Where I live, developers re-devloped an area next to the river and sold condos and overpriced apartments to rich idiots. Know what else it was next to, and the reason the place used to be where the SROs and really, really horrible, cheap apartments was? It was also right next to the train station. As in, less than a…

I don’t live in Austin, but seriously fuck these people. People who move into an established neighborhood and then complain about what’s already established are the worst of humanity.

True story, I dated a guy who lived down the street from the ice cream truck depot in the West Village. Around 5pm, every summer evening, they all roll out as an adorably coordinated sugar-fueled cheer army. The jingles were always delightful because even though they were loud, they just sound like happiness.

I don’t think children should be punished for the sins of their parents, but they also damn well shouldn’t profit from them. And no one is going to convince me that she’d have this fancy schmancy business if her father hadn’t been a murderous tyrant.

That’s because there is absolutely no argument that can be made for thinning the population of any big game animals. Population is already in decline due to human encroachment and climate change, and now we have rich assholes literally driving their jeeps up to slaughter what’s left.

And you’re using the word “sport” loosely. Using dogs to round up animals to drive them towards hunters armed with guns doesn’t seem like much of a sport.

I have little sympathy for a man who spent his life killing animals for sport with no intention of using them for food or resources.

I’m only sad that the elephant that killed him died.

I genuinely feel bad for the musicians, vendors, carpenters, and other service providers who have been burned by these fuckers. Making your living is hard enough without having to chase fraudsters who take your time and labor and fail to pay, let alone getting your equipment stuck in customs for debts that are not…

Smoking is gross. Indoor smoking is even more gross. Indoor smoking that ruins original art pieces and haute couture gowns people spent months making for these idiots is reprehensible.

This is a pretty amazing use of being a celebrity, really inspiring people to stay in school ‘n’ the such. Hope this starts an avalanche of others in similar positions.

Love what Minaj did. Sometimes students really just need a cash payment, not to have to fill out pages for scholarships that amount to piddly squat.

This Labrador would be better at governance.

I’m getting pregnant just thinking about it!

Any man who speaks about abortion should have to provide at least 5 referral letters from real women who he has spent more than 20 minutes with and at least one romantic partner. Also they need to be able to point out he essential parts of lady anatomy otherwise SHUT UP

A thing that gets overlooked a lot is that radium, uranium and the like are all heavy metals in addition to being radioactive, so they’re dangerous as a chemical poison on top of being radiation sources. Radium is in the same column of the periodic table as calcium, so it tends to put itself in your body as a cut-rate…

“Literally on the same site you have the lab workers, who were dealing with larger amounts of radium. They are wearing lead aprons, they are using ivory-tipped tongs to handle the radium, they are given enforced holidays so that they have to take a vacation every now and again so that they’re not exposed to the radium…

My Iranian friend is a biomedical engineer. With the help of her professor, she designed a type of wrist-watch device that could detect if the wearer is having a stroke about a 1/2 hour before it happens. Sends a signal to the smartphone to contact paramedics. She hasn’t been able to get any funding from VCs that…

When women start doing that to me, and hit them with the “ehn, mine’s a little on the slow side, but he’s sweet and happy, but I drank like a fish through most of my pregnancy, so [shrug!]”

My wife nearly went insane reading our local Brooklyn neighborhood mommy board. I gently suggested she not read it because it seemed that everyone was just trying to outdo each other with how smart their kid was, how quickly they reached benchmarks, etc.
