Billionaire Romney donor uses threats to silence... →
Numerous journalists and bloggers in Idaho — who want to write critically about VanderSloot’s vast funding of right-wing political causes — are petrified even to mention his name for fear of these threats. As his work on the Romney campaign brings him national notoriety, he is now aiming these tactics beyond Idaho. To allow this scheme to continue — whereby billionaires can use their bottomless...

In case people forgot, Chris Brown is awful →
whydoihaveablog:
This is hard to get through, which only points to how important it is to read.
I think a person can make a violent, horrific mistake. I think a good person can grow up in a horrible home and not know how to control their emotions. It’s why I’m obsessed with serial killers, why I reluctantly enjoy learning about rapists. I don’t think anyone is innately bad. I don’t think...

The miracle of the great Zanesville zoo escape—which began last fall when a depressed, desperate man named Terry Thompson set free his vast collection of exotic animals—was that not a single innocent person was hurt. The incident made global news. It also thrust into daylight, if only for a brief moment, a secret world of privately owned exotic animals living off the grid, and often right next...

I love political issues in which I have absolutely not a smidgen of respect or pity for people on the other side. It’s so much tidier, you know?

Tyler Clementi’s Suicide and Dharun Ravi’s Trial →
On a Saturday night in August, 2010, a week before starting college, Dharun Ravi decided to look online for his future Rutgers roommate. He was living with his parents in Plainsboro. Ravi, who was planning to major in math and economics, had learned that he had been assigned to Davidson Hall—a collection of single-story, barracks-like dorms on Busch campus, which is considered the dullest of the...

You guys I’m so conflicted when I go to a blog and it has some soundtrack that’s programmed to auto-play. On the one hand it’s super annoying when it overlaps with my iTunes and I just automatically exit that page even though it may have good content. On the other, sometimes the songs are actually pretty good, and then I have to stay on that one page and look at the same memes...

Just found this exercise challenge online, and it looks challenging! The fact that all these ab exercises should be completed within 15 minutes should be pretty hard for me initially - but why start off with anything less right?

The Boy Who Heard Too Much →
Like a comic-book villain transformed by a tragic accident, Weigman discovered at an early age that his acute hearing gave him superpowers on the telephone. He could impersonate any voice, memorize phone numbers by the sound of the buttons and decipher the inner workings of a phone system by the frequencies and clicks on a call, which he refers to as “songs.” The knowledge enabled him to hack...
