Just to make that clear. I love clothes. Usually, as a high school student with a minimum wage job and no allowance, I can’t afford them. I have to save up for a couple months to buy some high-end items, so usually I just go to eBay and buy some scarves or something.

A recent Supreme Court ruling has (again) declared representations of child pornography (drawn, digitally drawn etc) to also constitute child pornography.
Jill from Feministe has a nice post analyzing the intentions behind the ruling.

Originally given a 50-50 chance of recovery, we are delighted to report that odds are now in our favor. [...]

The first version of this song was called “Heart Shaped Gun.” Lyrics are here, a video is here.
Augustana changed the lyrics. The melody is still the same. The result:
Hey Now

Based on the responses to this post, I have a couple things to say:
Horse racing does in fact need changes. The changes are, however, not these, but these.
Betting does drive a huge chunk of horse racing. Race tracks make their gabillions of dollars off of betting (a huge number, even if percentages fell slightly). It’s also [...]
If you were watching the Kentucky Derby telecast, you would know that Big Brown won, and Eight Belles finished second but broke down after her finish. She was euthanized. Already, after checking the google news feed of news on Eight Belles, comments on different newspaper articles are clamoring to “check into this sport” for animal [...]
