Girls read comics (and they're pissed). Someone's working on improving female depictions in comic books. Hoo-bloody-ray!

It’s all one big happy circle of misogyny! Feminist criticism and activism seeks to break the cycle, raise awareness, and promote the idea that human females are real people, not f**kholes and baby machines. This extends to their fictional representation in anything, including comics.

Karen Healey is the "shrill harpy" who is working to change the industry.

BARFWorld. Actually, it probably is what you think. And it includes the BARF Diet!

Okay, so first of all, the Duchess of York has a weblog. Yes. She really, really does. And if that isn't amusing (it isn't, it's mostly a little disturbing), then be amused by the brilliant use of tags on the Amazon page for Kevin Federline's new album. I hear the reviews are also amusing, in an igry sort of way.

Masturbate for peace. Because you can't love others without loving yourself first. (Also, assume this is NSFW.)

A tribute to Gail, the West Wing goldfish. Gail's bowl is the setting for private on-set jokes, apparently. Those jokes, funny or not, are listed here. For you. Enjoy.

Houses overgrown with kudzu. Kudzu is native to southern Japan, introduced to the US in 1876 and now a dreaded weed that grows up to a foot a day in the southern summer, the perfect climate.

Johnston Atoll is up for sale! Never heard of this Pacific-Island retreat? Let me tell you more. The atoll consists of four coral islands surrounded by reef. Like the beautiful island nation of Nauru, US-owned Johnston Atoll was mined of its guano deposits in the 19th century. After World War Two, it was used as a thermonuclear testing site and chemical disposal site for mustard and nerve gas until three years ago. Now this picturesque, isolated stretch of reclaimed land in the middle of the Pacific is available to you! (We recommend you bring your own water.) more inside
