Spray from Lake Erie and below-freezing temperatures turned Cleveland's West Pierhead Lighthouse into a Popsicle last week, leaving the Coast Guard to worry that any stubborn skippers braving the lake this time of year would miss the shoreline. The light's lens, as well as the rest of the building, is completely iced over—and will be for months.

– “I’m sure there exist boy-girl couples in which Christmas is co-ordinated by the boy, but I’ve never met them. Oh sure, guys “help out”. Some of them might even buy a present or two. My father, in fact, was the food organiser. However, I’ve never met a bloke who was pulling all the strings, making sure everyone gets a gift (which they might even like), ensuring that all the decorations are done, working out who needs to be where and when. In short, they aren’t responsible.”
– “People who expect endless praise for the simple act of recognizing that rape allegations are not something to take lightly remind me of my 8-year-old self, who expected bottomless rewards for doing things like cleaning my room and loading the dishwasher.”
– How do you manage to coexist with a family that trivialises your feminist ire and just wants you to shut up and laugh at their “jokes”?
– “The opening disclaimer, folks, … I’m seriously a bit speechless. I, ranter of mighty rants, simply cannot fucking describe this fuckwittery.”
