SMACK AND GRAB
How Police Harassment At Methadone Clinics Makes Quitting Heroin Even Harder
buzzfeed.com
With heroin addiction skyrocketing, methadone remains the gold standard for narcotics dependence treatment. Yet cops nationwide target heavily regulated methadone clinics to turn vulnerable addicts into informants, with little public outcry, reaffirming the medicine's enduring, deadly stigma.
DISTURBING AND POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE
Why Do My Viral Videos Keep Ending With 9/11 Footage?
digg.com

Waitin' On Sage

The Upside Of Waiting In Line

Waiting in line got a bad rap as an ever-present part of the Communist Soviet Union. It could turn out to be a big part of America's urban future, because some lines are actually useful.

Working As A Night Guard Rules And Other Facts From This Week

This week we learned working the night shift a museum isn't as bad as Ben Stiller makes it out to be, scientists want to regrow foreskins like salamander legs, and a nice man wants you to drink from a fake baby's head.
