This past November, Cleveland Police Officer Timothy Loehmann jumped out of his car and fatally shot twelve-year-old Tamir Rice, who was playing in the park with a toy gun. He and his partner Frank Garmback then tackled his 14-year-old sister who was coming to the boy’s aid, handcuffed her and put her in their vehicle, […]
I first saw the photo above come across my feed when a friend posted it. Soon, it was popping up everywhere. A disturbing family photo, this one went straight past “awkward” or “silly,” and right into “creepy,” “terrifyingly sad” and “nauseating.” The photo shows a family of five, seated in an idyllic meadow. The mother […]
Last night’s CNBC GOP Debate was supposed to focus on economics and policy.

You know, like not giving a fuck about poor people, thinking gay people don’t deserve the same rights as them, attacking a […]
We might be a bit biased, but we think hyphenated last names are awesome. They’re more unique and egalitarian than a single last name, and trust us, they’re great conversation starters. The only problem? Some of the conversations they start are not particularly enjoyable. Yes, it is “a lot of letters.” Yes, our moms were […]
“The Amazing Race”, which we’re totally sick of if we’re being honest, is still airing after 11 years, yet we will never have the pleasure of seeing another episode of “Blind Date” again. It doesn’t seem right. Why was that show cancelled? It was 27 minutes of pure entertainment. It captured the awkwardness of dating […]
