I get your point, but I'm not sure that there's a better way to get someone's attention. I work in downtown Chicago and watched a woman texting/placing a call while pulling out of a parking garage almost hit several pedestrians in the middle of rush hour. So I knocked on her window, told her it was illegal and…

Can we stop treating this as a zero-sum game? (Addressing some of the responses I'm seeing, not Lindy.) I say this about patriarchy all the time, and I'll say it about weight policing and beauty standards:

I just want to walk up to Justin Beiber and push him.

Aaaaand cue the outrage—outrage!—of some omnivores at being reminded that some of the things they squee over are also some of the things they like to eat.

So does Harry Styles like:

Weird, I guessed right!

My first thought when I saw this pic was "Desperately Seeking Susan".

Let's not forget that Alito did the same thing to President Obama not so long ago . . .

[Post Script, this time with numbers!]

"It Happened To Me: I Was Raped At Disney World And Nobody Cared"

I was vegan for approximately 2 years. Eating vegan is the easiest part of being vegan. It's dealing with everyone else that kills your spirit.

Finally we can call Oprah a success

Usually there is a good reason for cute things to happen. It's likely that this seagull wanted to trick some worms into coming to the surface so he could MERCILESSLY BUTCHER THEM WITH HIS RAZOR-LIKE MURDER BEAK.

did you read "Bossypants"? Tina Fey talks about a time when she first started that they put Chris Kattan in a dress rather than let a female cast member play the woman in a sketch. Later in the book, she calls back to it years later, saying that one of the female cast members was really funny "but not Chris Kattan in…
