Mostly from The Guardian Australia. I don't mind the SMH, but the Australian is utter poison - and is the only paper that is left in the break room anymore.

The missing missing reasons for child estrangement that parents won't acknowledge.
Basically, the way that estranged parents talk about the estrangement is full of hazy references to situations that are never fully explained that are more about the way the parent feels and less about the part the parent played in the estrangement...


Medium: The Ugly Truth About Guns
In a way, guns are fun the way tranquilizers are fun. They make the anxiety go away.
