The sister and her husband seem like good people but I wonder who’s decision was it to hire their Sandy Hook denying, having a beard being made fun of as the rationale for murder, they want to take all the guns away, crazy pants lawyer of theirs? I question the character of whoever hired that nutbag.

Absolutely they are. I feel as bad for the loved ones of the killers in these situations (assuming of course they had nothing to do with it) as anybody else in that first circle of hurt. There was a shooting in my community a couple years ago and the father of one of the victims and th father of the killer got…

Saudi Arabia, again?

I think they’re cute. I can’t quite articulate the appeal, but on most guys, it makes them look immediately approachable.

I mean that’s Dolly’s whole thing though. She celebrates the great parts of her family and culture even though they obviously struggled. That’s why she made Dollywood as a celebration and to bring jobs into her community so others wouldn’t struggle as much as she did. Her tiny house model isn’t there as a woe is me…

Seriously. This makes me think about some family friends we had growing up - the mom let her kid play Mortal Kombat and had no problem with the violence (which included ripping out your opponents spine), yet the minute a character showed up that was wearing a bra that gave her massive cleavage, she wouldn’t let him…

Men who think the point of feminism is to provide them with another justification to decide what women should wear:

The Views Weighs In... With Uninformed Speculation

Women in America are taught to love mediocre white men and that’s him in a nutshell.

I think LaBeau makes a good point that we haven’t heard from the others yet, namely that it’s not just Deen, but others, too. There should be some kind of industry-wide shakeup to make sure things like this don’t happen any more. If we’re not careful, we might think kicking Deen out of the business is enough, when…

A few months ago, there was a really strong and strange (to me) critique of the movie Hot Girls Wanted for shining a light on an aspect of the porn industry that is very woman un-friendly. The article read to me like it was accusing the documentary producers of taking a hardline, anti-porn stand, which I don’t think…

Two crazy outdoor-voice heffas with out of control blood sugar munching on carbs and sweets?

The whole “dribbles before he shoots” thing isn’t some freak of nature thing, and it’s exactly why the pull out method is NOT a good method to use. Pack any kind of fluid into a reservoir with a pressurized escape valve and there will always always ALWAYS be a chance that some might “leak through” during the…

What you’re talking about is what I would call the Welp! method. “I wasn’t sure and then it happened. Welp!” And it worked out well for you but there are plenty of mothers to whom it happened and they didn’t love it.

Sex workers deserve the same respect and safety from harm and abuse as any other human being does.

Go to court with what? There’s little the justice system can do at this point.

I’m a big believer in happy healthy bdsm based relationships and consensual encounters, of that kind but sadly in that community there are a HUGE number of men who use that as an excuse to be abusive to women toward women instead of being in a health D/s relationship or having a SS&C encounter. It wouldn’t surprise me…

Kelly, I thank the gods of Gawker Media that Pictorial was saved, because it’s one of the most engaging and interesting sites on the Gawker spectrum, and you do a great job.

This image really gets to the heart of what kickstarted the real change in public sanitation - cheap microscopes. They not only gave scientists the ideas that go into germ theory, but once they became inexpensive enough to be readily available, a certain number of interested laypersons could see for themselves what…
