We were deep in the woods of Humboldt County at Katie Azevedo’s family ranch, gathered around the table for breakfast. It was a comfortable scene, but six weeks ago Katie was dirty and dusty, in the midst of a transformative experience: She and her mother, Linda—along with their horse, Sedona—were riding the Pony Express Trail.

Vox and Sheryl Sandberg have both stepped forward to praise Paul Ryan for demanding his “family time” as a condition of running for Speaker of the House. His voting record alone should be enough to dispel the notion that he’s anything remotely like a friend to feminism. It seems frankly unfathomable that this even requires saying.

Gus Kenworthy, the 24-year-old Olympic skier who became every Jezebel employee’s imaginary boyfriend after adopting all those puppies in Sochi , came out as gay today. He made the announcement on Twitter Thursday morning, after which people shared their support, love, and, of course, unquenchable thirst.

The tenth season of the Real Housewives of Orange County has ended and the reunion episodes are still airing, but the true culmination may be this insane interview with Brooks Ayers—original OC cast member Vicki Gunvalson’s ex-boyfriend who was accused of faking cancer all season.

AIDS was a terrifying mystery, and then we solved it. When researchers identified the human immunodeficiency virus as the reason why young, previously healthy people were developing rare cancers and wasting away, it was a triumph of medical science.

Keep your sexy pizza rats , your sexy Snow Whites, your sexy hashtags. The best Halloween costume ever belonged to this woman in 1930, who is clearly going as “a candleholder who’s sick of your goddamn bullshit.”

Although creating a brand new surname after marrying is a rare choice, it’s viewed by some as the most equal, romantic, and kid-friendly solution in an antiquated patriarchal system. But it’s also a very easy way to anger your loved ones.

Greetings, devoted Thriftees! I’m back with another round of my Nobel Prize winning Thrift Diaries: Hip Hop edition! Just kidding, but I did go on the road with (my male companion) El-P (Jaime), and Killer Mike—aka Rap super-duo Run the Jewels—for one week and throughout five different cities. I hung out, ate a lot of good food, talked a lot of shit and Thrifted. Join me, won’t you?

When I was 16 years old, I couldn’t sleep for an entire week. The reason? MTV’s Fear, a reality show in which group after group of young idiots went into allegedly haunted places—Eastern State Penitentiary, Fairfield Hills Hospital—and disturbed the spirits who lived there for fun and (very little) profit. Hellevator, a new show on GSN, tries to capture that same spirit—but while it’s somewhat enjoyable, the haunted house game show falls flat in the scare department.

It’s a seasonal ritual, at this point—no sooner does summer wind down than the Internet is flooded with revealing Halloween costume takes on current events. Sexy Cecil the Lion? Yup. Sexy Pizza Rat? Check! Sexy Donald Trump? Absolutely.

Weekly-ish, a pre-approved, snap-judged music guide based on our very scientific, non-subjective Yes/No rating system. There’s really no debating this, come on stop.

Good evening, readers! How many of you are capping off the night by smoking a joint? If current statistics are accurate, a considerable swath of you may be toking as I type. America, it seems, is twice as stoned as it was ten years ago.

Following Lamar Odom’s near fatal overdose at a brothel in Las Vegas, the former LA Lakers player and his estranged wife Khloé Kardashian have decided to call off their divorce and give love (and who knows—maybe even their reality show) another go. According to one source, “Khloé thinks this was the right thing to do right now.”

Beasts of No Nation director Cary Joji Fukunaga boasts a diverse repertoire, from the inaugural season of crime drama True Detective, to the 2011 adaptation of Jane Eyre, and now Beasts, which chronicles the experiences of child soldiers in West Africa. And don’t you think for one minute that he’s stopping there!

Jeremy Renner—the frog-faced Avenger with a sixth grade boy’s haircut—has caught wind of American Hustle co-star Jennifer Lawrence’s essay on unequal pay in Hollywood. He’s aware that many of his fellow actors are clamoring for an end to this discriminatory gap. But he doesn’t especially give a flying fuck.

In today’s Tweet Beat, Chris Rock is hosting the Oscars again, Chrissy Tiegen is hungry and everyone recognizes Serena Williams.

Maybe you missed this cute anecdote about Taylor Swift petting The Weeknd’s hair for like 15 minutes.

New York City has rules for their subway ads, which can’t look too racy. And a set of new ads by Thinx, a company peddling knickers for women who’d like the option of forgoing pads and tampons during menstruation, have proven to be just too much for NYC’s (inconsistently) prim sensibilities.

Joseph Thomas Koetters, a former English teacher at the elite Marlborough School in Los Angles, pleaded guilty Wednesday to four counts relating to his sexual abuse of two female students. Koetters resigned from his most recent teaching job in July 2014 after Buzzfeed reporter Katie J.M. Baker began inquiring about the allegations against him.

Facebook COO and perpetual self-promotion machine Sheryl Sandberg has picked an odd choice for today’s “Lean In Award,” an imaginary honor she presents via Facebook: Paul Ryan. The same Paul Ryan who opposes, over and over again, workplace equality for women.

On a macro-level, maybe not so much.
