Can someone clarify something for me? Because I'm confused. I thought the ACA required all insurance plans to cover birth control. Why is there even an exemption for religious organizations? It seems logical to just say it's covered across the board and there ARE no plans that don't cover birth control, so quit yer…

This is something that bugs me, too—the "meritocracy" ideal that says that those who work harder have more passion and thus deserve to succeed in life, which means answering emails at 3 in the morning on a Friday and being at the office Monday morning at 5 am. I'm a business/tech reporter and I hear this a lot from…
I DO feel like I could just swim right in.
Jesus Christ. That's horrifying. My sister had something similar happen in a bar in Sligo. She and my other sister were drinking with a group of guys and one of them actually stood up, hoisted her up by her crotch, and carried her out of the bar. He ended up carrying her clear across the road to another bar.
Do all the stuff in the morning...
I hate the "no level of alcohol has been proven safe so don't do it" line alongside the "so if you can't abstain from alcohol for nine months out of your entire life, you're clearly an alcoholic" line. I've heard that a few times and with that logic, you could also say that if you can't abstain from salami for nine…
"I highly doubt a postive pregnancy test will dissuade many alcoholics from going into the bar and getting drunk."
What THE FUCK kind of dystopian shit is this??
Okay, you know what REALLY fries my nads about all of the stories covering this? They keep referring to the captain as his "mistress." Half of them aren't even mentioning the fact that she's a captain. This is the first fucking article I've seen that has referred to her as a captain. Calling her his "mistress" makes…
I thought I felt the universe suddenly become a little less horrible this morning.
If I give Maria Kang my latest bloodwork panel, will she shut the fuck up and leave me alone? My doctor says my LDL cholesterol is the best she's ever seen! Suck it, Kang!
I'm so fucking done with mobile app companies capitalizing on the bro atmosphere in tech to come up with stupid, sexist bullshit like this. At TechCrunch Disrupt, we had Titstare and a dude pretending to masturbate on stage, because tits and dicks, right??!?! BAHAHA. But there are still a bunch of Silicon Valley…
I'm also buy curios. Maybe we should experiment? With some commemorative Elvis plates?
Shit, I totally forgot to send HRC flowers on Valentine's Day...
That was totally me. My mom was a huge, active pro-lifer, did "crisis pregnancy counseling," the whole shabang. When I was eight I found a brochure that depicted the process of a "partial-birth" abortion and I had nightmares for weeks. I became truly convinced that abortion doctors actually hated babies and wanted…
When I got pregnant with my first son in 2011, I legitimately thought "no sweat, this will cost me what, $200, maybe $300? Piece of cake." And then I got the bill for $6000 and was completely blindsided by the injustice of it all. Like, how is that even possible that I live in the richest country in the world, but…
Ho.ly. Fuck.
Thanks for nothing, for-profit U.S. healthcare system.
I love me some Obamacare but I wish we were doing more to overhaul the for-profit medical system altogether (Obamacare is always going to be flawed as long as we're trying to keep profits flowing). Some of the prices that hospitals charge are completely ridiculous for shit that you can get at CVS for a fraction of the…
