There is a lot of sarcasm and snark here that I think is a bit callous. It's easy to brush it off as 'just stuff' and condemn us as a culture for being materialistic, but the fact is that the retail industry supports a LOT of jobs - 40 million + in the US, according to the National Retail Federation, and a bad holiday…

I don't know...we (in this context I basically mean liberals) condemn Republicans for being anti-science when it comes to evolution, climate change, and reproductive issues like abortion and contraception. And Jezebel for the most part, as a publication, has similar criticism for the anti-vaccination crowd. So why are…

Yeah, I came here to say that I know NOTHING about this dude except that apparently he is pretty sexy. Also, got to appreciate a man who can rock a leopard print scarf.

1. Sugar cookies are the most boring and disappointing of all Christmas, I can't believe DD would bother making a drink flavored like them.

I never understood the panic about Tinder, and the way people talked about it as "omg technology has reduced dating to this shallow hot or not business!" Because that's ALWAYS what dating has been. Tinder is WAY closer to dating in real life than any of the other big services. Sometimes people develop attraction for…

But it's a BIOLOGY book. It is about SCIENCE. And it is a SCIENTIFIC FACT that contraception prevents pregnancy. These poor students.

YES. Because if it were ALL cruelty it would be so much easier to bail. But it's the "kindness" or the "concern" that creates this prison of guilt - you feel it'd be disloyal or ungrateful to leave, or maybe you really do need to be a better person and are just too weak to stick it out. It really warps your whole…

Yes, totally agree. Even my husband (who is awesome, don't worry) looks at me like I'm a crazy person sometimes when I share details of the emotionally abusive relationship I was in years and years ago. I know exactly what he is thinking: "why would you of all people let that happen?" because that's what I think when…

beer gardens/halls are the perfect place to bring children where there is drinking . (1) people usually drink there during the day so it's not quite as raucous (2) it's loud anyway (3) there is a lot of space. So when your kid is making noise and making a mess and running around doing stuff? No one cares. They're…

"I know what it feels like for your soul to be diminished by the way your loved one is treating you…"

sorry, it's just that is very limited room for decent people in Homeland. It's got to be him or (spoiler alert, if anyone's behind) that poor kid that she seduced.

Seriously, makes you wonder if people like this even have any real friends, or if they just have people that they spend time with only when it's convenient.

Agreed, I thought they were careful to show that he was looking for human connection that she offered, regardless of size. But then I also wondered if there was a subtext of "LOOK ISN'T HE SCREWED UP because he is having sex with this fat woman." I don't know, I was just sad when he went running back into Carrie's…

So, I know that some couples are insensitive jerks, and that destination weddings can be a challenge for people who are financially strapped. I get it.

I get that this is ridiculous because BLOWOUTS and RICH LADIES....but honestly dealing with hair can be a bigger obstacle for women who want to work out regularly, and I think we rarely mention it because it makes you sound like.....well, like the 3x/week blowout lady. But I'll admit it: I don't even have particularly…

1. bar rescue is THE BEST "there is nothing else on TV show," despite it's blatant fakeness.

I work in apparel, and a lot of what is driving the marketing push for WW in active brands is the broader 'athleisure' trend - think fashion sweatpants (industry people like to call them 'joggers', I hate it), fashion sneakers, neoprene, fashion sweatshirts - that popped up on runways in the past 1-3 years and is now…

i think i'm willing to fudge the math for the sake of the stupid joke.

what do white girls and prime numbers have in common?

Really informative and thoughtful interview. It's so refreshing to hear/read someone's perspective on domestic abuse that respects the decisions of the victim and approaches with understanding and empathy instead of just pity (or, even worse, derision and victim-blaming).
