How could you not peg this as fake?! My BFF took a ton of classes in gender studies at a CSU that were filled with dudes only taking them for GE so I know this hypothetical dude exists but really slow your roll.

Oh sheesh the vast majority of the criticism had nothing to do with her support of Bernie. I'm a feminist and I can list so many women I wouldn't support for any office no matter how much I was paid. She seemed almost gleeful that Trump would destroy America, as if Hilary supporters deserved it. That's petty and…

Really this is the one I meant...although all radio lab is pretty good: http://www.radiolab.org/story/update-2…

The story is called 23 weeks 6 days and can be found here: http://www.radiolab.org/story/288733-2…

I think the lack of insight from the police comes from putting themselves in the positions of the victims or abusers. This is why in the old times you could get a cop to beat the shit out of your husband when he broke your face again. Or if the guy was their buddy they would just ignore it cause you’re a witch and…

Notice that they call the victim a snitch. That is very telling to me. A girl accuses you of sexual abuse you say sure but she was a whore, a young black man sure but he is a snitch aka worst thing you can call a young impoverished black man. I really hope they can get some charges on this guy, he sounds like a creep.

Hmm am I alone in thinking that while model UN is cool (hey I have a B.A. in International Relations) but it's not a qualification I would ever use to obtain, let alone justify, advising someone on foreign policy for a living. This is the kind of thing that left my resume about a year after I graduated.

There is a great npr piece about the viability period, radio lab I think. I wish there were more in depth pieces on 2nd term abortions. Hell, I had to take off work unpaid just to get my bc shot. Laws forcing pregnancy are cruel.

I laughed at the Nicole Kidman nose thing. There’s a difference between wearing a prosthetic to impersonate a very specific nose and wearing one to recreate the “typical black nose”. Especially when the width of the nose was specifically pointed out as an ugly feature of black women. These people are so out of touch,…

You should be careful about saying 24 weeks is the earliest a baby can survive outside the uterus. It's scientifically inaccurate because it was an arbitrary number chosen using a method other than health.

My mom as a school board member reads books to a couple different classes for Read Across America day. She made me read all of her possible selections (all beloved books from my young childhood) this year and some I deemed too scary and wondered why the heck she read them to me as a kid. I think that says a lot about…

Aw, I miss Flav, I have so many memories of eating crap on the couch with my roommates while watching his show. Same for Judge Alex, I don't think I could have made it through school without him.

So much agree. Maybe in the future more celebrities will require photo approval if they do a photoshopped spread. I really want to personally yell at the guy who photoshops someone who is objectively gorgeous.

To me she looked so much like Padma Lakshmi I did a double take. Both in skin tone and the way her face looks they really nailed the Padma.

Ok that whole interview was bizarre but to be fair: I have ridden the subway thousands and thousands of times and I would say that you use a token because I lived in Toronto where they are only now getting rid of them. That question is so NY centric it irks me. Subway systems are different everywhere you go. I…

Ya I saw this story somewhere else and I was mad! When we talk about cultural appropriation and theft we should focus on the media and fashion, not the teens who try unsuccessfully to attempt it. A lot of white dudes I know attempted dreads in high school and college and quickly learned they are the worst. Just as I…

ya people publicly expressing hate deserve what they get. I have so much sympathy for his bandmates if indeed they didn't know about his opinions. It's terrible to have your career blown up because your colleague is a douchebag. As for the main guy though, no one needs to threaten him let's all just agree never to buy…

I talked about this case with my mom (an elected school board member) last night an she was pissed. In her opinion the kids should go through a conflict resolution type of meeting where they talk about their problems and the consequences of their actions. She sees a lot of expulsion cases and I think she's right on…

I love the “once promising” shit, really? Would you like a creepy rapist to be your surgeon? If we ruin the “future careers” of all the creepers by giving them jail time what will we be left with? Oh just “namby pamby” men who believe women deserve respect.

I'm sorry but while interesting, this self-important post about others failing basic journalistic standards is ridiculous. You know where you work don't you?
