I was listening to the coverage of Ferguson on my way in to work this morning. I had to pull over in front of a neighbor's house because I started happy-crying. It's amazing to see what happens when the Police behave like Police - serving the communities they are sworn to protect. The independent investigations by…

This really takes it all the way into stalking. This is the sort of thing that whips anti-choicers into a frenzy that pushed one of them to murder. Absolutely reprehensible that we let them get away with this sort of shit. Here's a nice question for the SCOTUS: how many anti-choice protesters have been killed for…

Her whole Sexy-Kindergartener thing really squicks me out...

I'm repeatedly amazed by the cognitive dissonance that people like Meghan McCain must endure.... Women are subservient to men and are primarily baby inclubators, but I'll still make a fortune sharing my (not important because I'm not a man) opinion with hordes of viewers. Women don't have the mental capacity to make…

Being Grey is better than being assaulted! Thank you to GM HQ!

This is entirely off-topic, but Angl, you should check to see if there is a local atheists group in your area. I found a few in Nashville via MeetUp. Its nice to be able to be an atheist around other atheists.

Looks like the trolls have decided to use their words. I miss the Greys (and I was a Grey).

Sigh. Yup, you got me. I'm white. Although I've never tweeted, taken to social media, or traveled to an impoverished nation to feign giving a shit about other humans. However, I have spoken on national tv a few times about what it's like to be raped and about how victim-blaming is a huge barrier to rape prevention. So…

Seriously? You think I have some sort of 'white savior' thing going on? How about I have some sort of 'standing next to fellow human beings when they are being assaulted' thing going on. I'm not into playing the fucking hero - NONE of the writers at Jez need to be rescued. I'm just offering to add my voice to theirs…

How can we support you? What can readers/commenters do to push Gawker Media into action?

This is mostly about the lack of science awareness in a school: Mr. Bunny works at a private christian school (as Dir of Tech and Robotics Coach) and earlier this year one of our homebrew beers was selected to be brewed on a professional scale. Gose is the style of beer (nifty old German style with coriander and…

On this morning's stamp order I selected ferns and birds. I'm envious of the local Theatre because they have an excuse to order the choreography stamps. I know that the local museums will be loading up on the Hudson School stamps once they are released. *sigh* I'll just stick with my innocuous plants and plumage.

I just finished ordering stamps for our Membership Department and was soooo tempted by the HP stamps. The only thing that stopped me from ordering hundreds of those suckers was that HP stamps don't really fit within the aesthetic mission of Public Radio.

Either you are PERFECT with satire, or you have completely demonstrated the issue with guys who pull the "nice guy" card. Regardless, you get a slow clap.

Wow... these people want dates that OTHER PEOPLE think are cool? Pick a mathematically or numerically interesting date because you dig numbers. Met your match on a forum talking about the which is better, Pi or Tau? Please get married on 3/14/15. Really like the number 8 because it reminds you of your SO's rockin'…

Ehr Meh Gehrd! Please elaborate! This thread is turning out to be the best part of Tuesday.

TEM - can you get rid of frasketballs? thanks!

I want to see so many of these on the red carpet! I would also like to wear them all... to my office... every damn day.

Houston's is a chain - but don't try say that too loudly near their execs, who will drone one about how its a "collection". The original one was in Nashville, which has been closed for about a decade. J. Alexander's is another "collection" that is VERY similar to Houston's (since some of the original creators of…

OMG its Princess Leia hair from 1931! Ear-buns can now be nerdy and vintage! Oh, crap - that's pretty much the definition of Hipster isn't it? :/
