Heh, no, in sports broadcasting. Are embassies/consulates in the US being inundated by drunken Canadians this week?

So originally your complaint was that the people involved don't know about science, now you admit that they do know about science (since you actually call them "scientists") but don't really care about it. I'm sure you have proof to back up your assertion that everyone listed has done shoddy research and only cares…

Oh, I agree. Not having seen the whole Q&A, I don't know what the context for the comment was or if Moss expanded on it or anything, but on the face of it it's definitely a weird thing to say about The Handmaid's Tale, which is just about as feminist a tract as you'll find.

All I can say is thank fuck the Habs are out; them and Ottawa and Toronto all being in it is making work life a living hell. I assume the Leafs will go next, but then again they weren't supposed to make it this far.

Well, fair play, I can't speak to what 1970s NYC was like, not having been there. But I have certainly encountered "I've got mine and so can you" outside of the "Reagan's America" milieu; my first encounter with it was a dentist in small-town Ontario and I think it exists in lots of other places besides. And, not to…

Ha! Fair enough.

It's indicative once again of how he only pays attention to the media and its superficial milestones. I have to assume most of the men who've occupied the Oval Office recently looked at the 100 days marker, rolled their eyes, and got on with the job. But a man whose entire knowledge of government comes from the press…

Huh, I don't think I realized he wasn't elected to national office yet. I'm glad to know he's as impressive in person as he is online.

I don't. I see Peggy as turning out to be one of those conservatives who say "I made it on my own, why can't you?" She clawed her way to the position she holds at the end of the series through a combination of hard work and good fortune (being naturally talented; having Don as a mentor, however horrible he might have…

It's only capitalized when preceded by a name, right? Like "Bush Administration" "Obama Administration." I thought. Maybe that's a different style guide.

Among the people who organized and took part today:
Dr. Jonathan Foley, Executive Director, California Academy of Sciences
Dr. Caroline Solomon, Professor of Biology, Gallaudet University
Megan Smith, Former U.S. Chief Technology Officer
Dr. Jessica Ware, Associate Professor of Evolutionary Biology, Rutgers University…

Yeah, he's one of the ones I was thinking of when I responded to you.

It's one tool in the toolbox. The problem lies in thinking that that one tool can build the house all by itself.

Nobody likes Milhouse!

I know about HPV. I was discussing cancer in toto.

I'd agree that Peggy doesn't see herself as a feminist, though. The character is very much a feminist one, but Peggy wouldn't see herself as part of a movement or care much about the struggles of other women. She'd assume all women could get where she did if they just tried hard enough.

Peggy would reject the label entirely, for sure. She's a feminist character, but not a feminist person.

So not entirely pie-in-the-sky, but nearly so. I'm still keeping it for one of my 3 wishes if I ever run across a genie.

I recognize that this wish has no relation to how the disease behaves in the real world, but: cancer. Because fuck cancer.

I know, I'm waiting for the AVC's staunchest assholes to come along and lecture us all about how Dr. Bunsen Honeydew is the wrong face to put on this fight.
