Endometriosis sucks and it is wonderful that more research is being done into various subtypes so that they can be treated appropriately, rather than lumped into one generic category that ignores huge differences in pathophysiology. This stratification happened in cancer treatment over a decade ago, and the fact that…

kids isn’t even larry clark’s worst film (ken park, anyone?). larry clark and harmony korrine’s obsession with teens is disturbing.

That was dam close. 

I find it so fascinating that so many articles about childfree women / the decision not to have children are completely devoid of discussions around men. The vast majority of the time, having a kid is a two-person decision and process. Where are all the articles about men who “decided” not to have children? Where’s…

Say what you will about Macron and Trudeau, they wear a good suit, as we Olds used to say.

Congrats, Jezebel, Stretch Armstrong is a huge get for the team.

He does have an ongoing injury, though, for which he needed two surgeries last year. He hadn’t played a professional tennis match in almost 18 months. Clay courts are notoriously hard on the body, especially the knees/ankles with the sliding. His physiotherapist advised that he not continue to strain his knee by…

This article is beyond disingenuous. Federer had a physical ailment and withdrew from the tournament with no penalties. Osaka had a psychological ailment and withdrew from the tournament with no penalties.

I hope this at least leads to a fruitful conversation.

Yet another side effect of making guns easily available to everyone is that police feel justified in overreacting to every real or perceived threat as if their life is in danger.

Wait... Osaka was fined for skipping the press event and then she dropped out, which she was not fined for.Federer dropped out but never skipped media events, So he wasn’t fined. If she had dropped out before skipping the press, she wouldn’t have been fined either, I assume.

I’m deeply confused by this comparison as there was no fine levied on Osaka for withdrawing from the tournament. In addition there have been multiple players who have withdrawn from these tournaments over the years, often due to injuries, without criticism from the heads of the organizations. The criticism and the…

You’re from Canada? I am too. And these kinds of abuses do happen up here. Not as frequently. Obviously. We’re 1/10th the population. But it does happen and when it does it’s largely not national news. And it’s damn dangerous for us to simply assume that we’re immune from this because we’re Canadians!  Two seconds of…

Counterpoint: If someone goes above moving hives of bees based only on what they saw on a few social media videos, we should not be particularly concerned for their welfare.

These are excellent points. I think the better way to approach this issue would be a bigger piece on the issues you bring up. But that’s not happening yet; instead this really seems to be about “Ellie Kemper’s problematic racist past”

Liberal feminists: “we’ve reduced sexism in war”

I know I’m in the minority on this, but I truly believe we need mandatory national service in the US, for all young men and women. It doesn’t have to be military service per se, just service.

It’s not *quite* accusing someone of Nazi sympathies because they once owned a VW Beetle made in the ‘70s, but it’s only a step or two removed from it.

We really doing this? Really? I mean we have Texas trying to take away the right to vote for anyone that isn’t white, actually seasons their food and can clap on the 2 & 4 and this is what you’re concerned with? I am all for multi-tasking but I am also for priorities and this ain’t it. Unless you have footage of her…

There’s really not much of anything here. The headline and the beginning of the story made it sound like Erin from The Office was burning crosses and shit. Nope, she attended some corny debutante ball thing that has a racist past. Most of the US has a racist past.
