Strategy = tone... by which logic, no one is allowed to evaluate activism for effectiveness, because the righteousness of it justifies the lack of successful outcome.

It’s not a tone argument, it’s a critique of strategy. Breaking windows might be the best option in some cases, just seems like it wasn’t for this one. The guy lost his job and didn’t even get Yale to take responsibility for causing him pain. Maybe the window is gone and that’s all he wanted and he’s satisfied. I…

Yale’s failure to address the actual image is gross, but also, there are better ways to bring attention to that kind of thing than smashing it. What if he had taped up a big piece of paper over it demanding Yale take it down because it was appalling? Maybe less direct results, but potentially greater accountability. I…

They are the best dancers in the world.

I just want it to be somewhere on record that Colin Powell and Condoleeza Rice sent classified emails on unsecure servers too.

Has Obama’s pet cause been racial justice?

It is very weird to read about your college classmate referred to on the internet as “your impossibly cool dad.”

But what is interesting about Hillary telling Donald Trump to delete his twitter account?

I’m old, I’m not on twitter, and I don’t get it. Can someone explain? Much obliged.

Quite possible.

But it’s such a beautiful image.

I was reading an article about Hamilton where they were lauding its feminism and how it gives women “equal time.”

Naked women with seductively arched backs are freer. Like lions.

Only once in my life have I ever heard a female voice coming from the cockpit of a commercial flight.

Exactly my thought. It sounds great and I’m all for good science education, but it also reminded me of people that require women seeking abortions to get an ultrasound.

Yes I think it’s a strategic choice as often as a timid one. And like the author said, it allows people who wouldn’t be otherwise listened to to get a word in and have it more likely to be listened to.

EXACTLY.

But in the wise words of the Notorious RBG, equality will be when the cabinet [Court] is 100% women, just like it was 100% men for two centuries.

Yeah I kind of agree with you, and in general our media/public discourse could do a lot more ignoring of idiot things. But an actual champion of women’s rights would have put it in the context of how much women’s are already under attack, currently, in so many ways, and how this is an important issue in the other…

I see all kinds of dudes wearing pointless hats like that.
