I know it’s not a particularly “internet” response, but my reaction is that this is all fine and unworthy of outrage. Sure, changing the title “Master” is kind of a dumb capitulation to historical ignorance, but if it makes some people happy it’s not a hill worth dying on ... same thing should be true about Franklin.

It’s the political equivalent of “hate the sin, not the sinner” — and just as much a load of bullshit.

“... where stupid people come in, give you all of their money, and then leave ...”

As a dad with two boys and a girl, I can tell you that this is easier said than done — mostly because the fiercest enforcers of gender expectations are all the other little girls and boys. It’s a bit heart-breaking to see our girl beginning to act (and it is clearly acting) in stereotypical ways because that’s what’s…

The irony will be when Canadians start talking about building a wall on their southern border.

So what you’re saying is that you found the droid you’ve been looking for.

Thank you for confirming that I’m not living in some weird alternate reality — my family just watched the original trilogy on the bonus discs on those limited edition DVDs this weekend. Heck, Stars Wars didn’t even have the episode number or sub-title.

The Oxford English Dictionary’s has two possibilities that make sense: the more common phrase “worth one’s salt” and an alternate definition for salt being “[t]aken as a type of a necessary adjunct to food, and hence as a symbol of hospitality.”

At birth, of course, this former fetus would be sent packing since its value drops precipitously once it goes from proto-person to person (unless it is born a corporation!).

So ... my takeaway is:

Perhaps men are perfectly capable of handling domestic shit if their spouse dies but women have been told that can’t be true and therefore don’t believe it? Sure, things will be scaled back — do children really need to eat every single day? — but no one is going to starve. Much.

This kid just stumbled into immortality — there will forevermore be a footnote in every exhibition catalog related to this work explaining the damage to the bottom right corner. He will be able to bring his grandchildren to a museum someday and say, “Look at page seven! That “clumsy idiot” was me ... your old man is…

It could be witches! Some Evil Witches!

In those cases, the police were forced to bring the injured to a hospital first before the jail would accept them. That probably saved some lives over the years.

Interestingly enough, during the Baltimore ugliness earlier this year I remember reading that the jails there would routinely refuse to accept clearly injured prisoners from the police — they obviously didn’t want to be holding the body at the end of the day and sharing responsibility for the deaths. I’m sure this…

I take it this shining example of journalism that fully contextualized the video and didn’t seek to sensationalize it out of context will be a cornerstone of the argument to open these closed archives?

Given that he’s been dealing with this crap (cf. Willow & Tara/Oz/Kennedy; Buffy & Angel/Spike; etc. ad naseum) since before many of those giving him it now were born, I am inclined to believe his statement.

I had the experience of getting cited during one of these "sting" operations — and I checked the guy's ID (I've always been a bit suspicious of whether he had two cards; they basically admitted they were fishing for a pretext to fine the grocery store and the whole thing seemed fishy). Fortunately, I was able to…
