In general these are black bloc-style protesters who have a protest tradition with roots in anti-fascist organizing in Europe that include street confrontations with fascists. The term is not a catch-all for all anti-fascist or…

I find it odd how people are so quick to talk about how this action is about privileged women and then, when a number of people raise their hands to say, “I’m not privileged and I support it,” it’s like suddenly they—and their identities as racial and other minorities—don’t count.

Not country, and it’s about a woman killing her abusive dad...but honorable mention for “Janie Got a Gun.”

Not sure why you seem to be blaming the reporter here. Most reporters at print papers have little to do with the headlines. Major print dailies still usually employ people specifically to write headlines.

You know what actually has harmed children? The Iraq war...which Hillary Clinton backed wholeheartedly. But funny how I haven’t seen Gawker bringing that up recently.

By the way, that opening quote—“Men dream of women, men look at women, women watch themselves being looked at...”—is from art critic John Berger’s amazing and groundbreaking 1972 “Ways of Seeing.”

Several years ago, before Clarence Clemons died, I caught Springsteen at Chicago’s United Center doing the entire “Born to Run” album. My friends and I were in general admission, and managed to be in the first 50 people in, thanks to the fan-implemented lottery system Springsteen uses for GA admissions. At one point…

Packer is also the inspiration for the excellent, bizarre little movie “Ravenous,” with Robert Carlyle and Guy Pearce.

In some cases they literally eat themselves to death when they are not constantly monitored or have food locked away from…

She likely had a genetic condition called Prader-Willi syndrome. Kids with it never feel full—often parents have to put locks on the fridge and cupboards, to prevent them eating everything, including raw flour and pasta. In some cases, kids who are not watched closely have died after eating so much they ruptured their…

None of the medical workers who worked on Duncan were told to quarantine themselves or limit contact, and she was not symptomatic—therefore not contagious—when she first travelled. If she hadn't been in Cleveland, she likely would have been working in that hospital in Dallas, taking care of other sick people, when she…

And don't forget how China Miéville used it in Kraken—transported people are essentially killed and reassembled each time they transport, meaning they are then copies of a person haunted by their "ghost" selves.
