Former Stanford University swimmer Brock Turner is scheduled for early release from jail Friday after serving three months of a six-month sentence for sexually assaulting an unconscious woman.

After three terrible steak-less months, convicted sex offender Brock Turner was released from jail and allowed to repair to his parents’ Ohio home. But just because the law smiled upon a man who assaulted an unconscious woman behind a dumpster doesn’t mean this group of angry, armed protesters will do the same.

If you ever listen to AM/FM radio and wonder why all the stations play the same songs over and over, there’s actually a very simple answer. Like many things, it has to do with advertising, money, and getting as many ears on your station as possible so you can deliver the former and make the latter.

Studying to become a nun is probably pretty hard. At least, it appears to be for Addison Timlin’s character in the trailer for Little Sister, the newest indie film from Zach Clark.

Here at Apartment Therapy, we've had lots of lively discussions about what constitutes a 'small' apartment, a 'little' one, a 'tiny' one, and so forth and so on. But there seems to be a general consensus that around 200 square feet is where you go from a small apartment to a really small apartment, little to really really little, tiny to teeny-tiny. It's the boundary between "whoa, this place is tiny," and "how is it even possible for a human to live here?" Nevertheless, people have made it work, and in one case, even made less than 200 square feet work for more than one person. Take a look around these teeny-tiny homes and tell us — could you live in under 200 square feet?

Prolificness and perfectionism have always been the likely culprits in the delay for Frank Ocean’s second album—which, after many months of bumped-back release dates, arrived in a flood this weekend, unannounced. On Saturday he dropped Blond, the full-length follow-up to Channel Orange; that same day, he released an accompanying fanzine called Boys Don’t Cry in pop-up shops across the country. But before that, Ocean teased those two with Endless, a 40-minute “visual album” that served as a sort of audio sketchpad, accompanied by a film of Ocean building a spiral staircase by hand.

At just 14 years old, Cindy Crawford’s daughter Kaia Gerber has a burgeoning modeling career unto itself. Though this Pop cover (via Fashionista) is Gerber’s first solo joint, you can already divine the talent in her fresh face, which is reminiscent of iconic super-early covers like Cecilia Dean on lei; Karlie, Chanel and Ali on Teen Vogue; or–yeah, I’ll say it—Kate Moss on The Face. It’s a je ne sais quoi that promises we’re going to see this young face for awhile, even aside from being Crawford’s daughter. What can I say! Supermodels pass on their genes, man. It’s not fair but neither is life.

For the last year or so many of the gaming nerds I know have been salivating over No Man’s Sky, the video game that creates a procedurally generated universe of some 18 quintillion star systems for players to explore, a number so large that it virtually guarantees that the answer to the question "Am I alone in the universe?" is, "Yup, pretty much." On the other...

Saori Yoshida is about as dominant as anyone in the international wrestling scene, having won three Olympic gold medals and 13 world championships. Women’s wrestling joined the modern Olympics in 2004, making Yoshida the only gold medalist ever in the 53 kilogram class. The Japanese wrestler had never earned anything less than gold at an Olympics, World Championships, or Asian Games until this afternoon, when she lost the gold medal match to American Helen Maroulis.

The lie that tomato seeds are bitter has met its timely end. We now know that the seed pulp is actually quite flavorful and we should not discard it to the waste pile. When a recipe calls for removing tomato pulp, it's usually for a textural reason — say, a super-smooth sauce or for juicing the tomato pulp.

Last night, Simone Manuel tied for gold with Canadian Penny Oleksiak in the 100m freestyle . Modern timing systems are capable of measuring down to the millionth of a second—so why doesn’t FINA, the world swimming governing body, increase its timing precision by adding thousandths-of-seconds?
