A Canadian man imprisoned for choking a woman two years ago was released in December. Months later, he’s accused of murdering that woman and two others, all believed to be his ex-girlfriends. New reports have also revealed that the suspect, Basil Borutski, had a long history of violent and disturbing behavior against women, including frequent threats to kill them.

On September 19, in reaction to Congress’ vote to defund Planned Parenthood, Seattle-based activist Amelia Bonow decided to start publicly talking about her recent abortion. “Like a year ago I had an abortion at the Planned Parenthood on Madison Ave, and I remember this experience with a nearly inexpressible level of gratitude,” she wrote on Facebook. “...having an abortion made me happy in a totally unqualified way. Why wouldn’t I be happy that I was not forced to become a mother?”

Hey everyone, Joanna here. I wanted to give you guys a chance to see “my world,” or at least what it’s been for the past seven hours. Here are some of my favorite shots from today. Above, you can see where I’ve been spending all my time — that big brown building is the hotel! It’s so fun to be traveling for business (and a little bit of pleasure here and there, ha ha!).

The San Francisco Board of Supervisors passed legislation on Tuesday urging the city to build a memorial in remembrance of the approximately 200,000 women who were forced into sex slavery by the Japanese army during World War II. The decision puts pressure on the city to take on the project, but does not actually provide funding.

In the arena of music criticism, one of the most common (and objectively embarrassing) phenomena is that of the listening session—that magical time when journalists gather together as one in an office or nightclub of the label’s choosing to listen to an album in advance of its release date, often plied with alcoholic beverages.

Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush told crowds at the East Cooper Republican Women’s Club annual Shrimp Dinner in Mount Pleasant, S.C. (an event and town that both sound fictional) that he will earn the support of black voters with “hope and aspiration” and not with “free stuff,” i.e. universal healthcare or government welfare programs.

Here’s something to think about next time you get one of those “miracle green tea” emails in your inbox: doctors treating an unidentified British teenager say she contracted hepatitis and jaundice as a result of her attempts trying to lose weight by drinking diet green tea. And the scary thing is she’s not the only person to suffer this fate.

For once, Kim Davis was telling the truth! Kinda! The embattled Rowan County Clerk, who’s desperately trying to maintain her fifteen minutes of fame, recently told interviewers that she had “gay friends” who respect her decisions. Turns out she does have gay friends. One gay friend. And he doesn’t even like her that much.

When I was walking around the different booths and spying on people who had friends yesterday, the whole Values Voter platform felt very niche. I was able to have a nice time joking around with vendors and making one friend because it was obvious that we were all individual people with different backgrounds and nobody really had the power to impose one’s views onto the other.

Fox News’ Shepard Smith got his Leos wrong during a segment in which he discussed the ongoing search for the woman who posed for the Mona Lisa. Instead of Leonardo da Vinci, Smith named DiCaprio as the painter behind the famous work, via THR. Leonardo DiCaprio, may be quite the artiste, but he ain’t that kind of artist, okay? Maybe Smith recently enjoyed a Romeo+Juliet/What’s Eating Gilbert Grape double-feature and has DiCaprio on the brain.

A simple Google search for the word “nun” brings up a flurry of related news articles. Nuns tailgating to see Pope Francis, nuns battling Katy Perry over a fancy L.A. convent, nuns taking on McDonald’s.

Selena Gomez, an elderly woman who lives in a cave that’s buried deep inside a mountain, knows that she is old and that her youth is lost to time. “You know kids don’t even know who I am anymore,” the old woman recently told E! News, her old woman voice a creaky old woman whisper.
