“Suicide sometimes proceeds from cowardice, but not always; for cowardice sometimes prevents it; since as many live because they are afraid to die, as many die because they are afraid to live”
The cock block to my "Give a fuck".
In which I rant. I’m really down these days. About a lot of things. I find it hard to have passion or ambition in anything I do. Frequently, I find myself just thinking “Life is a long struggle against shitty stuff until you die.” and I haven’t been able to get out of this mind frame. I feel very soulless and want to get out and see people and do things, but I don’t...

Helmer: Oh, it's outrageous. So you'll run out like this on your most sacred vows.
Nora: What do you think are my most sacred vows?
Helmer: And I have to tell you that! Aren't they your duties to your husband and children?
Nora: I have other duties equally sacred.
Helmer: That isn't true. What duties are they?
Nora: Duties to myself.
Helmer: Before all else, you're a wife and mother.
Nora: I don't believe in that anymore. I believe that, before all else, I'm a human being, no less than you -- or anyway, I ought to try to become one.

For instance, last month a Democrat offered up a bill that should have been uncontroversial: It would have officially repealed the state’s primitive anti-homosexuality law, already long overturned by the state’s Supreme Court. But no: the Tea-Partying Republicans...

No woman is ever “asking” to get raped, no matter what she is wearing or what she looks like. A woman should be allowed to be proud of her own body without feeling like she’s inviting rapists to attack her. It has...

Because banning “uterus” wasn’t ridiculous enough…
Also, as RH Reality Check points out, they think something that 99% of women partake in is “controversial.” Maybe it’s women having sex at all without trying to get pregnant (those non-procreating, pleasure-lovin’ sluts!) that they find controversial.

During the fight over the federal budget, Republican Senator Jon Kyl stated that over 90% of the services performed by Planned Parenthood were abortions. Over the weekend, the folks at Fox & Friends said that Walgreens offered many of the same services as Planned Parenthood. On tonight’s Report, Stephen Colbert hilariously debunked them both.

Ev Williams tries to boil down identity to five parts:
Authentication - Do you have permission?
Representation - Who are you?
Communication - How do I reach you?
Personalization - What do you prefer?
Reputation - How do others regard you?
This is a very tool-centric, or marketing-centric approach, and leaves out — or dismisses — all the messy and...
