When news broke last month that the Harvard men’s soccer team kept a “scouting report” ranking the women’s soccer team by their looks and interest in sex, it wasn’t all that surprising. Gross for sure, but if you’ve been on a college campus with large Greek or athletic programs, it’s sort of assumed that this shit […]
Guys, this is Pig. Pig is a dog and she makes my heart do somersaults. She’s from Alabama and is the belle of the ball, aka Birmingham’s annual Do Dah Day pet parade. As you probably noticed, Pig is a little unusual looking for a dog and captures the attention of everyone who meets her. […]

Most of the things bigots do are just plain sad. Take “ex-gay therapy,” for example. A bunch of quacks claim that homosexuals can be “cured” of their same-sex attraction through what they call “gay aversion therapy,” but which is really just shaming and guilt-tripping. “Ex-gay therapy” is roundly criticized by actual psychologists.

Being an introvert can be hard. I sometimes don’t feel understood by other, more outgoing people, or by society as a whole. Even though I’ve learned to make the most of my introverted nature, I still feel like a big ol’ reclusive weirdo sometimes. But this video changed all that. Introversion has never been so […]
Sam Harris and Bill Maher and Richard Dawkins all want really badly for me to criticize Islam. They claim I’m scared to do so because Islamic extremists bully people into silence.
