...Ladies prefer to keep silent while they queue up all their lives at public toilets, missing the show after [intermission], doing kung-fu stances to pee because the seat cover is too filthy," says Jack Sim, president of the World Toilet Organization (WTO), a global body with representation from 42 member countries, which advocates for better public sanitation practices around the world. "We don't talk about [public restrooms]. And what we don't discuss, we can't improve...
...word, however, was guy. Like many revolutions, this one liberated the men first. The shows focused on male antiheroes and their loud, angsty Y-chromosome dramas: Tony, The Shield's Vic Mackey, Rescue Me's Tommy Gavin, Dexter's serial killer Dexter Morgan, Deadwood's Al Swearengen, 24's Jack Bauer.

Democrats are holding the Senate in session throughout the night because Republicans are using a filibuster to prevent a simple majority from bringing the measure to a vote...
