"When I see stories that say, 'Male birth control coming soon,' I just pull out my hair, because I know how long it's going to take," Diana Blithe, a leading researcher who's been studying male contraceptives since 2005, told Broadly.
But hormonal birth controls like NES/T, the product Blithe and her colleagues are studying at NIH, are the male contraceptive products furthest along in clinical trials and appear to have the best shot at reaching the market most quickly.

However, unlike other regressive activities that adults have engaged in, such as watching the "Twilight" films and reading "Harry Potter" books, the coloring book trend is all about the cultivation of calm; the blithe notion that one can eclipse stress with a crayon (or a sharp colored pencil, as the case may be).

Over the course of the 21st century, the conservative movement, and with it the Republican Party, has fallen ever more deeply under the sway of an illiberal and nihilistic populism — illiberal in its crude exploitation of religious, racial, and cultural divisions; nihilistic in its blithe indifference to governance and the established norms and institutions of representative self-government.

Headland, who created the series with Amy Poehler and the actress Natasha Lyonne (who also stars in the show and co-wrote several episodes), got her start as a playwright in the mid-2000s, when her main preoccupation was misbehavior—the spiky words and blithe, callous actions that lead people to hurt others and resent themselves, the little, daily snips and slights that we stay up at night replaying in our heads, wondering what we might have done differently.
