I don’t see how you can say that standards have been raised if the film industry continues to fail the test for the standard in question. But more the point I think you’re actually getting at. Yes, we want women as three dimensional characters, heroes and leads, and over-all wonderful roles, not just two girlfriends…

But what happens when teams deal with politicians directly and avoid public votes? $400 million was allocated to the Braves’ new stadium by Cobb County, after county commissioners avoided public referendum, silenced opposing arguments, and made themselves the only ones allowed to have a voice.

Yes, but what about when they subvert the will of the voters (Minnesota).

“But rather than letting perfect be the enemy of good, let’s acknowledge that this is at least a step in the right direction.”

Am a dude. And I co-sign this complaint. If my girl is gettin’ done for a thing, then this boy is dressing up to quietly match her level of style.

i’m annoyed with this. not really that they endorsed HRC- but they endorsed anyone in the primary. why bother? both bernie and HRC will be good for planned parenthood. why not wait until the general election and endorse the dem and we can all get behind it? this is just pissing off donors and causing infighting

Score another point for trivium and quadrivium.

I am a teacher at a small private school and I’m really concerned with the focus on STEM, while there’s a complete apathy towards humanities/liberal arts. I’m a social studies teacher and I am constantly harping on how important it is for kids to learn their history, but in the education world, the hot topic right now…

Math is stupidly easy for me, but make me write a page long essay and I struggle to go past a paragraph. Some people are good for some things, some people are good for others, and almost all are needed in some way. I’m against this idea that engineering fields are “harder".

I know what you mean. While I would never argue that STEM is not important, language is also vital. Why can’t we agree that STEM, arts, and language are important? Even STEM careers require reading/writing, and if you cannot speak articulately and present arguments logically, you won’t get through a job interview. Not…

The need for STEM jobs has also been greatly exaggerated, so all these kids thinking they’re guaranteed a job when they graduate are in for a surprise.

John Adams: “I must study politics and war, that my sons may have the liberty to study mathematics and philosophy, natural history and naval architecture, in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, tapestry, and porcelain.”

The most baffling part about the Manziel videos, especially with his “videos can be old” defense, is that the elements in the video narrow down the possible date pretty quickly. He’s fucking dabbing and listening to Future. In the next one, he’s probably going to be toting a Grey Goose bottle while talking about where…

Thank you for pointing this out! Look at Josh Gordon from the Browns, smh.

Search your feelings. You know it to be true.

This may sound crazy and off topic, but can we get some sort of score tracker on DS? Just so we don't have to leave the site and go to the World Wide Leader for final scores.

And of course now I remember how women are usually let in pain for longer or told that they are over reacting 70% longer tan males.

A lot of elements of this story seem unbelievable: For example, Mike Pettine is STILL coaching the Browns?

Keep the Rams in STL
