Reader Rants: Remember when we were all nostalgic? – Gabriel Brawley
Gabriel is a grown up. I am not. When I do grown up things like pay the mortgage or make an appointment at the doctor’s office or go the entire night without pooping the bed, I want to jump out of my chair (or bed) and yell “YEAH! I DID IT! I’M A BIG GIRL!” Gabriel doesn’t do that. And…

Reader Rants: What Scientists actually do (Violent J? You there?) – Kirsten Mackenzie
Scientists may be always pissing off Violent J and Shaggy and lying to them about how fuckin’ magnets work (which, yes, are lyrics that I am still amused by and believe with every bit of my soul that J’s profound questions about the universe will be the topic of philosophical Juggalo debates for centuries to come… provided weed and Faygo…
