Baltimore’s Housing Authority is just a total mess. They’ve been sued by public housing residents who allege that maintenance workers forced women to exchange sex acts for necessary repairs.

The ever-controversial steel tunnel of black viscous oil meant to dig through the United States has been paused, for now.

Between 1999 and 2013, the death rate for middle-aged white people with less than a college education in America rose markedly, in contrast with comparable demographic groups in other wealthy nations as well as with steadily dropping death rates for that group before 1999.

Here’s the story: a group of roommates decided it would be a good idea to leave boxes of full-size candy bars unattended on their porch on Halloween night. The idea was to see—via a security camera feed—which kids would be considerate and take just one candy bar, and which kids would be greedy and take a few extra.

ExxonMobil, a company that vehemently asserts that it does not hate your children, has been caught in a big fat enormous lie, and politicians want the corporation to pay.

After Metrojet officials said Monday that the “only possible explanation” for the high-altitude break-up Saturday of a Russian jetliner over the Sinai Peninsula “could be an external impact on the airplane,” American and Russian officials attempted to dampen speculation about a possible terrorist attack, but didn’t deny the possibility, either.

Back in 2013, Derek Medina claimed he’d killed his wife before posting a photo of her bloody body to Facebook. Today, his attorney said he’d acted in self-defense “because he lived in fear of her drug abuse, violent tendencies and even Satan worship,” according to an Associated Press report.

Jesus Christ. The sun went down at 4:51 today in New York. Oh my God. It might as well have never come up. That’s so bad—and get this: it’s not going to set after 5 p.m. until January 22nd. You’re in for a long, bad time. This is awful.

Essena O’Neill, an 18-year-old from Australia, is an Instagram celebrity—that is, an otherwise normal high-schooler who’s racked up almost 600,000 followers by posting photos of herself on the app. Last week, however, she announced to her fans that she’s quitting social media because it is “not real life.”

Alone in your room, in front of your mirror, holding a hairbrush as if it were a microphone, you can be anyone—either GOP candidate or Beyoncé. In this quiz, however, you can only be one: either GOP candidate or Beyoncé.

As Republicans continue to debate how they’re going to debate, one candidate has rejected the notion of collective bargaining, opting instead to negotiate directly with the networks he isn’t already feuding with. It’s Donald Trump, obviously.

Yusaf Mack’s story just got a little more insane. The professional boxer, who alleged last week that he was drugged during for his performance in a gay porn video for DawgPoundUSA, just appeared on TMZ Live, apparently at the request of his crisis manager Anthony Cherry (who’s also a hairstylist and singer). Beaming in via Skype, Mack refused to answer virtually every question he was asked, claiming that he couldn’t talk about his porn video because it’s a “legal matter.”

If you’ve ever used iMessage, the proprietary messaging platform for Apple devices such as the iPhone, you’ve probably developed an opinion (or a refined lack of opinion) about its “read receipts” feature. They’re based on a simple idea—what if you could automatically notify people that you had seen their messages?—yet have slowly become iMessage’s most controversial and divisive function.

But for pretty much anyone even mildly aware of British popular culture, the words “Jeb Can Fix It,” soon to be plastered on every surface his dying campaign can touch, will bring to mind just one thing: Jimmy Savile, one of the most prolific child abusers in the history of entertainment.

The gas station you’re looking at, built as part of the Pentagon’s reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan, should have cost half a million dollars. Instead, it cost $43 million, and the U.S. government can’t even explain why.
