1. Fuck her.

I see. I'm sure it's a lot of work getting kids to do it - like chores, I imagine.

I don't have kids, but can't they bathe themselves by age 7? I remember my mom drawing a bath for me at the place we lived when I was in kindergarten, but I would do my own washing and drying off. The next year we moved to a place that had a shower and I was able to do that all by myself. I remember needing help with

You'll like this one then. Once I took a Greyhound bus and the seats were way more narrow, and the rows much tighter than any airplane. I'm 5'5" and a size 8 and could barely wedge my ass into the seat, and when I did my knees were touching the seat in front of me. The back of the seat in front of me was just a few

That's just bonkers. I wish the end of the story was you putting her purse in the middle of your seat and sitting down on it hard. Repeatedly.

I give this apology a B-. I thought it showed a level of self-awareness and humility that wouldn't be present if he wasn't sincere. Sure, the fact that he was up against a deadline is no excuse, but if you take out those bits I like it.

This is terrible. It's like people are just looking for something to focus their hate on these days. The internet has turned too many of us into armchair vigilantes. I'd go so far as to say this post is irresponsible, inflammatory, and gratuitous.

The problem about abandoning the word "feminist" is that when we deny we're feminist it implies all sorts of negative things. It implies that we reject the image of feminists, part of which is being strong, outspoken women. It also implies we've been put in our place and accept our traditional role. It implies that

Share it!

That was the creepiest one of all for me, I think it felt somewhat real because of a news story I read a few years ago about a little girl who had been complaining to her parents about someone standing at the foot of her bed every night. They assumed she was having nightmares and assured her there was no one there.

You're absolutely right. As horrible as blackface is, very few people outside the pages of Gawker are aware than any skin-darkening makeup on a white person is considered blackface. Or yellowface, or brownface, etc. I think it's safe to say that the majority of white people think blackface is only those horrible

There's someone named Aoife in the UK branch of our company (we're in LA). We only communicate by email. So for a long time when we didn't know better we called her "Aye-oh-if".

Not to split hairs, but Picard did have hair - just not on the top. The sides and back of his head had short, white hair that blended in with the color of his scalp. Patrick Stewart did shave his head as Professor X, though. And he looked damn good.

I wonder what Mike Byerly thinks of all this.

Oh, wow. That was just awesome. Many thanks.

Thank you. The end of the post was obnoxious. Respect someone for someone who's openly shallow and self-centered? It doesn't take "pure commitment" to be an a-hole, Ayn. Anyone can stop trying to give a shit about others - it's actually easier than giving a shit.

Brits selling off important historical stuff - what's next? Are they going to sell the London Bridge or something?

This is a great point. A lot of comics explore racism, sexism and other social issues through satire, or irony, but a lot of the time it comes across as a thinly-disguised excuse to say offensive things without having to apologize. I don't know if you'd agree with this, but I think Stephan Colbert's satire works

I'll take it one step further - long painted nails are gross. Period. I don't associate them with porn - I think they look freakish and disgusting in any context.
