Whenever I hear about physicians like these, it makes me think of all the med students entering the profession because they have the chance to make boatloads of money, not because they actually care about people.

I’ve had this happen to me multiple times as a child. Once my sister and I both fell asleep on the school bus, and instead of stopping the driver continued on the rest of her route, going to other schools and picking up/dropping off kids, and I didn’t get home until dark. And once, we missed our summer school bus so I…

tbh though having all those tacky bumper stickers on your car in Kansas is pretty badass

Ever since I read My Side of the Mountain in grade school I have enjoyed learning about different ways to use common wild plants as foods and general life-hacks, which also ties into my interests in biology and natural history. Unfortunately, most other people with similar interests only do it because 1) they have…

There is more intelligence and eloquence in RBG’s thick rimmed glasses than in all of Trump’s (quite substantial) body.

This! And what this article didn’t mention was that he enjoyed penetrating girls with the parents in the room. BRB, barfing.

How was he found out, and what happened to him? Because I hope this man lost his license to practice and out of a job for the rest of his life. He’s a disgrace to medicine, a profession built on compassion, trust, and consent.

I was so confused by those ropes, even the non athletic kids could climb them but I could never get a grip on the sweaty disgusting knots. Plus what would the school do if you fell from the rope near the top?? Even as a kid I knew those things were potential liabilities.

I’m just so glad we’re not having to protest a dead child this time. Progress!

low-key appreciate use of “alumnus” instead of “alumni”

This was a good article. I was too young to remember much of the Clinton administration (I almost typed Clinton I there, *sob*) and big moments like the Lewinsky affair simply passed me by, which I guess means my parents did a good job. I do remember the election of Bush II (our elementary school held a mock election…

lol sorry that got dark really fast, I’m tired and angry. ISIS defaces ancient artifacts and finances itself with looted antiquities, and to stop them (ostensibly) we will replace our artists and thinkers with zealots and propagandists.

It’s not even just Sesame Street, but also public radio and television as a whole, which run many programs that give accurate, balanced coverage of news and issues around the world, and so pose a threat to Trump’s regime and to conservatives as a whole. Not to mention funding for arts programs and music programs, many…

Oh no I meant it was too subtle for Kinja! Subtlety lends elegance to a witty comment.

this is too subtle

I hope this job literally kills him. (For the NSA, if you’re reading this I mean death by chronic stress)

How did Petraeus end up on a panel with PBS NewsHour a while back? I think it was a discussion about Obama’s foreign policy legacy, and I thought it strange that he was granted a place at the discussion given that he hasn’t been in the public eye much since the scandal.

Me too! I thought it was another one of those mediocre romcoms, but I heard the interview with Rachel Bloom on Fresh Air and was hooked instantly.

ummm yeah but there’s major Republican donors who need a job

You’re right in that the doctors and scientists at the time who used Lack’s cells basically saw her as only a source of interesting cells with enormous potential as experimental subjects. Medicine at this time was extremely paternalistic toward all laymen in general, even more so if you weren’t female, black, and not…
