Is it a matter of “the squeaky wheel gets the grease”? As in, male prisoners are more likely to act out, be violent, and these resources are more likely to alleviate those problems. Female prisoners are less likely to act out, and they might be perceived as less in need of these resources. It isn’t right and it isn’t…

I think that making excuses for the racist Trump supporters needs to stop.

What do you mean “called their bluff”? Dem voters, especially minorities and women, clearly chose Clinton over Sanders. By a large margin. The choice was simple. Vote D and avoid exactly what we have now. White Millenials couldn’t deal with that fact and now deserve the haranguing from articles like this.

Thankfully that appears to be a survey of UK youth, not US youth. Plus, I’m extremely skeptical of the survey, which was apparently done by a marketing group called “The Gild.” And when another website actually went to The Gild’s website, they found that they’re essentially full of shit, and their survey is a…

Viligence is not rewarded; only it’s absence is punished.

How much of a part of this is the insanity of the Breast is Best hysteria? I know there are important documented benefits of breast milk for premature infants because the antibodies in it are valuable for helping them stave off infections, among other things, but I doubt all this demand is coming from preemie moms…

Anecdotal, but most of the patients I assess for opiate detox report they were prescribed opiates first, then became dependent and ended up moving to heroin because it is much cheaper. It is rare to get the folks who just decided one day that heroin would be fun.

To bring this little piece of news even closer to home, how about we all share our sober birthday? I know there’s many of us here that are recovering addicts.

Perhaps! And, again, this may be testament to my own lack of humour, but, on the first International Women’s Day of which the US is taking real notice: this is how the men live. If any men are interested, the women’s locker room isn’t all that different. And there are hundreds of web sites out there that can give us…

No, you’re not alone. From the misuse of ‘mansplaining’ (which feels fucking patronizing as well), to yet another ‘gee I bet women are interested to hear about MEN, a topic that never come up at any other time!’ article, this is some grade A bullshit and it pisses me off. Apparently the ‘men’ here are just too cool to…

I totally appreciate the men writers taking over for International Women’s Day. This said, it seems to me to be odd that on International Women’s Day, on a feminist website, there are a spate of articles about what it is like to be a man, or a ‘mail ally’, or a gossip column (well-intended) that leaves all of the…

The women writers leave for a day and already the men of this site can’t stop talking about their dicks.

Farmers who take photos of their livestock give me a lot of comfort at the end of a long working day. My favourite, and one who posts regularly, is @littleseedfarm.

Ugh this song is pretty bad. What a disappointment. I’m a big fan of hers. She looks great though. I’ve always loved her hair.

We need allies from every end of the political spectrum right now so let’s just be glad Bush stepped away from his easel, where he’s very busy making outsider art, to speak up.

I think I hate him less because I hate Trump so much. I don’t have enough malice to go around.

When W. is the voice of reason, things are quite fucked up.

Omg, this reminds me of the craziest fucking lady I ever waited on. So this lady orders a burger and asks for it well done but with absolutely no charring on it. She says if there is any pink or if there is any char on the outside, I will be wearing it. So, I relay this to the cooks, who look at me like I’m crazy.…

Having spent 7 years working in a steakhouse, I can attest that there are exactly two kinds of adults who eat steak like this:

How unfair to set bond at $2 million. Clearly, this guy already has enough economic anxiety.
