I know that I would pay good money for a Tim Gunn GPS voice module. When you’re late for an appointment and tearing though a complex tangle of streets you’ve never seen before, what you want most of all is something that’s supportive, encouraging, optimistic, and helpful. That’s Tim Gunn, down to the leather soles of his simple but stylish shoes. Dinnnng! “I love...

People who start their search “how 2” are more likely to search “how 2 get pregnant” or “how 2 grow weed.” People who start their search “how one might” are more likely to search “how one might discover a new piece of music”...
Second Worst Last Stand Ever | You Are Dumb →
Did you hear about how Pete Hoekstra, and the man I am now officially dubbing the Stupidest Fucking Person In Congress, Iowa Rep.

The Atlantic | Does the Vaccine Matter? →
All of which leaves open the question of what people should do when faced with a decision about whether to get themselves and their families vaccinated. There is little immediate danger from getting a seasonal flu shot, aside from a sore arm and mild flu-like symptoms. The safety of the swine flu vaccine remains to be seen. In the absence of better evidence, vaccines and antivirals must be viewed...

so far, food system reform has not figured in the national conversation about health care reform. And so the government is poised to go on encouraging America’s fast-food diet with its farm policies even as it takes on added responsibilities for covering the medical costs of that diet. To put it more bluntly, the government is putting itself in the uncomfortable position of subsidizing both the...
