A Brief History of Bat-Marriage
The Batman and Wonder Woman of the Brave and the Bold animated universe nearly got married in All-New Batman Brave and the Bold #4, having been hit with a spell from Eros, the Greek god of attraction, that makes them fall for each other. The two break out of the spell thanks to Diana’s lasso of truth, but decide to plan a lavish wedding anyway... and use it as a trap to draw out a bunch of supervillains—who couldn’t resist attacking the wedding of Wonder Woman and Batman!—that they then proceed to beat the snot out of.Batman went to the altar with many of those famous brides more than once, plus a few other less memorable characters. So far, they've all been stopped at the last minute, annulled, or occurred in a dream or an in alternate universe. Read the short versions of each of Batman's marriages at io9.
The Creepiest Urban Legend in Every State
Why it's creepy: What’s not to be creeped out about? An 8-foot, musty-smelling, barefoot man with a reputation for being unnaturally aggressive is a hell of a thing to consider encountering in the woods. Some reported sightings were just that: sightings. However, reports like Ken Zitzow’s made the Hairy Man more than an apparition, but something to fear. Zitzow returned from driving in the woods with dents all over his car hood and said the Hairy Man jumped onto the road and began pounding the hood.Read the creepiest urban legend from your state and all the others at Thrillist.
Where it came from: Nobody really knows. Sightings trace back to the '60s, had a significant increase in the '70s, and still happen from time to time. Some say it’s a legend. Some say there was an old hermit living in the woods who wasn’t too keen on your rascally kids wandering his land. Others say the Hairy Man is real and point to a mysterious skull discovered in the Vergas Trail area that is human-like, but not hominid. It was discovered by a private citizen who didn’t turn it over, so no one knows if it’s human, Bigfoot, animal, or hoax. -- Dustin Nelson

Why people stay friends with their rapists
Since The New York Times reported about
how Harvey Weinstein has been paying off accusations of sexual
harassment for decades, more and more women have been coming forward to report abuse, in some cases from years ago.
Writer, journalist and playwright, Natalya Antonova, thinks she understands why some have kept silent for so long.
She has personal experience with the issue.
“We have a stereotype about the way that 'real' rape
victims are supposed to act, and basically what the stereotype says is
that when this happens to you, you recognize the man as the monster, you
cut off all ties, and you torch him in the public square,” says
Antonova. "That’s not how a lot of people respond to this crime, and
it’s definitely not how I responded when it happened to me."
When she was raped, Antonova says she was in denial and
couldn’t even think of what happened to her as rape for a very long
time.
“The brain obviously wants to survive, and in order to
survive my brain decided to create this fiction, where we were just
doomed lovers,” she says, “where he was in love with me; I was in love
with him; it was just a beautiful love story.’’
In the US, only about a third of rapes are reported.
Antonova didn't report her rapist, but, after years, has begun "trying
to rebuild my self-worth against all odds." She wrote more about her
experience for Vox First Person.

South Dakota high school cancels homecoming
“It’s the worst day I’ve ever had,” Sturgis Brown High School Principal Pete Wilson told the Associated Press.
Tensions are high as administrators attempt to contain the fallout.
“The incident has caused severe backlash, including several Facebook threats from people affiliated with both sides,” NBC Newscenter 1’s Sam Kraemer reported.
One particularly worrisome image spray-painted above the “go back to the Rez” message are the letters SS, which can refer to Schutzstaffel, Adolph Hitler’s paramilitary force. Skinheads and neo-Nazi’s often use such symbolism to express their views of white supremacy.

Nazi white supremacist Spencer questions whether women should be allowed to vote
Nazi White Nationalist Spencer’s tiki torch circle jerks in Charlottesville, Virginia, and his distant dream of forming a white ethnostate steal headlines, but his views about women—that their role in politics be shrunk down to a barely visible place that would be unrecognizable to almost anyone in modern America—is seldom highlighted.Taxpayers are picking up the tab for white nationalists’ ‘free speech’ circle jerks
Campus officials at the University of Florida are preparing for Nazi white
nationalist Richard Spencer to visit their campus next month — and are
being forced to spend upwards of $500,000 to provide him with security.
It’s the latest in a series of wingnut circle jerks which taxpayers and
beleaguered universities are picking up the bill for.
