- Pension Reform
- Things that look like guns
- The 49ers
- LOLcats
- Humor that isn't empowering
- Sex that doesn't offend the Midwest
- Things that are labeled "organic," but aren't organic enough for us
- Books: We all know they're going to die eventually anyway
- Intolerence
- Straight white guys
- Gendered pronouns
- Coffee beans without a romantic origin story
