The Similarities of Pit Bulls and Police

Pit bulls can be some of the sweetest, most gentle pets you can get. However, they also have the ability to rip a child to shreds. This disparity isn’t unique to pit bulls, though. Any breed of dog can be a total asshole given the right (well, wrong) circumstances. …

The Problem With the Kyle Rittenhouse Trial is the Intersection of Open Carry and Self Defense Laws

I’m not a lawyer. And very likely, neither are you. That means we interpret high profile trials like the recent Kyle Rittenhouse trial through the lens of every Law & Order episode we’ve ever seen combined with a rudimentary understanding of the situation. And to those of us that saw…

Facebook’s Outage Highlighted Our Hopeless Addiction

Everyone knows social media is bad for them. But as Vonnegut said about another favorite vice, “Beer, of course, is actually a depressant. But poor people will never stop hoping otherwise.” Now, economic status has nothing to do with our reliance on social media outlets or our desire to ignore…

Memorial Day is A Lot Like Abortion

We sure love us some veterans in America. Just ask anybody if they support the troops and you’re guaranteed to get a high-five (possibly a high-ten) and a “hell yeah.” American flags decorate every single bumper on the road. Red white and blue hats bob through every aisle at the…

Daylight Saving Time Needs to Be Stopped

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is one of those interesting things like mumble rap, Donald Trump, and herpes — we all know it sucks, nobody likes it, yet we accept it as an inextricable part of our lives. We’ve always lived with DST so we just accept it as part of…

The Protests Prove Our Freedom Is an Illusion

The United States is a country built of ideas. The major conflicts that have come up in our country’s relatively short lifespan come from a difference of opinion on what those ideas actually are. To some, it’s an inherent gift of freedom. Nobody can tell you what to do. And…

Fellow White People: Think About Race the Way You Think About Space

I don’t know much about outer space. I know it’s big. I know your head explodes if you’re not wearing a helmet. And I know that thinking about it makes me feel confused and stupid. However, I know there are people out there that know far more about space than…

Trump’s Greatest Strength Is That He Doesn’t Care About Us

The best way to hit someone with a snowball is to actually make two of them. Hide one behind your back and toss the other high in the air. Then, while your target is busy looking at the snowball above them, blast in the face with the other one. This…
