La Jolla, CA resident Arlene Mossa Corona is sacrificing Thanksgiving with her family in order to do everything she can to find her missing Chihuahua, Chispita. Continue reading
Last fall, I was unemployed. I spent entire days in my (parents’) house, watching Criminal Minds marathons on A&E while eating popcorn and feeling fairly hopeless about my life. When I started having dreams in which Matthew Gray Gubler was saving my life by being a really adorable genius, I figured I needed another hobby, or at least something to occupy my brain before I required a serious Criminal Minds intervention. This is when I started baking.
My good internet friend sent me a link to this story and, like all news stories on the internet, I briefly scanned it, barely digested what it was about, and started making jokes about it in my head.
The story seems to be about a study that has found there’s a correlation between taking multivitamins, feeling a sense of invulnerability, and doing risky and/or stupid things. Continue reading
This morning Occupy Toronto is being evicted from its camp at St. James Park.
A legal fight was put up last week, with Occupy’s lawyers seeking a court order to quash the eviction notice issued by the City of Toronto, but were unsuccessful.

Now that we are in the home-run stretch of the holiday season with the Thanksgiving feasts, company-sponsored Christmas parties to attend and all that comes with New Year’s Eve debauchery; we’ve got to be mindful about how we finish off the year and start off the next one. Continue reading
Hello Crasstalk. Hope you are having an easy day of it. This photo was submitted by BaldwinP, who is clearly having a better week than any of us. Cheers! Continue reading
This week of Thanksgiving, let us remember that we can at least be thankful that all but one of these people have NO chance of becoming president. Tonight is ostensibly about foreign policy and national security-areas where the GOP is typically pretty consistent. Sadly, this may mean that the candidates won’t have their favorite scapegoats tonight-Obamacare, gays, and poors. At least, not our gays and poors.
Come for the ignorance, stay for the insults. Continue reading
