“Slut-shaming” is exemplified by the double-standard that says that if a man has many sexual partners, he’s a hot stud, while if a woman does the same, she’s a filthy skank. It’s a heavily entrenched idea in our society, and it’s constantly and often subtly reinforced by both men and women. Even the word I just used, “stud,” demonstrates the problem. How many words can you think of that positively refer to a promiscuous man? How many, without qualifiers, can you think of for a woman? Few can say we’ve never been guilty of propagating this bias, oftentimes born out of jealousy, insecurity, and shame about our own desires.

“People like violence because it’s a great buzz.”
– Irvine Welsh
Scottish author Irvine Welsh is so cool that he had the audacity to stand up David Bowie, twice. Think about that for a second. Welshy has an imagination like a hydrogen bomb; He is the brilliant mind behind such classics as Trainspotting, Porno, Glue, Filth, The Acid House, and my personal favorite, Maribou Stork Nightmares. But he is not the bad-boy that his reputation might suggest. He’s smooth as a con-man – witty, wise, sarcastic, and cunning. Plus, he once survived falling down a fire escape… what’s not cool about that? He’s a great guy, an honorable man and it was a pleasure to interview him. His most recent book is a sweet collection of short stories, titled If You Liked School You’ll Love Work. Seriously, is there anything he can’t do?

T-Mobile, the scrappy fourth largest US cellphone carrier owned by Deutsche Telekom, may soon go the way of Cingular (remember them?). AT&T has submitted a $39 billion bid to buy the company and is seeking approval from the FCC and other regulatory agencies. The deal to acquire T-Mobile’s 37.3 million subscribers would catapult AT&T from its current #2 market-share position (behind Verizon) to #1, and leave the US with only three major national carriers. As a result, regulatory approval of the merger is not a foregone conclusion.
