Bear with me here... can I request that Jez start doing profiles of non-problematic female CEOs/execs as well? I know that people like Sophia Amorouso, Tyler Haney, Miki Agrawal, Christene Barberich, Audrey Gelman, et al are independently controversial but we could all benefit from a more positive brand of feminism. E…

But as nerd culture continues to overlap with the mainstream, larping has gotten cooler

It’s hard to have a conversation/understanding with a child who is upset and crying. A four year old recognizes tone before content, and the girl thought she had done something wrong, or that she was in trouble. I think she cried because of the scolding tone of the woman’s first reaction, not because she thinks she’s…

Apparently, we Warren supporters are most likely to say we’ll do what we must in November. I’m with you, I’ve never quite understood the appeal of Bernie, though I don’t necessarily disagree with him ideologically. He’s shouty old man who hasn’t really done anything for the working class while being a senator for 30+…

Steff is the Patriots in 07. Perfect season and no Super Bowl to show for it. Those strawberry macarons were David Tyree’s helmet catch. Improbable.

The black man’s white neighbor does know what black men have gone through regarding marijuana arrests and the stigma that comes with it and you know what? He & she don’t give a damn. The minute this shit became legal you knew they were gonna profit off of it while we still sit in jail for minor offenses. Wake me when…

The paltry number of black kids that get into these schools can’t be corrected by simply devising new ways to admit more black kids without, first, reversing the underlying reason(s) resources are so unevenly distributed in black elementary schools.

According to my teen daughter, the Mexican teens say it, the Asian teens say it and the white teens say it.

Yeah that’s several heaping teaspoons of bullshit. Don’t explain a history of an immigrant population you have zero understanding of. Indian Americans overwhelming vote Democratic, all Indian American members currently in congress are Democrats, and the overwhelming majority of the over 80 candidates running in…

Table tennis is extremely different to most, more physical sports. I (a woman) rowed competitively; the standard distance in rowing is 2km. In virtually any level of the sport, there is about a 1 minute difference between how a woman/women’s crew will perform and how men will perform. If you look at the indoor record,…
