Can't we have one nice story without a reminder of the horrible reality of politics in Australia? ;(

Screw your(?) 1st Amendment! This is AUSTRALIA. :P

Quantas Airlines, really?

this was largely moralistic. I work in opera; the LGBT presence in our field is and has always been massive. I could go on about how opera houses were like Gay bars before gay bars existed, but the point is, when this story hit, everyone in the opera world collectively lost their shit.

I agree that a wider range of reporting and the media especially can be blamed for much of the scare stories but the danger has increased. Primarily because of the internet, people are able to access these images a great deal easier and as mentioned on a previous article about the problems with porn and people…

What is the real issue with pedophiles seeing this pic? Is it the idea that it is gross that someone could see this picture and fantasize and masturbate to it? Because I'm pretty sure that pedophiles would still exist and still prey on little kids and harm them even if there were no naked pics of babies on the…

God, that's terrifying. Thank you for the work that you do.

Did she already know she'd become a mommy blogger when she named the kid Marlow, or does giving your kid a name like that somehow create the desire to blog about it?

I think you're probably right that it wouldn't work in your country. There's a page on the site that explains the legality issues; Customs regulations in most countries permit the shipment of a small amount of medication for personal use, and both mifepristone and misoprostol are used for medical conditions other than…

It was $2-3k at my vet school. I'm sure the family of the dog that walked super slowly before the surgery and then damn near dislocated my arm running to them after found it worth it.

That roo's not hiding its eyes, it's protecting its jaw! Australians are actually surprised and happy about how the world cup's gone - didn't expect to be even competitive, so this has been a very pleasant surprise. Spain... now that's embarrassing.

That is such horse shit. I have no idea what the statistics are, but I am willing to bet that at least half of the awful shit that happens to children, is done to them by their parents. The government had to make child labor laws because the parents were totally ok with their babes working 10 hour days in a dangerous…

Australia lost. But i give you lads kudos for fighting with a big heart. As big as your continent. It was a great match. You give it all out, better than Spain.

That was 13:00 local time, here in Brasil...

I recently spent $5400 to have an emergency spleen removal for my dog.. He developed a torsion of his spleen one night the next day he refused his breakfast and was pale as a ghost, by 2pm he was booked for surgery.. Two days in hospital and the cost was split between my local vet and the big ER Vet hospital but he is…

It wasn't eye surgery, but the cost of having a tumor removed from my dog's lung was around $7,000. My guess is eye surgery would be as much, if not more, due to the precision required.

We found an oral monthly med Trifexis really, really kicks fleas' asses. And it is priced according to its awesomeness, I gotta tell you. It prevents flea, tick and multiple worm infestations.

Loads of pet owners in the UK have pet insurance - most of the major banks and insurance providers have pet schemes alongside car, house and life insurance, plus there's a couple of companies like PetPlan who specialise in pet insurance - I pay £28 a month for our dog (he's not needed it yet, thankfully).

Not for cataract surgery. Several thousand, but not tens of thousands.
