Out of curiosity, does anybody have data on elected judge states and domestic violence rates vs. appointed judge states?

Every time I head about someone going on a “mission” trip to Central America, I shudder.

You say that like that’s unusual when it comes to organized religion.

“We have already shut our adoption services, because we believe our children may not receive real love”

Not surprising considering the history and real legacy of Mother Theresa. Just following in her footsteps of actually hurting people instead of really helping. Luckily there are loads of amazing and cool nuns, but Mother Theresa and her order were/are not these people.

This is so sad. In 1978, I was one of two adopted babies allowed out of India. The adoption was through Missionaries of Charity. Given the long-ingrained contempt of women and girls in some aspects of Indian culture, to think that that many more children won’t be helped (mostly girls) is heartbreaking.

I got about thirty seconds through it before I had to stop. The embarrassing lyrics, the generic beats, the cliche videography... The strippers are a bad look given Hardy’s history, and the “crack a bitch” line (and I will admit I could not listen to this crime against eardrums long enough to reach that line) is…

Dear Deadspin,

I just googled and apparently the “é” in Raven-Symoné’s name is NOT pronounced. It’s the same as “Simone.” Now THAT is a crime against the accent aigu.

Sorry. I don’t mean it like that. I mean it more in a, “I may be showing my ignorance, but wish to be educated,” kind of tone of voice.

It’s not the job of this feature to educate readers about lupus—especially when Ms. Gomez doesn’t speak about it at length in what Billboard has released of the interview. She moves from lupus to her new album, so I moved from lupus to Bow Wow.

seriously the guggenheim is probably the best laid out museum ever. you have to try to miss stuff there. <3

Remember him for these:

And David Greene is my radio boyfriend, so I’mma kick her ass.

It was so uncomfortable and she came off as particularly obnoxious. I’ve seen comments today on the NPR site saying the interviewer didn’t know how to handle a strong woman and he softballed the questions and asked what she specifically didn’t want to talk about......no. He asked the usual book promotion type…

This fucking idiot below took a picture of his co-worker’s son, a beautiful two year old, and posted it on Facebook. His friends immediately started making racist comments...he responds with “this kid is feral” and joins in. Most of these assholes have been fired already, thank God!

Madeleine, you guys need to cover this bullshit. The shaming of the century has to befall these people.

My daily fantasy consists of both of these companies going away.
