscrew curls). It gets a lot of reactions, up to and including a random guy running out of a café as I walked past so he could touch it. The most common questions I get are asking me how I "get [my] hair to do that," or if it's my real hair at all. Two years…

Oh, he's array of sunshine, that one.

Well, I suppose no one ever made money by saying, "You're pretty great already!"

Where are the pivot charts? No VBA? Not even a goddamn surface diagram.

If this lackluster Excelmanship is any indication, this is a man who lacks passion.

It's like a hipster snuggie.

How quickly would my family and friends disown me if I got "no one gives a shit about your boner" tattooed across my chest?

Is it just me, or is Weird Al the thing that is making this week almost somewhat bearable?

My vote is- if someone smacks you in the genitals, you have a free pass. I didn't watch the video though, because I was worried I might be subjected to Tim McGraw's music.

At this point, I feel like I'm the only person in this country who can eat milk products and gluten with no problem.

I find it incredibly interesting that throughout all of this, she's consistently failed to mention that UT-Austin didn't reject her outright. They offered her a chance to attend one of its system campuses (UT-Dallas was floated as the best option), earn at least a 3.2 GPA during her freshman year (she maintained a…

Every time I see her, this is all I think of:

WHEN WILL JEZEBEL STOP DEFENDING THESE MONSTERS WHO LEAVE ADULTS IN CARS! IT WOULD BE A DIFFERENT STORY IF A MAN LEFT HIS WIFE IN THE CAR! MISANDRY!!!!!

Wait, I'm supposed to turn on this guy over an accusation made on the internet by a nameless, faceless person?

No. I reported on those contradictory statements because I was the one who unearthed many of them. I was very fair to both sides in my original piece and Oberst's team agrees.

To be fair, most of those women almost certainly dye their hair. As a fellow one-time bottle-blonde, I can spot my sisters in misguided hair styling.

One more thought — A TRADITIONAL WEDDING CEREMONY IS MEANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE SOMETIMES YOUR RELATIONSHIP WILL SUCK. That's why you promise to love and live with the person even if you get sicker or poorer, or things get all-around worse. I know we've all heard those words so often we don't quite register what they mean,…
