Obligatory Jeff Koons shout-out. A gigantic puppy made of flowers!

The association between black and ghetto you're talking about isn't being made by Katie Baker or any of the others responding to this piece, it's made by the yoga studio owners and a million and one other racist Americans daily. Ghetto is used specifically to demarcate black/brown poverty from white poverty. The…

Wow. These comments... wow. It seems like everyone's either A. preoccupied with whether the kid is gay (really?! I can't even with some of you people speculating about a preteen's sexual preferences) or B. whether his parents are "exploiting him" by being open and honest about their choice to raise him in a…

I would watch the shit out of literally any show if it was hosted by Jujubee. ANY. SHOW.

Exactly. I managed to get all my info on this story from the MM4A article and Twitter, because there is no way in hell I'm giving a clickthru to that digital turd.

Wow. I am feeling some serious concert envy right now.

Totally agreed! If they had suddenly flip-flopped to some "let's party and drink, whee!" nonsense maybe it'd be a devolution, but Heartthrob is still as sharp as anything they've written. I love all their stuff, but I particularly love Heartthrob because I can listen to it on roadtrips without getting snoozy.

If this was a Hollaback-style project entirely made up of unsolicited pics then there'd be a good conversation to have. But as it is, this whole thing is disgusting. Beyond the obvious violation of the pictured mens' trust and autonomy, there's a whole layer of shaming aimed at women (and gay men on Grindr) who may, …

I know that in the UK men are guaranteed 2 weeks of paid paternity leave, and up to 26 weeks additional leave if their spouse returns to work. Australian law provides 18 weeks to whomever is declared the "primary caregiver," male or female. I would expect that's around average for many Western industrialized…

We all like what we like, but I think it's worth pointing out that there are entire ethnicities who, on average, have a difficult or impossible time growing what Americans would consider a "full beard." I always wondered about the speaking-in-code implications when people say "gentlemen prefer blonds," for example,…

This fucking shoe.

I totally agree — and while the "Footsie roll" (really? really?) is either A. totally unfeasible or B. something you're already doing because you're a foot fetishist — the idea of incorporating the condom into sex play is a really good idea and helps eliminate the "it slows things down and breaks the mood" argument…

The only reason we have to see so much of this half-brained schmuck recently is because RedState's other cofounder, Josh Treviño, lied his little red ass off to Politico about his role in a pay-for-play deal where conservative pundits wrote positive articles about Malaysia's Anwar Ibrahim. Conservative principles!

I'll take all the dick pics in the world if it means I never have to see another guy trying to take an awkward, spread-eagled shot of his b-hole in what is obviously an EconoLodge bathroom.

I wonder if circumcision is covered under most national health care programs? It was my understanding that only the US and Israel do it with any real frequency, so I'd be curious if European or Asian countries subsidize the procedure through their national healthcare.

Why do you assume it's "instead of?" Prisoners are allowed psychiatric counseling. Outside of incarceration, his family has enabled his illness and has not made any effort to get him the help he needs, even when the victim of his crimes attempted to reach out to them and get the stalker some mental health services.

We're hitting the hard edge of my bitterness tolerance, here :) I tried fernet branca once... also in Chicago, as it happens! It was intense. My hot weather go-to is Pernod and water if it's really hot — or the Greg Proops (1 oz vodka w/ 1 oz strained vodka over ice) if it's just kinda hot and I want to bitch about…

Bourbon lover solidarity! My go-to gin drink is a Gin Buck with the driest possible Ginger beer. I want that Ginger beer to have just crossed the Sahara on a camel's back in nothing but a pair of mesh shorts and flip flops. I want that ginger beer to be platinum-bleached blonde hair in February. I want dry. Same…

I made a similar comment elsewhere — I want to see this clump of human excreta put in front of as many microphones as possible. Let's get him a national leadership position in the GOP — RNC chair-dingus, perhaps? He can have Steve King come in and "punch up" his speeches before he gives them.

As a diehard liberal, I believe we all need to band together and get Louie Gohmert elevated to some position in the GOP leadership that gives him much more visibility. RNC chairperson, maybe? He and Steve King are like a gift; the assholes that never stop shitting.
