You know, context is the key for a joke. Sorry, at some other situation or article, it would work. Not here...

Yes. To all. The drug war has cost this country well over a trillion dollars. It's resulted in the incarceration of tens of millions of low-level, nonviolent drug offenders — overwhelmingly young people, poor people, people of color. It's severely damaged the relationship between the police and those communities that…

Public servant. Public information. It would be no different if he had simply identified himself, as all officers are mandated to do upon civil request. He is accountable for his actions.

I'm betting he's done some reprehensible things to cause her to make this list. And probably gotten away with it.

Really? We all complain from time to time, but I don't know anyone who actually regrets having them or would tell someone else not to. I'm not 100% overjoyed by my kids every moment of every day but just thinking about not having them makes me well up. On the days they are particularly irritating or exhausting my…

I think the men's poster is supposed to be a subversion of the saying, "A woman's place is in the kitchen," not a purposeful reference to sexism among male chefs (though it's clearly tone deaf to that reality, which is another kind of problem).

This "QUICK! MAKE AN EXCUSE!" response drives me bananas. This chick has likely had more than enough excuses made for her.

Thank you. These people are fucking nuts. Yeah, it "could be" anything—hey, maybe ghosts are possessing her body—but it sure as hell looks like a heroin nod. Also, the way the child is reacting makes it obvious she's used to caring for her mother in a strung out state, and that is beyond sad.

It was pretty heartbreaking when it looked like she was making it into a game by nodding her head and keeping it on the same level. I remember doing similar stuff with my alcoholic parent. To everyone saying that it maybe wasn't heroin, I think any decent human being who watches this video can agree that that woman…

My freshman year of college, I passed out on the campus bus on the way to my midterm exam. Not one person offered to help me or see if I was OK. I just got the side-eye from fellow passengers...I'm sure people thought I partied too hard. In reality, I was severely dehydrated and had bronchitis. I was having trouble…

I'm an RN with more experience with this than I often care to recall. This isn't a seizure, it isn't a diabetic low or high, it's a strung-out asshole.

I take the train everyday and ride the bus pretty frequently. I can assure you that people take public transportation strung out all the time.
Sometimes it's scary, it's usually just very sad.
