Penguins die in 'catastrophic' Antarctic breeding season.

Shouldn't have visited Trump in the White House.

[BestUsedCarSales]

That penguin in the first picture certainly has the look of someone who met Trump.

[SQRLSY One]

So what if a bunch of ice-cold chicks died?

I have met many-many ice-cold chicks in my day, and frankly, most of them DESERVED to die!

[Mickey Rat]

Could not warm one of them up? Need to improve your technique.

[SQRLSY One]

Rats!!!

Pretty funny reply though... This is why I cum to this site...

[Rufus The Monocled]

Hello.

"15 states sue Trump for ending some Obamacare subsidies to insurers."

I can't keep up anymore. Didn't states sue also under Obama?

Subsidies is an addiction.

[Rufus The Monocled]

Make that, subsidies are an addiction.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Trolling is a artform

[Juice]

It was caused by unusually high amounts of ice late in the season, meaning adults had to travel further for food.

If only it could have been a bit warmer.

[CE]

What about the Maine-sized hole in the ice? Those penguins should all show up at Susan Collins' office.

[Mickey Rat]

Because of global warmi-..., er, unusually high amounts of ice?!

That cannot be right!

[CE]

Climate change.

[Cy]

It's global weather extremism! Give us control of all energy or you're all going to die!!!

[Citizen X - #6]

Man, Britches just does not give a FUCK about the links.

[BestUsedCarSales]

I think he did us a kindness by actually posting them on time, but he also kept the links shitty so that we continue to know our place.

He is truly wise.

[Citizen X - #6]

I feel both catered to and left wanting! It's like eating at Arby's.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Christian's Twitter feed is also nothing but papercraft that he does for fun. He truly is our Arby's.

[CE]

The trick is getting the 2 for $5 special, then eating them both yourself.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Like you a-holes do, either. NOBODY BUT ME COMMENTS ON THEM.

[Juice]

Weakest links in a while.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Good-bye!

[Rufus The Monocled]

Christian, you ARE the weakest link!

[Mickey Rat]

Goodbye!

[Derp-o-Matic 6000]

Yeah, this is Rico-level bad

[BestUsedCarSales]

TAKE THAT BACK

[CE]

4 links, no comments. I thought 5 was the minimum and at least one had to have a snarky comment.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Sen. Susan Collings (R ? Maine) will remain in the senate, forgoing a possible run for governor of Maine.

It's her life's colling.

Anyway, i's so much easier to legislate than govern. You're actually expected to do something.

[Lily Bulero]

I'd think one of the fun things about being governor would be finding people who shouldn't be in prison and letting them out.

That and vetoing bad laws.

I'd find little time to do anything else.

[Fist of Etiquette]

No, the fun thing you'd find would be getting a state trooper to drive you around at excessive speed. And Weinsteining all the younger aides.

[Lily Bulero]

Weinstein isn't finding it very fun right about now....

[Crusty Juggler]

He's hanging out with his friends in Arizona, hiding safely behind his army of attorneys; my guess is he is just fine.

[mad.casual]

I'd find little time to do anything else.

Don your duly-earned top hat and libertarian-issued monocle and take one local orphanage a week on tour of the local salt mines.

[Lily Bulero]

Well, of *course* I'd participate in Career Day functions.

[CE]

Those orphans aren't going to learn job skills if they just play video games all day, you know.

[True Scottsman]

Lily for governor!

[creech]

I wouldn't be surprised to see her switch parties if her switching would throw the Senate to the Democrats after 2018 or if it had an impact on her re-election chances.

[Chinny Chin Chin]

Susie's in the 2nd district, which is mostly Red and rural. I think she'd have a tough time getting re-elected if she switched teams.

[Zeb]

Aren't senators elected by the whole state?

[Cy]

No...

[Greg F]

Governor of Maine only makes 70K/year while as a US Senator she makes 174K. Would be quite the pay cut and she would have to live in Maine year round.

[Fist of Etiquette]

15 states sue Trump for ending some Obamacare subsidies to insurers.

"Who ends subsidies? You can't end subsidies, can you?"

[Derp-o-Matic 6000]

According to the Supreme Court decision a couple years ago, no (forgetting the case name, it was the one where "by a state" was interpreted to mean "by a state or not by a state").

[Crusty Juggler]

Lena Dunham 'in talks to take over as editor in chief of Glamour' just a month after Cindi Leive stepped down

" My mother had a Glamour magazine...I started leafing through it.."

[Citizen X - #6]

So "glamour" is another word that doesn't mean anything anymore, huh.

[Crusty Juggler]

It means, "Treating your body as an amusement park while sharing a bed with your pre-teen sister."

[Chinny Chin Chin]

Her first act: rename the mag to "Frumpy"

[BestUsedCarSales]

Why Lena!? WHY!?

FDA backs move to make smaller 'bespoke' condoms because the average size of 6.69 inches is TOO BIG for American men so they keep slipping off

The research team also found that the size of the erect penis varied depending on how it was achieved. Oral sex proved more arousing than masturbation or being stimulated only by sexual fantasies.

To account for variability, ONE Condoms offers 60 different dimensions, from 4.9 to 9.4 inches in length and from 3.5 to 5.0 inches in width.

Davin Wedel, president of ONE Condoms, explained: 'You might be able to squeeze your large hands into a size-small glove, but that doesn't mean it will be comfortable to wear.

'We want the world to know you shouldn't have to sacrifice comfort for safety when it comes to condoms. Whether big, small or in between, myONE has a condom perfect for you.'

It's more like the FDA is going to allow companies to sell a variety of condoms, which will make them more comfortable.

[BestUsedCarSales]

This will only lead to confusion amongst teens thereby increasing STD and death amongst our future generations.

[Citizen X - #6]

"Bitch better be takin' her cunt pills! I ain't wearin' no gunny sack!"

[BestUsedCarSales]

Everyone here except you is a god damn illiterate when it comes to the greatest artistic endeavor of our time. God bless.

[Citizen X - #6]

+1 momentary diversion on the road to the grave

[Juice]

Why would the length matter for slippage?

[Crusty Juggler]

The ONE people account for girth as well.

[Juice]

TMI is the only way to go.

[Crusty Juggler]

TMJ > TMI.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Imagine that you have extra baggage at the end. As your hand moves up and down the shaft the extra part of the condom will bag up and down, adding friction to the condom as a whole and possibly begin jostling off.

[Fist of Etiquette]

The research team also found that the size of the erect penis varied depending on how it was achieved.

Just like Ang Lee's version of the Hulk.

[Mickey Rat]

Depends on if he green, gray,, red, or smart in the comics.

[Juice]

Indeed, a study by Indiana University on almost 2,000 men revealed the average length is 5.57 inches

And I was having a bad day. Thanks, Daily Mail. I feel much better now.

[Lily Bulero]

Not too big, not too small, just right.

I'd call it a Goldilocks penis but that would sound perverted.

[Juice]

I guess I'd have a pretty decent dating life in Indiana. Poor fellas.

[buddhastalin]

Goldilocks had a penis?

[BestUsedCarSales]

"This counters previous Pew polls which found that the average responder had a penis 'big enough that it requires a wheelbarrow to carry.'"

[creech]

Why the hell does the FDA have to give companies permission to make various size condoms?

[Crusty Juggler]

This guy...

[Mickey Rat]

Please don't use "bespoke" in reference to condoms if you do not really mean it.

Also how many guys are going to overestimate their size?

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

"to 5.0 inches in width"

{harrows gays}

[BestUsedCarSales]

I can only assume they mean 5 inches in circumference. Which saddens me, as I still can't find a condom for my 7''x7''x7'' cock.

[Telcontar the Wanderer]

The mental image of such a thing amuses me, so it is as well that you are forced to propagate your genes and create more like yourself.

[Tom Bombadil]

"7''x7''x7'' cock"

Now that's what I call a cock block.

[Cy]

*golf clap*

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

Davin Wedel, president of ONE Condoms, explained: 'You might be able to squeeze your large hands into a size-small glove, but that doesn't mean it will be comfortable to wear.

You misspelled Dave Weigel.

[Zeb]

Why is the length the relevant factor here? Aren't condoms sort of adjustable in length?

And 3.5-5" width? I think that they might have meant to say "circumference".

It's been some time since I had to deal with a condom, so excuse me if I'm being obtuse.

[Lily Bulero]

This student journalist has a fine career in the MSM ahead of her...assuming there's still an MSM when she graduates

"You Do Uterus: The Republican War on Women helped make Harvey Weinstein...

"It's important to remember allegations against Weinstein have nothing to do with party politics, where allegations against President Donald Trump dominated and continue to dominate the national political dialogue because the way our president and elected representatives view women affects us all. But where Weinstein is concerned, revelations against the influential Hollywood producer speak to an issue that transcends politics ? that is, whether or not we as a society trust and respect women....

"...And that is the core of the right wing assault on women's rights ? a ruthless approach that involves not only victim-blaming, but also the punishment and neglect of women with unwanted pregnancies and of women who are abused by men....

"Exploiting the Weinstein reports in an attempt to mock the Democratic Party is disgraceful in its opportunism..."

[creech]

Why didn't I recall that Bill Clinton was a Republican?

[Derp-o-Matic 6000]

She sounds like she'd fit in perfectly at Slate.

[Tom Bombadil]

Minutes after the Weinstein story broke, I predicted (at this very site) that conservative white men would be blamed. Ain't I smart?

[Cy]

It's like watching "legends of tomorrow."

In a practical way, Congress could take more direct action toward regulatory overhaul and focus its legislation on deregulation, Rao suggested.

"If a regulation isn't working, Congress can repeal it by statute," Rao said. "Congress can simply deregulate through legislation and override an agency's determination."

Ha!

[Juice]

I can't believe there are still people out there that think Congress writes the laws. They don't even read them.

[Lily Bulero]

It's like asking a celebrity to explain a particular passage in their autobiography.

Guy Fieri cooks BBQ for evacuees of California wildfires

Food Network star Guy Fieri teamed up with the Salvation Army on Thursday and went to wildfire-ravaged Santa Rosa, Calif., to cook for thousands of people who evacuated their homes.

Fieri and his workers assembled a mobile kitchen at the Santa Rosa Veterans Memorial Building's parking lot to set up camp, KTVU reported. Fieri said he and his team would be cooking lunch and dinner for evacuees until Saturday.

That's bananas!

Report: Hillary Clinton Weighing Professor Role at Columbia University

She's going to get protested so fucking hard.

*snap-snap-snap-snap*

[Lily Bulero]

I thought she was going to be a Methodist minister.

She may also want to stay on with the university's law school of School of International and Public Affairs.

She may also want to stay out of the public's eye for the rest of her life.

Hillary Clinton calls Trump 'sexual assaulter' in BBC interview, but says Bill's behavior 'in the past'

"This kind of behavior cannot be tolerated anywhere, whether it's in entertainment, politics," Clinton said. "After all, we have someone admitting to being a sexual assaulter in the Oval Office."

Marr responded by pointing out Clinton has dismissed allegations made by women against her husband, former President Bill Clinton, that Trump highlighted during the hard-fought presidential campaign.

"That has all been litigated," Clinton replied. "That was subject of a huge investigation in the late '90s and there were conclusions drawn. That was clearly in the past."

Just say all sexual assault and move on, stupid.

[BestUsedCarSales]

Following Clinton gives me similar emotions to when I watched my house burn down as a small child: fear, confusion, anger.

[Citizen X - #6]

"There were conclusions drawn" is my new favorite way of saying absolutely nothing in a way that communicates total hatred for everyone around me.

[Derp-o-Matic 6000]

Agreed.

[Unlabelable MJGreen]

Yes, "there were conclusions drawn" is fantastic. It would fit right in an Iannucci show.

[Mickey Rat]

This choice was between one in the East Wing ir the West Wing.

Of course, what Trump actually said did not go do far to be an admisdion of criminal activity, just bragging about non-specific sleazy activity.

[Crusty Juggler]

Sen. Susan Collings (R ? Maine)

Fun fact: she was not related to noted guitar manufacturer Bill Collings.

[Derp-o-Matic 6000]

LOLOL if true

Bill always talks to his wife after sex: "I'll be home in a half hour, honey."

[Red Rocks White Privilege]

At least for now they're not pretending like they actually give a shit about each other.

Penguins die in 'catastrophic' Antarctic breeding season.

It was caused by unusually high amounts of ice late in the season, meaning adults had to travel further for food.

Climate change is so confusing. How do we fix this madness?

Conservation groups are calling for urgent action on a new marine protection area in the east Antarctic to protect the colony of about 36,000.

WWF says a ban on krill fishing in the area would eliminate their competition and help to secure the survival of Antarctic species, including the Adelie penguins.

Ok?

[Lily Bulero]

Kill and eat the penguins before they die off.

[Derp-o-Matic 6000]

Only global warming can save them!

[Entropy Drehmaschine Void]

Ain't no damn shortage of chickens ...

[BestUsedCarSales]

It's amazing that we spend time talking about those penguins, when much sadder penguin news happened just last night.

The Daily Mail reports that 20-year-old Grape-kun, a winged celebrity at Japan's Tobu Zoo, died Thursday. The tiny, flightless beast got famous after a female penguin he'd been seeing for a decade dumped him for a younger bird, BuzzFeed reports. Grape stalked the grounds of Tobu Zoo forlorn for weeks, refusing to do whatever his other penguin comrades were doing. Until Hululu came along.

Hululu is what RocketNews describes as an "anthropomorphic penguin," an anime character from the show Kemono Friends. The zoo staged a promotional collaboration with the show, scattering cardboard cutouts of the characters all throughout the penguin pen. And, according to the zookeepers, Grape fell in love.

[Lily Bulero]

Oh, right, Japan, even the penguins are crazy.

[Mickey Rat]

Crazy, sex starved, same difference.

[Lily Bulero]

There's an overlapping Venn Diagram for you.

[Chinny Chin Chin]

WWF says a ban on krill fishing in the area would eliminate their competition

Except, y'know, all the whales and other krill predators. But how would a wrestling company know anything about whales?

[Derp-o-Matic 6000]

WWF says a ban on krill fishing in the area would eliminate their competition and help to secure the survival of Antarctic species, including the Adelie penguins.

But has WWE or WCW weighed in on this yet?

[BestUsedCarSales]

No, but Ultimate Warrior said this from beyond the grave: "HULK HOGAN"

Still trying to figure out what it means.

"There is nothing wrong with agencies using task forces to identify regulations that are outdated when underlying statutes have been amended or repealed, but the Trump administration is waging ideological warfare against middle-class Americans on behalf of massive corporate interests that stand to reap huge financial windfalls," Cummings said.

Someone needs to dial their bullshit generator down a bit. Trump can't be both principled and corrupt on the same issue at the same time.

From the simple "photo creds" to the slightly more daring "wow, great picture. The photographer must be so talented and good looking," this comment almost always demands acknowledgement. Often a banner ad for "Whatever, you probably didn't pick a picture with me because I made you look bad."
