Maine Senator Susan Collins, the dictionary definition of “Olde-Timey Moderate Republican,” is making headlines today for her announcement that she won’t vote for Donald Trump. Wow—give her a fucking medal, why don’t we?

Some companies work well with their employees’ unions. Some companies tolerate them. And some companies—like TEGNA, the media company that used to be Gannett—seeks to find the most small-minded ways to make union members’ lives miserable.

Marc Thiessen would like everyone in politics to please stop comparing their opponents to Nazis. Or rather, he would like everyone to stop evoking comparisons to Nazis, as the two politicians he calls out in his latest Washington Post column never actually said “Nazi” or “Hitler.” It’s not a very surprising or notable argument, really, especially from Marc Thiessen, whose continued participation in public life is dependent on enforcing a particular standard of “civility” in our political discourse.

Scott Johansen, the idiot Utah family court judge who removed a baby from her foster parents because they’re lesbians, has recused himself from the case, reports the Washington Post.

Ahmed Chalabi, a con artist who spent a decade convincing America’s foreign policy establishment to topple a dictator so the Chalabi family could resume extracting their home nation’s wealth, died of a heart attack today, about 15 years too late. If you haven’t read it in a while (or at all), now is a good time to revisit Jane Mayer’s 2004 account of how long and how hard Chalabi worked to make regime change in Iraq the main foreign policy priority of a bunch of deeply stupid but powerful people, who grew to believe, despite of the overwhelming amount of evidence to the contrary, that the deeply unscrupulous exile could be a credible leader of a secular and democratic Iraq.

Martin Shkreli, the 32-year-old Turing Pharmaceutical CEO who this week jacked up the price on a life-saving drug by an astounding 5,000 percent, apparently doesn’t have the stomach for his own racket: he announced Tuesday night he’ll decrease the price of the drug in the face of intense public scrutiny.

You always see motorcycle owners outside, tinkering with their motorcycles. Why? They’d have you believe they were out there fixing something all the time. La, la, la, fixing my bike, la, la, la. But are motorcycles in constant need of repair? Or are motorcycle owners just a bunch of assholes?

Just days after some rude dummy tried to charge his phone by plugging it into a Broadway set’s prop outlet, a different rude dummy with a phone struck the theatre once again. But this time, Tony-winner and hero Patti LuPone was there to put some necessary fear into the audience.

On Friday, Chris Brown added “shitty friend” to his considerable list of achievements in the field of assholery, sharing a hateful meme on Instagram that referred to the recently transitioned Caitlyn Jenner as a “science project.”

Has Jon Krakauer been reading Gawker? Okay maybe not. But he did a pretty great job of moderating an impromptu post-interview Q&A session for his new book, Missoula, on Wednesday.

U.K. Independence Party leader Nigel Farage seems to spend half of his time asserting that Ukip is "not a racist party" and the other half apologizing for his party's racism. Ukip's anti-immigrant rhetoric has many critics, but one of the most vocal and most sword-owning of them is Yanek Zylinski, a self-described Polish prince who literally challenged Farage to a duel over the weekend.

On a weekend filled with stories about killer cops, awful parents and Justin Bieber, ISIS released a video showing the purported destruction of yet another ancient Assyrian city, proving once again that, yes, they're still the worst.

Weird Utah pseudocelebrity Dell Schanze, a.k.a. "Superdell," the star of a number of wacky commercials for defunct computer chain Totally Awesome Computers, could have taken a plea deal when he appeared in court Thursday, but he didn't—because that would mean admitting he kicked that owl.

The Hugos are among science fiction's most prestigious awards. Since the 1950s, they've been awarded to the genre's best and brightest—icons like Heinlein, Asimov, LeGuin, and Dick. This year, they're just the latest front in Gamergate's war against women and minority fandom.

Yesterday, a federal judge overturned the state of California's ban on foie gras. Great news, for assholes.

Dan Bilzerian, a millionaire and avowed asshole with more than 5 million Instagram followers, was arrested at LAX Tuesday, and was being held without bail as of late Tuesday night. It's not yet clear whether his arrest has anything to do with the model he allegedly kicked in the face at a Miami club over the weekend.

If a restaurant overcharges you by $4, there are two reasonable options: You could 1) not worry about it—it's only four dollars, after all, or 2) politely ask for your money back. If you're a huge asshole, there's a third option: You could write five emails—totaling hundreds of words—over three days demanding a refund of $12, a price increase you calculated using your dick-ish understanding of obscure Massachusetts law.

As thousands marched on Midtown Manhattan last night in protest of a Staten Island grand jury's decision to not indict the NYPD officer who killed Eric Garner, two compassionate Americans walked into WPIX's live broadcast, noticed the camera, and mimed Daniel Pantaleo's chokehold that killed Garner.

Slimy pickup artist Julien Blanc has been barred from entering Singapore "especially if he is here to hold seminars or events that propagate violence against women." He'd previously been thrown out of Australia and rejected by the U.K.
