• Savage Love: High Times

  06-08-2015 22:46
  
  joe newtonDoes a person who acts loving only when high on weed really love you? My live-in boyfriend of three years acts sweet, loving, and caring when he's high, but when the weed runs out, he's mean, angry, hurtful, and horrible to be around. I've asked him when he's stoned to still act like a loving person when the weed runs out, but of course that never happens. He just dismisses that he's mean and hurtful, and he blames me for why he's angry. I'm so confused! Without weed, he's intolerable

  Killer whales are smarter than we know. Not only do they have their well-documented senses of humor and empathy and mischievousness, they also have a part of their brain that is beyond the understanding of human scientists. It's called a paralimbic cleft, and it's a highly developed set of lobes that "may enable some brain function we can't even envision because we lack it," David N

Luckily, the Senate vote to defund the women's health-care organization failed, but the GOP's impetus for trying—the latest ~*sting*~ from anti-choice hatchet-job-happy group "the Center for Medical Progress," which has ties to the equally cray anti-ab

  You do hate him, though. And that's okay.
  Look, I'm as excited about Star Wars: The Force Awakens as anybody, but there's something about it that's already super obnoxious: The repeated claim that director J.J. Abrams & Co. are eschewing CG. EXHIBIT A: Hell, the first half of this Comic-Con ad is pretty much nothing but a reminder that J.J. Abrams did, in fact, build some sets, and did, in fact, stick some props in some sand.You'd better believe that Vanity Fair piece made sure to spend a bu
