I was babysitting once and they had exactly this kind of thing where you could control the camera to move, etc. I periodically checked on toddler girl who was angelically sleeping during nap. The next time I turned it on and panned down, she was sitting upright directly in front of it, staring at me. Her eyes were…

I don't believe for a second that men have a higher tolerance of pain than women. Quite the opposite, in fact.

It all comes down to anti-bullying education, which no one seems to give a flying fart about.

Nah, mocking elective prosthetics doesn't count as body snarking. I believe that this issue was hashed out and resolved in the Real Housewives Crying through Botox article comments.

Misogynists marry women all the time. It means absolutely nothing about their actual feelings towards a person they are supposed to love or care about.

Also, stapling a squirrel to your head won't cure baldness.

A lot of interesting points have been made in the comments — seriously, this is the one site where I don't break out in a rash from reading comments — but no one has acknowledged that most disabilities and many "diversities" are invisible. Must you be flamboyantly out of the closet or declare that you are LGBTQ to all…

As we got on the bus, the driver barked, "All the way back", which didn't seem meaningful until I glanced to my right and stopped so…

I think you win this week.

When I go out with the dog, I toss bits of meaty dog treats in the street for the ravens, just so I cover my bases with them.

And this is why Margaret Atwood is my favorite. She gets to the core of things with surgical precision.

I've already dismissed like five of them. There's a reason that 40% of women killed worldwide are killed by a partner.
