My most baffling cheater moment was when my high school boyfriend told me those hickeys on his neck were bruises that he got from playing soccer. Dumb, dumb Jessica. But it turns out that jerk’s lame lie was actually not the most ridiculous thing a cheater has ever said. “Things cheaters say” is a trending […]
Over the weekend, my brother from another mother—and The Frisky’s Mind of Man—John DeVore posted a link to a funny slideshow on Dumb as a Blog called “10 Reasons You Should Be Banned From The Internet.” Such reasons include “you still check your MySpace account,” “you stalk your ex,” and “you obsessively Google yourself.” Fair […]
It is impossible for me to write about Melissa Broder’s So Sad Today, a collection of essays based on Broder’s once anonymous Twitter account @SoSadToday, without talking about myself and my own anxiety and depression. I feel weird and embarrassed by that, I can assure you, but onward. One of the more frustrating manifestations of […]
Welp, that was interesting. Late yesterday, I told you about Justine Sacco, the IAC Communications Executive who tweeted a racist joke about AIDS shortly before departing on her flight to somewhere in Africa.

I have never been much of a Twitter […]
Twitter can be a very confusing place — especially if you’re not up on the newest trending joke, hashtag campaign, or abbreviations. Recently, I found myself wondering why everyone on Twitter has parentheses around their names. You might have noticed that many Twitter handles are now enclosed in triple parentheses, so it looks like @(((My Twitter Name))). […]
If Cinderella and other folk tales have taught us anything, it’s that a) picking spouses based on a foot fetish is OK when you’re rich and b) when someone rolls up in their chariot to take you on a journey, you might fall in love. As this woman’s epic quest to ask out her Uber driver demonstrates, though, sometimes […]
By now, everyone in the USA and beyond has made fun of Donald Trump’s hair, mouth, eyes, voice – hell everything about him – because he’s a cartoon character. A very scary, real, racist and absurd cartoon character. But I speak for many when I say that I did not expect something as absurd as […]
