I came here to say that this is great news and reason for celebration. When it is time to vote, in whichever country you happen to live in, please pay attention to whether your candidate has a plan in place to fund basic science. If you live in the US, please keep in mind that that most of your leaders have zero or…

“Shouldn’t have had kids if you couldn’t afford them and where’s the dad? Oh, your husband died and you lost your job? Well, you should have thought of that before you spread your legs.” Believe me, we get trolls here on Jez that think just like Trump all the time. It’s always the mother’s fault for not being…

I feel like it would turn my boobs into two disobedient obese housecats who keep running off into inconvenient directions when I need them to sit still.

I suspect they consider this the “you break it, you bought it” clause.... “I own her now, I can do what I want”.

He’d almost certainly have been refused bail if he’d kidnapped a stranger. Judges (and police, and prosecutors, and juries, and the general public) tend to see domestic violence as totally different, and much less severe, than “regular” violence, because it’s only directed at a woman the abuser is entitled to, and the…

Dear Andrea,

And there’s Penny Oleksiak who, at only 16-years old, took home two bronze, a silver, and a gold medal in women’s swimming (Simone Manuel tied her for the gold). With four medals she set a record for Canadian Olympians with the most medals earned at a single summer games.

Thank you! Not sure how she didn’t make the list, given that those 4 medals she earned means she holds the Canadian record for most medals won by a single athlete in a Summer Games.. hence she’s a record breaker in more ways than one.

PENNY OLEKSIAK.

“Laziness and lack of care from police investigators.” It wasn’t laziness or a lack of care. This wasn’t an oversight.

That’s a good, long cab ride in Manhattan, too. I am not a local, but if I recall correctly from my last unfortunate cab ride, midtown east to Battery Park is $22-ish and that was a long ass ride.
