Yesterday’s New York Times Style section had a sobering little piece about single guys (mostly straight, though two gay men were quoted as well) in their 30s and 40s who are starting to realize that a successful career won’t massage their aching, aging knees and being the last guy to leave the club is not a […]
According to some old, bald, mustachioed man with a PhD writing for Psychology Today, it’s bad for dogs to hug them. This is based on what “Canine Corner” columnist Stanley Coren calls “new data,” but as far as I can tell, this data was compiled from his personal impressions of 250 photos of dogs being hugged by their […]
Source: istockphoto.com Facebook is making you gay—at least, according to Saudi Arabia. In recent weeks, government officials and local prosecutors have been attempting to curb what they reportedly believe is an outbreak of homosexuality caused by the widespread adoption of social media in the country. PinkNews, an LGBT-centric publication based in the U.K., is reporting […]
Kathryn Heigl is shilling for kitty litter now. I saw her in a Cat’s Pride commercial last night while I was watching Pretty Little Liars and did a double-take.

Toes are helpful for walking, obviously, but aesthetically aren’t much to look at. Feet smell. Feet get hot. An exposed foot, at the workplace, or god forbid, on the subway, removed from […]
It’s been fascinating to watch Vox over the last week. Last Wednesday, they posted an op-ed by written by a self-proclaimed liberal tenure-track professor who claimed that he was scared of his liberal students, because their zeal for identity politics is, in his view, threatening jobs in academia. Student complaints lodged not because they felt […]
The internet is a curio cabinet full of crap, some of which you need and some of which you really don’t. Nowhere is this more evident than on stock photo websites. We’ve spent a lot of time poring through stock photos, and really, nothing is more delightful than the curious results turned up by a casual […]
Like a fresh piece of pizza, my skin glistens — eh, just shines — with oil. I have big pores on my nose and cheeks and a t-zone that announces itself after lunch by shining like the top of the Chrysler building. There are millions of primers, powders, creams, and gels that I’ve tried slathering […]
