Great Emails from Mom After She Reads the New...
The world has changed so much since I was a kid. The latest GOOD reminded me again how much.
I remember how insistent my dad was about getting a college education. He had not completed college. Because of the the great depression, he had to leave school and get a job. He never went back and really held feelings that it hampered him from being all that he had hoped to be. He was quite a...

In a Lifehacker poll from March 2011, nearly a third of respondents said they owned at least five computers, an especially astounding figure if you consider that smartphones didn’t count in the poll. Only 8 percent of respondents owned just one computer. To be fair, Lifehacker readers aren’t your average American—it’s a site dedicated to improving your life through ...

But know I’m understanding that it’s actually it’s a form of sexual assault. And it’s crazy that I’m just now understanding this.
I’m not going to lie to you…my eyes are opening just from reading the comments, the stuff that is coming from people. They say stuff like, “Does he get it?” I’m reading it and I am starting to get it. I am looking at this and I am looking...

The general suicide rate in China is 22 per 100,000 people. That is a high rate by international standards but that is the one that we should be looking at to try and judge the suicide rate at Foxconn.
Some bloviating dipshit at Forbes tries really, really hard to make it seem like a bunch of Foxconn people killing themselves ain’t all that bad, completely ignoring the fact that...

In 1784, five years before he became president of the United States, George Washington, 52, was nearly toothless. So he hired a dentist to transplant nine teeth into his jaw—having extracted them from the mouths of his slaves.
Happy Presidents’ Day! Today, remember that even “great” men are but men.

It generally feels pretty gimmicky to say, “What if so and so said this?” in discussions of race, because the context gets warped. In this case, though, because we’re talking about an Asian man who has time and again encountered racism in his career (Lin used to be called a “chink” when he played college ball), it seems more apt than usual.

5. Be sexy. Wall Street men tend to like women who are attractive and that other men notice when they walk in the room. This does not mean that you should look sleazy or inappropriate, this just means that you should bring your “A game” when you go out with him, whatever that is.
“How to Date a Wall Street Man”!!!!! We don’t deserve the ice caps! Let us drown! See ya!
