Laquo; Microbes, McCarthyism, and Robotic Origami. We cured breast cancer — yay! Friday, June 15 2012. Great news today: according to this study. Look at it this way: if you told me there was a treatment that left 90% of IBD patients disease-free for five years, I’d say you discovered a cure and offer you sexual favors for a taste of the medicine. Not that those other 10% don’t matter, but if the walk-a-thons. Please know that I think survivors of cancer should form clubs: I have no problem with that, an...

Laquo; PFAM: How Do You Roll? I’ll take The rapists for $200*. So now that Lance Armstrong turns out to be kind of a weasel…. Wednesday, August 29 2012.

Laquo; “Tig” Part I: It’s Not Cancer. Important Developmental Milestones For The Working Child. 8220;Tig” Part II: The Revenge of Julia Sweeney. Tuesday, July 21 2015. Is a film about Tig Notaro, a comedian whose standup set about breast cancer shot her to fame. In part one of my review. I wrote that the film implies her fame is due to unique talent and vulnerability — but once you get past the idea that Notaro is exceptional, the film avoids asking how her cancer set became the phenomenon it is. Without...
