Have you told this to your boss? Or the HR department? You should be very scared of this man. If he has a history of violence, especially violence against women, and you're in his crosshairs, then you are in danger. Seriously. Talk to someone, tell people about this creepy guy.

What is a bootybroker? Is that a pimp?

RESTRAINING ORDER STAT.

You might want to mention this story to your uncle and your dad someday. That way, the next time something like this happens (and there will be a next time. There always is.), they'll be less inclined to dismiss your spidey senses. Our bodies are trained to react to predators—rabbits are afraid of foxes even if…

You clearly have no idea how stalking and the escalation of violence against women works. This is classic proto-stalker behavior. This is the kind of behavior that people look at after a man kills a woman on the street, and then everyone says, "She should have known that he was dangerous/going to kill her. Just look…

It's not stupid, as others have said. The first few years (including hours) of a baby's life has a surprisingly large impact on its development. But a few years ago an NFL player, Kevin Everett, was injured during a game, and broke his neck. It was the kind of injury that causes almost full body paralysis. The…

The vikings weren't all that violent. No more violent than any other group living in Europe at the same time. The idea that they were super violent is largely myth. The whole vikings-going-raping-and-pillaging thing isn't really true (at least, they weren't more prone to rape-and-pillage than any other European…

There used to be a soap store around the corner from my partner's work. The owner would give him soap for free all the time (small businesses, tit-for-tat type thing). He had grass scented soap, which was ok, but nothing was as awesome as dirt scented soap. It was so awesome, it smelled like gardening in the spring.…

Yeah, and not all people who have these kinds of dogs are breeding them. My partner's friends got a rescue dog and didn't bob the tail because that's barbaric and cruel. But now the dog's tail is always sore and hurt and bleeding. It's not that it needs to be kept infection-free (that that's true), it's that humans…

Plus he publicly said he wasn't going to mock Britney Spears when she was having her very public, very openly mocked breakdown a few years ago. Since he's struggled with alcoholism and stuff, he didn't feel right mocking her when she was hitting bottom so publicly and so painfully. I thought that was enormously classy…

Some of those pictures are clearly of teenagers. They are going to get in trouble for having child porn on their site. I hope they go to jail.

I actually don't think that most people know this. Actually, I think very, very few people know this.

I still remember when I was a kid, maybe 15 years ago, asking my father who Yoko Ono was (she was on TV and I didn't recognize her, and was just getting to the point where I generally recognized people on TV). He said, "She's the woman who broke up the Beatles."

Yeah, I'm sure that $100,000 fine will cover the costs of fixing the mess.

I think that there were a lot of women doing a lot of stuff in the 60s and (especially) 70s. Those decades were kind of big for important non-white non-men.

You're making a lot of assumptions: that men hunted, that only men hunted, that hunting allows someone to observe the gait of the creature depicted more than someone observing the hunt, that hunting is the only way to see something to paint it. It doesn't make sense at all.

Other thinking thoughtful questions that Scalia has posted on his livejournal in the past few years:

"Chivalry arose as a response to the violence and barbarism of the Middle Ages."

Did you read the article? Like, literally. Because the article literally says, and I quote, "It is not "chivalrous" to open the door for someone, carry their groceries, or pay for their dinner if you invited them to dine. It is polite."

Did anyone else notice that the excerpted quotation from the scientist assumes that the prehistoric artist is a man? "...the prehistoric man, with a primitive culture and artistic techniques, would work with a much greater rate of error than his later counterparts. Prehistoric men illustrated the walking..."
