So this happened.
I dont’ see it lasting. I mean, she was with Adrien Brody for like two years and he bought her a castle and then she dumped him right quick for Olivier Martinez, who a couple months ago started banging Halle Berry, so these two have known each other (presumably) for as long as Jessica Simpson and her golddigger have known each other, and any attempt to paint theirs as a...

Islam, dream interpretation, and my grandfather →
Cross-link to my LJ, an explanation of an aspect of Islamic dream interpretation (rooted in the Quran’s stories of Prophet Yousef/Joseph, and the authentic narrations of the Prophet Muhammad (S)), and a retelling of a dream I had and what it presumably means under that framework.

This is actually a great message of coexistence, respect, harmony and non-violence….coming from the same assholes that brought weapons into the masjids.
SMH.
(For those wondering what I mean, in Islam, there are not supposed to be any weapons in a masjid. You don’t do that shit. In Pakistan, it was like that…until the Jamatis started storing weapons into the masjid and coming...

Enquirer: Natalie Portman is pissed that Mila... →
Totally, totally agree. Mila Kunis is so much better than that “eating meat is rape,” Roman Polanski supporting, serial relationship-wrecker Natalie Portman.
(Not that I want to absolve all the men who had girlfriends and quickly dumped them for Natalie, by calling HER the relationship-wrecker when it was those men who were in committed relationships. But you know what I mean.)

Okay, so, if true, this is pretty terrible, but I find the plethora of comments calling for her sterilization (some probably in snide jest, some that seem actually serious) absolutely appalling.

It is remarkable to me how many of these idiot commenters are operating under the (patently false) presumption that incest between a father and daughter can EVER be consensual.

Have i posted this here yet? Read it awhile back when it was first posted.
This was posted the same day that a prostitution ring was exposed and busted up by the cops in my predominantly white, upper middle class town. (It’s #2 in Money Magazine’s list of Best Cities to Live.)
I posted this article on Facebook with a lead-in talking about how the ring was busted up that very day in...

Rose tagged me. Because she is Rose and impossibly cool, I am compelled by equity to do the same. Equity adores Facebook memes, as the centuries-old maxim goes.

I complain about Facebook sometimes, but this is just unmitigatingly awesome. Good for you, Facebook, for showing your LGBT employees that you care about them. May other businesses follow suit. (I believe a couple American businesses already did this, but I might be wrong. I also don’t think this is the first time Facebook has done this, because I remember reading about this like 2 years ago...

The Tea Party loves low taxes so much that the Chief Exec of Nassau County, a county with the second highest property taxes in the country, lowered taxes and added $40M to the deficit in doing so and now the county is in complete fiscal crisis. BRILLIANT.

Horrifying. I can’t understand why people don’t call the police when they see pimps beating these girls. Are they really that desensitized to it? That afraid of retaliation? I’m asking seriously - I’ve never been to Oakland and have no idea what it’s like there.

Just this morning I was talking to one of my friends, who isn’t a law student and doesn’t ruminate on stuff like this for days on end because his life has lost all meaning outside of the law, about why the White House/State Dept wasn’t targeting the NYT or the Guardian or Le Monde or El Pais for reprinting the Wikileaks cables.
