I thought that it was very clear that the Kardashians are trying to emulate the monarchies of days gone by. They are doing a bang up job.

“What will make you energized and motivated to be awesome today?” he said in an interview with Wired. “Is it an awesome shower in the morning, is it a great breakfast, is it a beautiful view? Or is it all of those things together?”

Literrally, the only thing one can say is that I hope those girls get support, someway somehow. Anything else would be deemed racist, sexist, revisionist, or islamophobic.

Did you just take a sharpie to the marshmellows?

My first dance was in the middle school cafeteria. I just spent the two hours playing basketball in the gym.

“It’s funny to watch [Japanese people] try and say it.”

I feel that if Wendi Deng was born in an era other than 60's China, she might have grown up to rule the world. And not necessarily in a good way.

The true winners, as always, are the divorce lawyers.

You referred to Drew Domalick as “Dominick” in this article. Good article though!

I’ve read a fair amount about the hijab, especially it being worn in the West. It seems that one of the more common motives is to wear it to rebel against Western colonialism and forced ideas of Western beauty and fashion. I just find it quaint sometimes that women will take advantage of Western freedoms to counter…

I absolutely love that it was Randy Johnson who threw the pitch. The bird can’t get lucky and stumble upon a Tim Wakefield 65mph knuckleball; no it has to fly into the path of the 6'11" Randy Johnson’s 100mph fastball.

Fascinating, thanks for point that out. Although I have to ask, why do you call the New Year’s sexual assaults “fake”?

But why now with the cars? Let’s assume that the policy is being implemented because some critical mass of women have complained about sexual harassment in the cars. Basically, it’s not economically feasible to provide women-only train cars if only .01% (ballpark figure) of your female ridership complains of sexual…

By all means, profile away. Just don’t get upset when someone else profiles the next bomb explosion in a public place as the work of a brown Muslim.

feel free to organize something

First, I’m talking about American reactions because you responded to a comment saying that people only care if this happens to Europeans or Americans. Obviously Europeans care about terrorist attacks in Europe, and Americans about terrorist attacks in America. Since this happened in Europe, I think you can give them a…

Do you not understand that more Americans have closer cultural and personal connections with the cities and people of Western Europe than with Ankara, Istanbul, or Grand Bassam? If we had to tweet our sympathies every time some jihadist killed an innocent person, that’d be all we’d tweet.

How will the hatred be overcome? No one has done anything to overcome it except for midnight police raids, drone attacks, and the obligatory thoughts and prayers.

One of Serena’s abilities that allows her to dominate Women’s Tennis is her serve. It’s a great fucking serve, and goes along with her dominating power shots. However, her serve would be quite common in the Men’s game. Her serve tops out at 129mph, and is the third fastest women’s serve of all time. That number…

What will people miss if Gawker Media goes under? My top two, in no specific order, are definitely Jezebel and FoxTrotAlpha, with Deadspin and Gawker itself coming in distant third/fourth.
