You are most likely familiar with the neo-nazi group of the Traditionalist Worker Party due to their explosive Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia last August, which resulted in dozens of injuries and one death. And, if you’ve been rooting for the hate group’s demise ever since, then today’s your lucky day: it seems...

While the world has seemingly made great strides towards a more inclusive and diverse society, it’s always important to remember that there’s still a long way to go. For every progressive moment, there always seems to be some sort of contrarian backlash — particularly when the subject matter manages to offend men’s fragile masculinity. Dutch...

Biology class, while important for certain high-paying degrees, is typically the place where students end up dozing off during lectures about mitosis and misspelling “Golgi apparatus” while diagramming cells — it’s generally not the setting for a DNA reveal of Jerry Springer proportions. However, there’s a first time for everything. Recently, Twitter user Anya was...

2018 is the year of the woman, right? Ha ha, so cool how a woman’s right to her own body is still up for debate by porridge-skinned white men, and the wage gap still exists, and the president has sexually assaulted or harassed over 19 women and still continues to be president. Very cool. At...

Zoos are pretty great. You get to look at antelopes hump or a rhino taking a massive dump and what’s not to love about that? But wouldn’t it be great if you knew the quality of that rhino? After all, if I’m going to stare at a koala napping in a eucalyptus tree, I want...

Married life has its positives and negatives. On one hand you have a teammate. Someone who knows you better than anyone else and has your back no matter what.

Russian physicist Alexander Berezin thinks he may have found an answer to why we haven’t encountered intelligent life in the universe, and it’s depressing as hell. Berezin’s new paper presents a hypothetical solution to the Fermi Paradox. The Fermi paradox states that, given the literally astronomical number of stars in our galaxy (including those with...

Every single woman in the world has been forced to repeatedly fend off advances from men, oftentimes continuously and with a decreasingly patient tone of voice. Flat-out rudeness is often discouraged, as angering an already belligerent man can result in bodily harm. Yay feminism! (***Waits as comments from men flood in, half cyber-shouting “not all...

When something tragic happens to you in public and complete strangers band together to help you out, it gives you a little more faith in humanity in this hot, garbage world. One Twitter user, Erin, and her husband were out in Philly when Brian happened to drop his wedding ring–and, it fell into a grate...

Vegans and vegetarians are always boasting about how incredible tofu is in replacement of meat and other products. While eating meat provides our bodies with certain nutrients and vitamins, many vegans and vegetarians use tofu as a replacement. But there are also those who enjoy eating tofu and do not choose to live a vegan...

Can we as a society establish the term ‘foodiesexual’ once and for all? For SOME of us, food is more than a method of staying alive. It is a passion. A hobby. A TRUE LOVE. I’ve had boyfriends I like less than I like fried chicken, and that’s a fact. If you find yourself in...
