Orcas eat great white sharks. They hunt seals, dolphins, and baby whales. They have never killed a single human in the open ocean. Not once, in all of recorded history. An orca's brain weighs up to 15 pounds. Yours weighs about 3. They have roughly double the brain cells we do

I love how addicted doctors are to re-diagnosing us w/the same shit we’ve already been diagnosed, how if we come in & tell them what other doctors have already told us they won’t believe us until they personally replicate the literal same tests & baby step treatments first.

I truly hate this argument, which assumes men simply have names but women’s are all somehow men’s. By this logic, it’s not your dad’s name either - it’s his dad’s. And not his either - his dad’s. Your name is actually your name. And yes of course women should have the legal

If there really are so many administrative challenges, maybe both parents should keep their names and the child should get the surname of whichever parent is more likely to do the bulk of the child-related administrative things, like school pickups and drop-offs, doctors

This isn't rose colored glasses. The internet really was better in the past before a small handful of corporations gobbled everything up. It used to be unbelievably good. The Internet Archive is one of the last vestiges of an era where the internet served people. Don't let it die

patients online: doctors are frequently dismissive and sometimes outright derisive doctors online, without a hint of irony: you don’t know what you’re talking about

People hate it because it is built on theft; bombards them with misinformation; and is being used to replace jobs with inferior automation. It's a blight on society. It's hated because it's vile

A 90-year-old woman emailed me this week. She told me she was raped by her doctor 60 years ago. "A woman lawyer told me not to prosecute him because I would be dragged through the mud," she explained. I get emails like this almost every day. These women aren't asking me for

Every app doesn’t need an AI assistant bro leave me alone.

It’s good when sexual abusers fave consequences; it’s a rare acknowledgment of the wrong of rape. It’s not an injustice that justifies murder.

make sure you choose a password that contains capital letters, numbers, and special symbols so that someday the data broker who purchases your info can go "ooh good password" after your login details are inevitably leaked in a data breach you can do nothing to prevent

Police don’t prevent crime. They show up after it happens. Crime prevention starts with funding social programs and creating opportunity.

Most people say they want affordable housing. What they usually mean is: “I want my kids to be able to buy a house, but I also want my house to go up 8% a year forever, and I definitely do not want a fourplex near me.” That is the Canadian housing crisis in one sentence.

men want to use their money to get young hot wives then balk when those young hot wives want it in writing that the maintenance they need to remain young and hot will be provided for

I would rather starve to death than work for the company that made the rocket that killed this child, and I don’t understand anybody who doesn’t feel the same way

This is coming from a place of warmth and acceptance… -It’s ‘sleight of hand’ -It’s ‘bated breath’ -It’s ‘lo and behold’ -It’s ‘one fell swoop’ -It’s ‘brass tacks’ -It’s ‘free rein’

Actually, you misunderstand the purpose of the long shower. I'm not doing anything in there. I am literally staring into nothingness and using the sensory input of falling water to temporarily wash away some of the horror of corporeal human life.
