Open Letter to that 53% Guy →
I understand your pride in what you’ve accomplished, but I want to ask you something.
Do you really want the bar set this high? Do you really want to live in a society where just getting by requires a person to hold down two jobs and work 60 to 70 hours a week? Is that your idea of the American Dream?
Do you really want to spend the rest of your life working two jobs and 60 to 70 hours...

What women don’t want: pink beer, pink cars, a new... →
Beer is brown. Apparently, this is a problem for me. It turns out that, as a woman, I require my beverages in a less threatening hue – like pink, which is the colour of a new “crisp rose beer” launching this fall in Britain. Animée is aimed at women, and also comes in white (clear filtered) and yellow (zesty lemon), because those are the colours of spring flowers, and ladies like flowers. It’s...

One of the most decorated WWII servicewomen, Nancy Wake led 7,000 maquisards - armed resistance fighters - in battles against the Nazis. She rode a bicycle for more than 500 miles through several German checkpoints to replace codes her wireless operator had been forced to destroy in a raid. She even killed an SS sentry with her...

BBC News - Trojan T-shirt targets German... →
Progressive activists handed out free t-shirts at a neo-nazi event in Germany:
The so-called Trojan T-shirts bore a design of a skull and right-wing flags and the words “hardcore rebels”.
But, once washed, the design dissolves to reveal a message telling people to break with extremism.
