Well hell, this is my goddaughter's school system. Looks like somebody's getting a copy of Our Bodies, Ourselves for Christmas.

She lives in Fort Kent, a small town of less than 5,000 people on the border with Canada. What are we afraid is going to happen, exactly? That she infects a Canadian and they make us look bad with a prepared, reasonable and rational response?

I don't find it that odd.

Edward Snowden cost the United States a lot of money, even if that wasn't his plan.

I misread the title as why it may not pay to steal someone else's panther, which I felt was fairly self-explanatory.

Does being asked for a spare cigarette every ten feet count as harassment?

Fossil fuels are massively subsidized, mainly by not requiring anyone to mitigate their waste because it's gaseous instead of liquid or solid. Nuclear plants have to pay for their own decommissioning and disposal. Coal plants don't have to pay for its share of climate change OR the various cancers and diseases it…

You will bear with us and everyone else today as we fight a losing battle with our hyperbolic and hagiographic instincts. But I don't think it's possible to overemphasize this: The Giants don't win the World Series without Madison Bumgarner, and they don't win it unless Bumgarner was near-flawless over 21 innings.

It's probably that. 2 summers ago I had my then boyfriend follow me around for a bit in the back bay area and he got to see several guys making loud remarks and…

This is the Pokemon I've always wanted. B/W attempts at some commentary via the dude trying to free all the Pokemans, but I'd like to see a more in-depth look at the atrocities and horrors of the Pokemon universe. Pokemon used in wars? Pokemon as food? Pokemon experimentation and product testing? All these things and…

I used to use Nova Launcher for that, too - until it got annoying how many accidental triggers of the notification tray stray swipes would cause. For awhile now, I've been using LMT/Pie launcher to replace all my button actions. Now a swipe in from the side where my thumb naturally rests mitigates most accidental…

Fabulous how the apologists decide to tell you you're wrong. I am a rather curvy girl like the one in this video, walking down the streets in Boston can be terrifying. It's just stunning how people can see this video and think this is ok.

It's the kind of idea that sorta-kinda almost makes sense, so long as you wilfully ignore the existence of record-keeping civilizations outside of Western Europe.

I've heard of this before, and was under the impression we have enough other ways to validate the time span between two events to know there was no 300 year gap.

The big thing is just to cut calories, and grain is an easy way to fill up on a lot of calories.
