Though some churchgoers want to adopt him, the mother might want her child back, a decision the The View gang weighed in on, unfortunately.

In June, Slate columnist Emily Yoffe published a bombshell: an article titled “How The Hunting Ground Blurs the Truth,” in which she claimed that the campus rape documentary, which premiered earlier this year, had presented a misleading picture of one of its central stories. Yoffe wrote that the case perfectly illustrated the biases at work in the film; as she put it, “how deeply the filmmakers’ politics colored their presentation of the facts—and how deeply flawed their influential film is as...

Rep. Lamar Smith (R-TX), a climate change denier (in his words: “semi-skeptic”) who in 2012 became the hilariously inappropriate chair of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology, is doing his gosh dang best—along with the rest of the Republicans in Congress—to fuck up the ongoing Paris climate talks from afar.

If you were, hypothetically, a celebrity dentist and if you were, hypothetically, about to work on the hallowed mouth of Icelandic art star Björk would you, hypothetically, get high on your own supply? Like just a touch of nitrous, beforehand? Of course that would be unethical, but check it: “Mouth Mantra” is Björk’s new video and it’s a gingivitis-eye view into her mouthal cavity with a trippy twist, a look at her teeth as translated via fractal cam FX.
