It’s impossible to drive effectively while texting, but many people, especially new drivers, text anyway. When teens taking a driving test were told they had to text while driving, they realized this truth.

“Without great solitude, no serious work is possible,” Picasso said

We all have that one friend that’s either vegan, gluten intolerant, or allergic to nuts/eggs/dairy/all of the above—and feeding them can be stressful if you don’t plan ahead.

From The Archives: On March 16th, 2012, The Star Trek: TNG episode “The Outcast” marked the 20th anniversary of its initial airing.

The episode is particularly notable for being a bold, thinly veiled allegory for homosexual discrimination.

The J’naii, an androgynous humanoid race, once had two sexes, but has since “evolved” beyond genders. However, a small portion of the J’naii are still born with a “gender alignment.” These individuals subsequently develop an attraction to those who align with the opposite sex.

In “The Outcast,” Soren, a female-identifying J’naii born with an attraction to males, falls for Commander Riker, and he for her. When this is discovered, Soren is charged with perversion and brough before a J’naii tribunal where she (unsuccessfully) tries to defend herself and those like her.

Despite being penned a generation ago, the passionate, poignant excoriation uttered by Soren at her trial are, sadly, as necessary today as ever:

What we do is no different from what you do. We talk and laugh. We complain about work. And we wonder about growing old. We talk about our families and we worry about the future. And we cry with each other when things seem hopeless. All of the loving things that you do with each other - that is what we do. And for that we are called misfits, and deviants and criminals. What right do you have to punish us? What right do you have to change us? What makes you think you can dictate how people love each other?

Nick Offerman is best known for his current role as Ron [Fucking] Swanson on NBC’s Parks and Recreation. Megan Mullally is best known for her former role as Karen Walker on NBC’s Will & Grace. But if you thought that Mullally’s reoccuring role as Tammy 2 on Parks and Recreation was the first time this real-life couple appeared together on screen (or on an NBC show), think again. Back in 2001 Offerman appeared as a plumber in Will & Grace’s fourth season who Karen kisses because Stan wants her to sleep with other people. 

Bonus fun fact: Offerman and Mullally wed two years after this episode aired. Adorable!

Now can we work on getting Nick Offerman, Megan Mullalley, Amy Poehler, and Will Arnett to star in something together? I know they’ve all been on Parks but I mean something where they’re all on screen together at the same time. This needs to happen. Make it happen, someone.
