Next week is “Shark Week” on Discovery Channel. While I do enjoy watching sharks on TV, I find their sometime-prey, dolphins, more interesting. This week, there was a thought-provoking letter in the Journal of Investigative Dermatology that explored how dolphins heal from shark bites that would be fatal to many other species, including humans. Author Michael Zasloff, a professor of...

"You can’t win a GOP Primary
leftish:
without the backing of the 25% of Americans who believe in a literal 6 day creation, think that Gay people choose to be Gay, and believe everyone except them will go to Hell when they die, because they didn’t ask Jesus to accept them.”

insomnia things
insomnia seems like it has some sort of glamorous aura surrounding it because it’s somehow become associated with neurotic virtuoso authors and artists as if not being able to sleep comes hand in hand with genius. i’ve seen droves of shitty teenagers doing this pathetic act where they simultaneously complain and brag about how they’re “so tired” and “just...

At issue are comments Dean made on his own radio show last spring:
“Muslims are calling for the executions of homosexuals in America. This just shows you they themselves are upholding the laws that are even in the Bible of the Judeo-Christian God, but they seem to be more moral than even the American Christians do, because these people are livid about enforcing their laws. They know...

Here is a document the USDA doesn’t want you to see. It’s what the agency calls a “technical review”—nothing more than a USDA-contracted researcher’s simple, blunt summary of recent academic findings on the growing problem of antibiotic-resistant infections and their link with factory animal farms. The topic is a serious one. A single antibiotic-resistant pathogen,...

Remember when The New York Times’ David Carr made an offhand comment about Missouri and Kansas being home to “the dance of the low, sloping foreheads,” and everyone got mad at East Coast elitism? It’s infuriating to feel like people are judging you based on your zip code rather than your merits, especially when those people are the ones you view as your cultural allies.

One such moment came yesterday afternoon, when 27-year-old Tim DeChristopher was sentenced to two years in prison for disrupting a federal auction of oil and gas leases in 2008. The U.S. Attorney’s office went after DeChristopher because they wanted to make an example out of him, to show...
