On the first day of the Battle of the Somme, 800 (overwhelmingly “white heterosexual”) men of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment went over the top. 68 answered roll call the next morning. Now their male descendants can’t work at NL’s only university which was named in their

I just cancelled my subscription to The New Yorker. I'll be shoplifting it from now on. Fair is fair, Condé Nast

A "senior VP" at a "nonprofit" was pulling $272K a year. Every dollar of it was yours. Sheryl Cowan's salary came from a federal appropriation, routed through USAID, laundered through a DC-area 501(c)(3) so nobody had to call it what it was. Roughly nine out of every ten USAID

The Hilton donated the ~2600 dinners that went unserved at WHCD. They freeze dried the steak and lobster for longer shelf life before giving them to 2 shelters for abused women and children. HUGE thank you to the staff that worked through the night under terrible circumstances.
