Craigslist can be a shady place. While it may be good for purchasing a used ottoman or a bicycle pump and also good for the occasional missed connection hook-up, it can also be a great place to go if you want to get properly mugged. That’s what happened to at…

With Valentine’s Day coming Friday, let us warn you:The OkCupid dream is even more fictional than the American dream. Opening an account sounds great — it’s free, all your friends have one, and you have nothing to lose. At first, you trust those personality questions will compute into some top-secret…
Smell that? No. It’s not David Beckham’s metallic musk. It’s love. Valentine’s Day is here. Buckle up. We’re all going to get laid. Well… some of us. Truth is, Valentine’s Day doesn’t mean as much in a world of Snapchat dong shots and Grindr nookie. That lovey-dovey Hallmark crap? It’s…
For 51 years, Chris Reyka seemed proof of some higher power. A clean-cut, churchgoing former Marine with snow-white hair and a strong jaw, Reyka was an incarnation of the American dream. He had overcome tragedy to build a family and career as a police officer. Every day he pinned a…

Our justice system is the string that holds the fabric of civilized society together. There would be no repercussions for murder, rape, and all sorts of horrible things humans are capable of doing without it. And without punishment and discipline against those who commit these crimes, people would be forced…
It seems everything these days is in danger of being rendered useless by the internet. The mighty blue Blockbuster fell to Netflix. Bookstores were chewed up and spit out by Amazon. And now the U.S. Postal Service’s only job is to make sure Chris Christie never runs out of Oreos…
Pensacola has gone all-in in the run for Most Horrible City on the Planet with its “camping ordinance.” What is that, you ask? Why, it’s a law that prevents homeless people from covering themselves up with a blanket, and yes, this is a real thing, and yes, OF COURSE this…
