They're fairly active in Boston—they hit all the campus bulletin boards twice a semester with their "The TRUTH about PSYCHIATRY!" pamphlets, which usually last about thirty minutes before they're torn up and thrown away, and they sometimes fight the Jehovah's Witnesses for prime pamphleteering space on our pathetic…

I have no opinion about Iggy Azalea one way or the other. But anyone calling her "Igloo Australia" sounds like a 4th grade playground bully and makes me want to disagree with them just out of principle.

This might betray my lowbrow origins, but if a restaurant guaranteed that a pig, two clowns and a bee would have a big nightly chase scene I would eat there five times a week.

Ooooo, your mention of how comics-Firestorm was actually two people made a lightbulb go off in my head. What if 'our' Professor Wells is an imposter who thinks he successfully assassinated the real one, and the real Professor is the second personality in Ronnie's head?

GRRM's good at writing about things breaking down and getting crappier, but I haven't ever seen any sign that he's interested in or has the ability to actually describe a situation getting better. I'll actually be surprised if he finishes, but if he does it'll be because he's written himself into an apocalypse where…

I hope and suspect that her backup plan is to have her three smallest bridesmaids dress up as corgis and be held by the other three.

Martha Stewart does this and then sits in a barrel of water for three hours to make her artisanal lemonade.

I will never in my life get tired of watching this video. Karma's rarely been so laser-guided.

While I'm completely on the side of the Rams players here, I also feel like any time someone uses the "Sorry if you were offended" nonpology they should get a short sharp electric shock.

Has George been apologizing somewhere outside of io9? All I've seen of an "owning up to this" from him have been his three sentences about how they went back and talked to more people and made the original article "much better". Y'know, the way adding more frosting to a cake made of horse dung makes the cake…

I'll add this news article, describing how two PETA workers stole a family dog off a porch (apparently they mistook it for a stray), euthanized it, then apologized by giving the family a fruit basket: http://www.delmarvanow.com/story/news/loc…

Jay's the crux of the entire thing. His story never, ever made sense to me even before they started poking holes in the timing of it, and his responses when they finally spoke with him made me even more convinced. The way he asked "Well, who did it then?" makes no sense coming from someone who actually watched Adnan…

Help! My Maine Town's Potato Festival Falls on the Same Weekend as my Ren Faire

I dunno...given the tone of the others, I interpreted "rude to my cat" to mean something like "YOU BURPED IN HIS PRESENCE".

The injustice??? Are they horrible human beings generally, or is this just a huge enormous blind spot for them?

What baffles me about the steak story is the other people at the table who let this idiocy keep going. Were they as stupid as she was? Or were they part of her entourage and terrified that she'd fire them if they tried to correct her? "Remember what happened to River when she tried to explain that horseshoe crabs…

I'd say that calling this a dance video is a stretch, but I grew up in Maine and the moves in this video are still better than anything we pulled off at prom.

"The law was challenged in Jew Ho v...." That's one of the most unfortunate names I've ever seen, and I get regular letters from someone named Max Wang. #sidetracked

I see one post like this in every Halloween article, and it always baffles me. Why say this? Are you trolling? Or is this really such an issue for you that you have an unstoppable urge to insult 99.9% of the commenters, even though you must realize what a jerk it makes you sound like?

It was Boston, though. I just chalked it up to MIT's Department of Anti-Alien Science being on the case.
