I won’t pick out any specifically, out of respect, and that this is not in response to any one person who says this, but the whole concept. The idea that a writer is something more, something transcendent.

This is not The Onion. In New London, Conn., you apparently can be too smart to be a cop:
A man whose bid to become a police officer was rejected after he scored too high on an intelligence test has lost an appeal in his federal lawsuit against the city.

Because it helps with the regulation of glutathione, rosemary helps the body to detox naturally. It also prevents the formation of carcinogenic amines in meat cooked over high heat. Rosemary is also...

microaggressions:
After saying that women are often groped by strangers in bars and public places, a male coworker tells me not to complain, because it happens to men too. He then remarks, “I actually think it’s worse for men, because it’s such a surprise. I mean, women are used to it, so it’s not as bad.” I try to question him about it, and he doesn’t understand why I’m upset. Made me feel...
Dear Movie People:
why do the bad guys always wait patiently while the hero sets up a complicated finishing move? Wouldn’t it just be easier to strike while they’re strategizing?
Dear Movie People:
why do your characters always have to turn on a light to answer the phone?
Dear Movie People
Why do you have people turn on a light, then tiptoe downstairs hoping no one sees or hears them?

From the Department of WTF?: New state bill could make it illegal to sing national anthem ‘inappropriately’

And there’s some judge on TV, today apparently getting a break from small claims, berating a 14-year-old girl who used to be an honor student and now rarely attends school, stays out late at night, and goes around breaking windows. The judge decides that the right course of action, after yelling at her for a while, is to send her to a “scared straight” type situation in jail where...

and one book about the initiation of an African shaman
That’s IT! Same thing with “hoodoo”, “voodoo”, “vodun” and “black magic”.
I have searched for books on African...
