- Shia LaBeouf Plagiarizes In Lame Apology For Plagiarizing Daniel Clowes’ Comic: The second plagiarism is just funny, but the original instance is pretty appalling.
- The Perfect Solution to Obnoxiously Loud Public Cellphone Conversations: I love this… but I’m not sure if I want to do it to someone else or have it done to me!
- York University professor who refused student’s request to be separated from female classmates broke ‘obligation to accommodate’: officials: The request by the student not to participate in a group project with women was absurd, and the professor was right to deny it. Given that the student was fine with that outcome, for the university administration to force the professor to acquiesce to it seems bizarre.
- Chuck ‘Freakin’ Norris: Chuck spoofs the awesome Claude Van Damme commercial for Volvo. I’m not really impressed though… the planes aren’t going backwards.
- Pigeon Interview: “You’ve seen nothing until you’ve seen a picture of a pigeon having a job interview to become a pigeon.” Really!
- What I Wish I’d Said To The Woman Who Was Judging Me: This story — particularly the very end — is very powerful. Would that we all — me included — did this. It’s just too easy to be angry.
- Beautiful Google India Ad Is A Must Watch: Agreed! What a lovely, touching story — and I love that such is part of what Google makes possible.
- The 23 Most Unforgivable Spelling Mistakes Of 201: As Paul Hsieh? can verify, I stopped breathing for a while when I reached #9, the misspelling of “Filet mignon.” #3 — “vicariously” — also sent me into hysterics.
- I accompanied someone to the police station to report a sexual assault, and this is what happened: Some of his criticisms seem over-the-top, but overall, I’d have to regard the treatment of this woman by the police as pretty deplorable.
- My life of hell in an Afghan harem: Wow, what a harrowing story.
- Five Economic Reforms Millennials Should Be Fighting For: This is satire, right? Right? My brain refuses to believe that anyone could be so fantastically stupid about the basics of economic reality.
