Nine jurors in the Cecily McMillan case have reportedly written to the judge to ask for leniency in her sentencing. In the very short letter, obtained by the Guardian, the jurors write:

One night in 2009 an Alaskan state trooper picked up the incident file from a domestic violence arrest he'd made earlier in the day and texted the victim. They met up and had sex in his car. And on Wednesday, the Alaska Supreme Court said: kind of icky, but not against "public policy"!

Hi. We're the staff of Gawker. We're taking a page from the book of our coworkers at Deadspin, a recipe-sharing site inspired by Bleacher Report, and opening up the comment section here for questions and chats.

Much like Abed Nadir's favorite superhero show, The Cape, NBC's Community lasted a lot longer than anyone expected. Community survived having Chevy Chase as a main cast member and Dan Harmon as its showrunner, and then it survived with no Dan Harmon and no Chevy Chase. And then Harmon again.

When a man becomes old, he often becomes pensive as well. He spends long days thinking back on his past. Back, back, back, back, back, back. Back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back, back.

Police believe a man kept his 96-year-old mother's body frozen for 3 years so he could continue to collect her retirement benefits and Social Security checks after her death.

Like many rich people, Ricky Van Veen—co-founder of College Humor and fiancé of Girls' Allison Williams—knows exactly how directionless, jobless college graduates should live their lives. In a new Tumblr post, he outlines a plan of action for the unemployed recent graduate. It is extremely realistic and helpful* (*if you are already rich and successful).

The weather is supposed to be positively summer-like in New York this weekend, and we've already seen the release of several major superhero movies, so it's not too early to start thinking about the music that will define our respective summers.

For unclear reasons, this discussion on the topic of "Should I Go to Grad School?" contains more than one word.

Earth will reportedly have trillionaires soon, as many as 11 of them in the next couple of generations. That would be roughly $140 for each human being on earth. Or enough to pay Atlas to stop shrugging and just flip off the rest of the world's population.

For anyone who saw and didn't find charm in John Turturro's insane vanity project, Fading Gigolo, Conan O'Brien's interview with Sharon Stone on last night's Conan was a welcome helping of catharsis. For those who haven't seen the movie, Turturro wrote, directed, and cast himself in the role of a man that piles of gorgeous women pay for sex for no apparent reason other than his sensitivity (his character, Fioravante, apparently doesn't even have a big dick, which would also be a vanity move, but at least shade in the character's appeal more than "...because he's him").

Because Jon Hamm's penis (his Dick Whitman, if you will) gets so much attention, it's easy to miss that the Mad Man also has a gargantuan head. It's so big, in fact, that Saturday Night Live's outfitters have only ever measured one star with a larger domepiece.

An undergraduate student group has announced plans to hold a Satanic "black mass" on Harvard's campus Monday evening, freaking out Catholics and conservatives who probably figured the Ivy was a dark servant of Beelzubub all along.

Friday morning, the Toronto Sun published a new video of a clearly inebriated Rob Ford ranting in a Toronto bar. The video was reportedly filmed April 27, one day after Ford was recorded allegedly smoking crack cocaine in his sister's basement.

Articulating public policy on the campaign trail is hard, guys. Is Obamacare more like the Holocaust, or like the Nazis and the KKK put together? And if unions are like slavery, that has "no racial connotations," right? Don't worry, conservatives are gonna figure this all out soon.

New York City's latest subway hero is Joshua Garcia, who jumped onto the Union Square subway tracks Wednesday and saved an unconscious teenage girl. He is a true hero. Many of the bystanders, however, are terrible people.

Corporations are people. Like people, they have political opinions. If you're looking for the most Republican corporate persons in the world, you're probably thinking Koch Industries. But you should be thinking white bread and interstate-redneck food.

In an article published on May 2 that was just recently translated to English, Korean Central News Agency—the official propagandist news arm of the North Korean government—called Barack Obama a "monkey," among many other awful things.

It's become trendy to maintain a gluten-free diet, even for people without allergies, but it's apparently not as trendy to have any idea what gluten is.
