A Vindication of the Rights of Sex Bloggers
So Lena Chen. Here’s a refresher course. She’s a sexblogger from Harvard who tells stories about her sexploits, with strategically placed psuedonyms and (presumably) enough privacy to retain her sanity and, oh yeah, sell some advertising. Recently, some trouble was roused when her vindictive ex published naked pictures of her on the internet, thus ruining [...]

Variety Pack: Damn, You're Good. Here's some Bad & Ugly.
Firstly, I’d like to say that if you’re reading this, you’re a genius. I just took this test (which I got from Apostropha who got it from $3.60 who got if from brownfemipower), and some algorithms indicated that you must be a genius to read this site. For real.

A State of Nobel Panic: Thoughts On Climate Change, Part 1

America, I Love You, But I Think We Should See Other People
Ok, so the funniest part, to me, is that I found this video with this comment: “would this tick you off? [] thinks it’s hilarious. clearly, it’s mostly funny because of a stupid american stereotype. it’s mildly clever and funny, but don’t you agree that the stereotype is a big part of it?” What stereotype?
