Afghanistan isn't culturally Arabic, so I don't know what relevance this question about Arabic cultural sensibilities has to do with this case.

I feel like half of all the grief I see on Twitter is conflicts between people with differing ideas about what Twitter is for. Somebody always wants to tell Keith Law or whomever that they don't want to read about his politics or what kind of pie he likes or what he thought of some new movie, because they think…
To ask a dumb question I can't seem to find answered elsewhere, what's the purpose of the helium? Does breathing a helium-oxygen mix prevent the bends?
Also, everybody looks uncomfortable, scrunching their shoulders up because they're too close together. Why not do this in three or four rows to get everyone in the shot, so nobody is crushed together and so you can actually see people's faces?
I can't believe how utterly uncritical this interview is. I hope nobody strained a muscle tossing all these softballs.
I don't think that Plato was the first or only advocate for gender equality. The number of written documents that have survived for more than 2000 years are small and overwhelmingly written by men, so it's not surprising that some of the earliest recorded feminist advocacy would be from men. I would assume lots of…
If you ignore that modern Maya populations suffer from hideously high malnutrition and child mortality rates, you could draw that conclusion. I think those problems have less to do with vegan/non-vegan diets as much as abject poverty, but the Maya are a weird population of people to hold up as a population to emulate…

If you look at many of those Mayans today, they are horribly malnourished and have enormously high child mortality rates. So, yeah.
Wikipedia says Plato was an early advocate for complete social and political equality for women. Unfortunately, few of the remaining classical texts were written by women, and it's hard to identify early feminists. I don't know Sappho's work well enough to say whether she expressly embraced something like feminism.
you can lead a horse to water but sometimes that horse will continue to think straight-up insults are shade.
The markings on this ship match those of one that blasted its way out of Mos Eisley.
I read two things into it: the author may have failed to record the interview (which is really a must in this kind of story, for exactly this reason), and the Kardashians have a symbiotic relationship with tabloids. US Weekly doesn't want to be cut out of their loop and see scoops go to their competitors.
California has more dairy cows than any other state in the union, with more than 1.7M (2nd place Wisconsin has 1.2M). Each dairy cow drinks 30-50 gallons per day. Which means California dairy cows drink something like 18 billion gallons of water every year. Dairy farming is the largest single sector of California's…
There are so many climate change feedback loops that will only amplify the problem: glacial melting allows for more seawater and ground water infiltration that accelerates further melting in Antarctica and Greenland; loss of sea ice cap increases dark seawater surface area and thus increases solar gain; melting…
First off, set 18 almonds next to an apple and tell me which is bigger and which weighs more.
Yes, I don't understand how anyone thinks that California's water problems get fixed without substantially revisiting how its agricultural system works. I love almonds, for instance, but the price I get charged for them in no way reflects the real cost of raising almonds in California because the water for the groves…
It was as if thousands of novels, comic books, and video games cried out in terror, and then were suddenly silenced.
