- April 2002 was a time I can't erase from my memory. I experienced pain coming in waves. I had tears in my eyes. I called an OB/GYN in my network. I traveled to his office. I had an ultrasound done. I had tests done. I had to call off work that day. I...35 comments 88 Recs
- One of the most prominent and disturbing elements of Donald Trump's character (or lack thereof) is his tendency to embrace the language and behavior of mafia dons. He regards himself as an ...86 comments 170 Recs

- This was shared by a retired public radio host. (I won’t say who, but if she wants to come forward and claim her laurels, all the better.) The graphic itself was created by Gary Huck. (Give him some loves.) It’s effing brilliant: If NPR doesn’t steal...72 comments 260 Recs

- We need to set the record straight about something. It’s now taken for granted that carbon compounds like methane have a tetrahedral structure: But I wanted you to know who first determined this extremely important fact, back in 1929. It was not the...76 comments 331 Recs
