HuffPo has a loose definition of “Women.”
Bow Down. I knew the day would come when I would be named one of the funniest women on Twitter.
Cherish this moment.
Michelle’s grandmother, Deborah Knight, confirmed the information, telling 19 Action News: “When she was severely beaten, he had beat her so bad in the face, she has to have facial reconstruction, and she’s lost hearing in one ear.”
Records obtained by Carl Monday investigations show Michelle may have faced physical abuse before she was kidnapped. Records show David Feckley was charged and convicted in the early 2000’s of child endangerment, for breaking Michelle’s infant son’s arm. He served eight years in prison. But a rape charge was dropped when the alleged victim, Michelle, couldn’t be found. Of course, now we know where she was: on Seymour Avenue.
Michelle wasn’t seeing visitors Thursday, not even her family. Yesterday, her mom, in from Naples, Florida, met with Michelle briefly at the hospital. But a relative told us the meeting was strained, and Michelle asked her mom to leave.
Meanwhile, main suspect Ariel Castro is confirmed to be the father of Amanda Berry’s child through DNA testing, according to the state of Ohio. He may face the death penalty for the crimes; despite initial reports suggesting otherwise, police say his brothers were not involved.
Mark Pocan is a really nice person.
He’s a legislator, not a graphic designer!
The State Department has asked Defense Distributed to take down its controversial 3D-printed gun blueprint. “I immediately complied and I’ve taken down the files,” said the group’s Cody Wilson. “But this is a much bigger deal than guns. It has implications for the freedom of the web.”

Of course. This is America. We don’t get to have nice things.
Check out the comments. Nearly everyone has criticized The Smoking Gun for digging up dirt on the guy. One person put it best: “Once in awhile, people on the internet make me proud. I’m so thrilled that virtually all of the comments on this post point out that this was totally unnecessary.”
Just a month after its debut, the price of the HTC First, also known as the Facebook Phone, has dropped from $99 to 99 cents on a 2-year contract with AT&T. Tech media outlets say that while users are drawn to Facebook Home which can be downloaded on Android devices, the Facebook Phone wasn’t necessary or particularly innovative at that $99 price tag.
Would you buy that for a dollar (and two years of contracts)?
The Comcast-owned MSNBC will be the subject of a protest next week at the cable giant’s annual shareholders meeting in Philadelphia.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, a Tea Party group invited 60,000 activists to show up at the meeting to accuse the network of masquerading left-leaning propaganda as news.
Wait, so does this mean they aren’t aware of the same criticism lobbed against Fox News… except from the other side?
Here’s how The Onion’s Twitter account got hacked. How? Hint: That link doesn’t actually go where it says it does.

This has definitely been our most well-received download. I don’t think any of us predicted it would be this much.Defense Distributed-affiliated developer Haroon Khalid • Discussing the success of the controversial group’s 3D-printed gun blueprints, which have been downloaded 100,000 times since they were released over the weekend. The distribution method isn’t without controversy, either: The group’s files are being hosted on Kim Dotcom’s Mega service. One member of Congress, Rep. Steve Israel, wants to ban such devices.
Imagine an industry where every single opponent worked in the same street, competing with each other by day—drinking, brawling, fornicating, night clubbing and cocaine-snorting with each other by night. A street full of the most ruthless and amoral people in the world existed, and it was called Fleet Street.Piers Morgan • Discussing his new Starz TV show, Fleet Street, a new dramatic series about his time working the tabloid journalism circuit in the ’70s. It’s a lot like working on ShortFormBlog now.

How a straight white rapper from Seattle wrote hip-hop’s first gay anthem.
“Each night is different — you never know,” Macklemore says [of “Same Love”]. “To see 6,500 people put their hands up in support of equality is a beautiful thing. It’s honestly been the highlight of touring.”
Stacy wrote a feature for OUT Magazine on Macklemore and Ryan Lewis. “I knew I wanted to write a song about gay rights, about marriage equality, and about homophobia in hip-hop, but I didn’t know how to do it,” Macklemore says about the song, which eventually became a personal tale.](http://25.media.tumblr.com/33fe8275033253cce6cd30fa3a9d3a85/tumblr_mmhnhqgEEm1qanm80o1_500.jpg)
