Second Amendment Steve's Falafel & Loofah Emporium

PETA does lie a whole lot about animal research though. I mean - be against it, be consistent, that's fine. But when they talk science it's just embarrassing.

I put PETA in the same category as Bill Maher - "Even during those times when I agree with you I wish you would shut the fuck up because your delivery does more harm than good"

That ain't about "left" though.

Don't forget though that most Trump voters were either women or POC.

I think we should spend more time addressing the fact that so many people did not find centrist Democrat policies compelling - in many cases saw the status quo as bad enough that they take a huge risk on a vote for shaking…

Yeah man I don't usually get to use a master's in neuroendocrinology on disqus ha ha)

Sure, of course there is a huge societal component. Like, there's no brain structure or gene that makes Caitlyn Jenner want to wear makeup and shiny dresses, that's her negotiating an internal feeling with societally-specific-typical-female behaviors. Your Sophia V example is like that I think- different cultures…

There's actually pretty good evidence regarding transgender people. The brain is a sexually dimorphic organ, just like the genitals. So there are structural differences between the brains of cis-straight men and cis-straight women, for example (bimodal distribution, but detectable differences across groups). Bed…

It's just a numbers thing, but still manages to sound crazy when you say it: the majority of Trump voters were either women or POC.

People don't vote when they don't think the candidates represent them or their interests.

You're right, I stand corrected, I missed Wisconsin. Stein's margin was not enough in any other state except those, from what I see. And in each of those states, Johnson won more than Stein. Also - in 2000, exit polls showed that Nader "took" equally from registered Democrats and Republicans.

The entire rest of the world is laughing at how butthurt the US establishment is by the fact that a party leader clicked a phishing link. US has interfered in at least 80 elections since WW2, and that doesn't even include overt coups to oust popular governments and install rightwing market-friendly regimes.

If every single Jill Stein voter went for Clinton, Clinton still would not have won. It's long past time to start blaming mainstream corporate Democrats for failing to make enough tangible, material difference in people's lives.

Chicago is one of those cities that was like designed by racists to fuck over non-whites, and it's still working that way. The very fucking brilliant Keeanga-Yamahtta Taylor from Princeton has written about this, www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/…

When you see your neighbors' children die, you will choose to not purchase that particular brand of baby food — the Free Market is wise above all.

I randomly watched this the other day - this is the 1918 speech to Ohio workers that got Eugene Debs thrown in prison for a decade. www.youtube.com/watch?v=zuG…

Good for them, but I don't want to live in a world in which the über-wealthy decide what public goods they want to support. Public schools should be well-resourced and should not need donations like this.

Also, didn't Madonna state that the accusations against Penn are not true? My understanding is that she's sick of that rumor. Specifically, she signed a sworn affidavit stating, "Sean has never struck me, ‘tied me up,’ or physically assaulted me, and any report to the contrary is completely outrageous, malicious,…

If the human species survives another 500 years, when they teach the collapse of capitalism they'll point to the moment when money went to making a movie about a horrifying, racist crisis WHILE THE CRISIS WAS STILL HAPPENING

"Silent Spring" was so good - it's so cool how they finally invented a plastic Slinky that was quiet on the stairs
