My mom worked for Northwest Airlines growing up so I could fly for pennies until I was out of college. I can't believe my parents actually allowed this but once I flew to Indiana when I was in high school to meet a guy I had been chatting with on AOL for a while. I was 17 and pretty much was only interested in…

I think the guy who took the germy nail in the foot should win this one.

Got married.

This piece was funnier than any article about sweatpants has a right to be.

Tara Jacoby = far better than these pants.

I used to irrationally hate on Anne, then one day I decided to stop. I can now say with pride that I no longer hate Anne Hathaway and will continue to support her clothing choices and haircut however heinous they are.

As a straight, white male in the midwest, I have learned a LOT from your writing. There's nothing related to justice in a defense that preys on the bigotry and stupidity of the close-minded. How anyone, anywhere feels that their lifestyle is better than anyone else's is just so insane to contemplate.

That may well be, but gay panic? How about "this dude, whose sexuality is completely irrelevant, had a history of making me fear for my safety." The issue here is not that there weren't mitigating factors potentially, the issue here is that homophobia was presented as one of them, and it's not. Even if the harassment…

Kat, I'm sure you know this already, but you've been killing it lately. Your articles are always educational and eye opening in some way. Thank you.

What a waste of money. 30 grand could have put a couple of those sex dolls through college.

Jesus. I thought it was uncomfortably intimate and gross to have to share a bathroom with my sister.

It sounds like there is only one person who can solve this!

I live in San Jose, where we've had a bag ban for a couple years now. I STILL have a cabinet overstuffed with plastic bags, from the pre-ban days.

Don't worry; my grandma has stored up enough under the sink to get us straight through to the apocalypse.

There is not going to be an ebola epidemic in the US. Repeat after me: THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE AN EBOLA EPIDEMIC IN THE US. Our health care system, public health resources, and an overall trust of the medical community will prevent the virus from getting a foot hold. There is a high index of suspicion for the…

I'm gonna feel reaaaalllllly stupid if this spreads right after I spent a good 1/2 hour convincing my paranoid cousin that our westernized medicine, hygiene habits and social infrastructure would not support an ebola outbreak here in the US.

Lets keep this civil and not mock this man for his physical disability, mkay?

Only in that I am the person behind all of these YouTube accounts.
