She obviously never learned how to argue (like there’s much of an argument for her to make, but still). 

I like those flustered little sighs she gives when she’s grasping for a point.

Anderson Cooper is calm as fuck.

Well isn’t she just a ball of joy.

Everyone: what my extended family is like.

North Carolinians who can’t argue for shit and have awful opinions.

I am not sure whether I should laugh or cry.

Income inequality, as seen from space

May 24, 2012 by Tim De Chant

Last week, I wrote about how urban trees—or the lack thereof—can reveal income inequality. After writing that article, I was curious, could I actually see income inequality from space? It turned out to be easier than I expected.

Below are satellite images from Google Earth that show two neighborhoods from a selection of cities around the world. In case it isn’t obvious, the first image is the less well-off neighborhood, the second the wealthier one.

I created a same sex marriage map:

-black: ban on same sex marriage

-translucent flag: civil unions or domestic partnerships for same sex couples

-opaque flag: marriage equality

I never realized it was this bad! 

This is why Iowa is fabulous. Hope the rest of you all can join us soon ^_^

Wow I never knew there were so few states where same sex marriage is legal.

This is sad.

1. An estimated 19-20 million unsafe abortions take place every year. 97% of these are in developing countries.
   
   
2. Despite its frequency, unsafe abortion remains one of the most neglected global public health challenges.
   
   
3. An estimated 68,000 women die every year from unsafe abortion, and millions more are injured, many permanently.
   
   
4. Leading causes of death are hemorrhage, infection, and poisoning from substances used to induce abortion.
   
   
5. Access to modern contraception can reduce but never eliminate the need for abortion.
   
   
6. Legalisation of abortion is a necessary but insufficient step toward eliminating unsafe abortion.
   
   
7. When abortion is made legal, safe, and easily accessible, women’s health rapidly improves. By contrast, women’s health deteriorates when access to safe abortion is made more difficult or illegal.
   
   
8. Legal abortion in developed countries is one of the safest procedures in contemporary practice, with case-fatality rates less than one death per 100,000 procedures.
   
   
9. Manual vacuum aspiration (a handheld syringe as a suction source) and medical methods of inducing abortion have reduced complications.
   
   
10. Treating complications of unsafe abortion overwhelms impoverished health-care services and diverts limited resources from other critical health-care programmes.
    
    
11. The underlying causes of this global pandemic are apathy and disdain for women; they suffer and die because they are not valued.

Say What Now of the Day: The city of Lincoln, Nebraska, is debating a proposal that would protect the LGBT community from discrimination in housing, employment, and public accommodations, and one local resident just couldn’t miss the opportunity to rant. Jane Skrovota wins Worst in Show for her hate-filled testimony vitriol in public hearings this week.

The lowlights have been helpfully transcribed (but be sure to watch the video; the horrified guy behind crazy lady is a riot):

• “P- E- N- I- S goes into the anus to rupture intestines. The more a man does this the more he’ll be a fatality or a homicide…”
• “A huge percent of gay men in school grounds molest boys, partly because they don’t have AIDS yet…”
• “Hillary Clinton’s roommate four years in college was a gay woman. To avoid going gay like Clinton did, college students need single rooms and single gender dorms… A college woman is seduced with illegal Rohypnol to go gay.”
• “Candida fungus grows hugely on a corpse. AIDS is a candida fungus disease…”
• “Gays can transform to be celibate to live to be 80 years old.”
• “Jesus was kissed by Judas, a homo, who tried to sabotage Jesus’ kind ideas. Do you choose Jesus, a celibate, or Judas, a homo? You have to choose!”
