It’s a girl, a film being released this year, documents the practice of killing unwanted baby girls in South Asia. The trailer’s most chilling scene is one with an Indian woman who, unable to contain her laughter, confesses to having killed eight infant daughters.

Dear Chipotle gods,
When you brought chorizo to the land, we asked ourselves whether you had done market research at all. But we stayed faithful, we trusted your almighty judgment.
When you brought brown rice upon us, we understood this was a test of our will, a sign that you believed in our ability to overcome. We stood strong, we carried our chili peppers proudly.
But when you brought roasted tomato salsa and...

My body is the dumbest ever
You can always tell when spring is around the corner because I will get sick. Partly sunny and breezy, 56 degrees! Tomorrow, warmer, 64 degrees! It’s like I’m a motherfucking groundhog.

The Kill Team →
The poppy plants were still low to the ground at that time of year. The two soldiers, Cpl. Jeremy Morlock and Pfc. Andrew Holmes, saw a young farmer who was working by himself among the spiky shoots. Off in the distance, a few other soldiers stood sentry. But the farmer was the only Afghan in sight. With no one around to witness, the timing was right. And just like that, they picked him for...

I throw my hands up in the air sometimes
My building’s laundry room plays some admittedly poppin’ music, to which I was bopping along while measuring out a ladleful of my All Small & Mighty (Fresh Rain - only the best for my socks).
Having deposited the proper coinage, I gracefully, as always, dance to the door to Taio Cruz’s Dynamite. I obligingly throw my hands up in the air because you sometimes ey-oh, gotta let...

Trial by Fire: Did Texas execute an innocent man? →
Over the years, Willingham’s letters home became increasingly despairing. “This is a hard place, and it makes a person hard inside,” he wrote. “I told myself that was one thing I did not want and that was for this place to make me bitter, but it is hard.” He went on, “They have [executed] at least one person every month I have been here. It is senseless and brutal … You see, we are not living in...

“The Ikea effect” seems an inappropriate name for the notion that we derive greater enjoyment from things we’ve worked harder to create. You can see the rationale of the researchers who coined it – there’s a unique pleasure to successful self-assembly – but they’d clearly had only atypically trouble-free encounters with Billy bookshelves. Yet, more generally,...
