Say, ladies! Are you a fan of drinking? And NOT a fan of sexual assault? I can totally sympathize! It’s true that drinking alcoholic beverages – IN MODERATION – can be a delightful way to pass the time. And it’s also true that the world is a scary place. Never more scary than when, after […]
Hello! And greetings! From glamorous central Ohio! Things move a little slower out here, in central Ohio. And by “things,” I mean, “me, because I am in my mom’s house watching Project Runway.” Oh, but also it is Sexist Beatdown day! So, you know, there’s that. So, you know what job the Superfreakonomics guys think […]
