Hey folks, great news! Ann Romney is going to take care of Mittsey’s gender gap by showing us all she’s the gold standard of American womanhood; white, more or less Christian, stay-at-home mom, and ideal help meet.

Recently, I booked an airline ticket through United Airlines and decided to pop for the “Economy Plus” seating. It added $54 to one leg and $64 to the other but I figured: why not. The ticket was actually less than I’d expected and I’m an adult with long legs and a little money in the bank. I deserve it. When I happened to check my bank statement on-line (I pay for everything with my debit card) I noticed that I’d been charged twice for each of the economy plus additions; a total of $118 that United, essentially, stole from my bank account. Trying to reverse these charges has plunged me into a bureaucratic rabbit hole of hell that has gotten me thinking: just how much is corporate America filching from us, right beneath our noses?

As China gets ready to launch some taikonauts (every country must have a unique name for their space going people) into space the government has decided that women will be included as two of the seven to venture into microgravity. But there are a few factors that helped them decide which women were qualified to go into space. The names will not be released until just before the June launch.

Welcome to a new series of columns on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints for people who are unfamiliar with the Mormon Church. Since Mitt Romney is a viable candidate for president, the religion is being discussed a lot. I, personally, had not heard much about the church before I moved to Colorado. The church is based in Utah and is much more common out west. Since moving here, I’ve had the opportunity to learn more about the church and thought I’d share some facts. NurseWretched pitched in with her extensive knowledge of the church as a one-time member. Continue reading
In 2007, BioWare released Mass Effect, the first game in a new epic trilogy of action/RPG games. In 2010, they released Mass Effect 2, the second much-anticipated installment, to rave reviews. A week ago, they released Mass Effect 3, the epic conclusion to the trilogy.
Unfortunately, as many gamers have discovered, the galaxy does not end with a bang, but rather, with a very disappointing whimper.
NOTE: THIS ARTICLE CONTAINS MAJOR SPOILERS OF MASS EFFECT 3, SPECIFICALLY THE ENDING. DO NOT READ IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE SPOILED. CONSIDER YOURSELF WARNED.

In a brief post on the front page of Gawker this afternoon, it was announced that Brian Moylan is leaving Gawker Media. The post was short and did not give a reason for the separation or outline Moylan’s future plans. The announcement was followed by praise for Moylan from some of the other members of the Gawker staff but management was noticeably absent, whereas with Richard Lawson’s goodbye post Remy Stern had a few nice words.
