It’s almost....almost....as if she is asking us to briefly consider whether our enemies are also human? NOPE NOPE WILL NOT STAND

I wonder if she’s sort of saying (poorly) that we should remember that ISIS is made up of human beings and not literal monsters? That they also have had moments of love and joy and acts of kindness in their lives (though they are acting like monsters now)?

The problem with this viewpoint and cartoon is that there is more than one type of censorship. The government can stop you from speaking, or it can step aside and let the mob do it.

Ageism is alive, well, and applauded. Self-examination is a good thing for everyone.

Whether I agree with her opinions or not, I think asking older women—especially one of Greer’s background— to sit down and let the young’uns take over is a bit much, too.
Let her talk and defend her views, or let her talk and change her views. If we just tell her to sit down and shut up, old lady with outdated views,…

You see, the “right to free speech” can mean a lot of things. There are some people, cartoon fans apparently, who believe that the free speech is really only a “right” in the sense that governments tend to say it is and therefore it can only ever be violated by means of government censorship.

The ship, named Stril Luna, was designed by Rolls-Royce, which equipped its bridge with a system that the luxury carmaker calls a “Unified Bridge,

I keep my work friends and my swinger friends separate for a reason.

Man, do I feel lucky that I worked for some amazing ladies....

That little bit about the “neutral proving ground” is really useful advice for anyone who’s dealing with a workplace where there is any sort of favoritism, nepotism, sexism or discrimination.

Marilyn was right!

He has to be noticeably taller than me. Like I’m 5’5” and I dated a guy who was 5'9' and when I reflect he seems short. So like 9'3" or something. 14'5" or 7'8"

Speaking of TMZ, and to everyone who celebrates. L’Shana Tova

I’m not sure I agree with his reasoning either, but his strategy worked. He got published. And we’re discussing the poem. And we’re discussing the political implications of his name. Which, if you believe his sincerity, was the whole point. And these discussions are kind of the whole point of getting published.

Newsflash - people have a really hard time being in long term monogamous relationships and society’s weird, unnecessary and CONSTANT shaking finger makes it harder for people to just be able to admit that to themselves, and find relationships that DO work for them. But SURPRISE when you guilt them into obeying…

I have a hard time imagining post-Hannah Montana Miley being a pawn of someone as vapid as Katy Perry. I could imagine Miley partying with Katy Perry, listening to Katy bitch about Taylor Swift while Miley makes vague sympathetic noises as she lights a one hitter.

Because firing medical staff any time they make a mistake makes people cover up their mistakes which leads to more harm. Unless there’s a trend of incompetence, firing people for even large mistakes, if they aren’t part of a pattern, results in people not reporting their errors. Also, often nurses are the front line…
