I think she is suggesting that evacuating Houston during Rita was a nightmare and ultimately found to have been unnecessary. Even if you use counterfluence on the highways, you are evacuating 4 million people up I35. At some point, the hurricane overtakes the huge caravan evacuating, and it becomes its own emergency.…

Because the flooding is unprecedented and unpredicted, and this nursing home had never flooded before. I get it is horrifying. But this storm is worse than anything we have had since Galveston at the turn of the last century. And that storm, itself, was probably not as bad as this one. They just didn’t have a sea wall…

The state and local governments are responsible for making decisions about evacuations and how to advise residents. FEMA handles the federal response. That’s the division of responsibility. Lots of the local governments (with the notable exception of Rockport) were telling people to use their best judgement. Very…

Yes, when Houston evacuated for Rita, it was a total cluster fuck. So it’s dicey at best to decide whether or not to evacuate America’s 4th largest city.

This level of flooding was unexpected and unprecedented. The decision was made not to evacuate this nursing home because it had never flooded before and wasn’t expected to. Hindsight is 20/20 of course. So glad they got them out as quickly as they did.

“Wonder Woman can be fun, and we can still criticize it for being still ‘hot lady in less clothing doing action with maybe less character than we’d like’.”

Word. It’s all about breadth of characters:^) We are a fucking tapestry of humanity. We need all the portrayals.

But the contrast to your point about him doing films with non-sexualized women leads/heroes is, why do we need to de-sex a woman hero for it to be a feminist portayal? Of course, it’s great for the character to have agency and for the sex with a male character to not be exploitative or for the purpose of cheap…

James Cameron, a master of welding brass tits on the armor, can get off my lawn now and get back to work on that new Terminator movie. Just make the pretty pictures. Nobody actually needs your concern-trolling feminism, JC.

That’s not circumcision. That’s malpractice.

Actually, I’m on record wholeheartedly defending newborn male circumcision. (So much less traumatic than having to be circumcized later in life for medical reasons, as my father experienced.)

Removal of the entire penis isn’t circumcision, it’s mutilation. Now circumcision, on the other hand, has a lot of health benefits that you just don’t seem to want to look into.

Since you are dedicated to making this post about something completely unrelated to the article, I’d like to mention, I subjected my son to non-consensual circumcision when he was a week old. Would make the same decision over and over again, everyday. It was a decision made for health reasons, and I feel awesome about…

This article is not about your penis. Not everything circles back to it, no matter how much penus-havers need to make it about that. This is a DIFFERENT, UNRELATED ISSUE. Not everything is about dicks.

As long they also include the introduction of bathroom bills in state legislatures in that definition of “economic terrorism.”

I was in Austin too! It was an unforgettable experience. Here are a few of the great signs I saw. My favorite was the little girl in front of me at the intersection of Lavaca and 11th. That whole tableau with the women arm-in-arm beside her and the American flag flowing gave me the feels real hard when I was there.

My first thought on seeing this jacket.

Looks like Tilda has her receipts in order.

All the stars for reminding me of Fear of a Black Hat.

Wow, excuse me for not spell-checking on an on-the-fly response. Your response is surprisingly hostile. Did I run over your dog or something?
