Respectfully, you’re incredibly wrong. That silly font is the best thing about the New Yorker.

I think if they choose to use “pc” for percent when there is a perfectly good and clear “%” symbol for that purpose, then WE are not the dumb ones. :-)

Sales of baking tools such as spoons and spatulas are up 50pc and 42pc, respectively, over the past week, while Paul Hollywood cookie cutters are up 50pc, and sales of cookbooks and cake stands have risen 18pc, the retailer said.

But, as you mention here, makeup (these days especially) is SO NOT ABOUT DUDES.

I’m concerned that some young, impressionable kids are going to feel like this gives them carte blanche to clog their arteries, get diabetes, and destroy the aesthetic integrity of our public spaces.

I’m not sure that getting groped at shows has ever NOT been a concern, though.

Exactly, yes!

Yeah. It’s more than a little disturbing that so many people on the left don’t fucking get this. They’re just straight-up buying all the right-wing propaganda about soft liberal hippies wanting to hold hands to solve problems. Nonviolence is not done out of a desire to be nice to people who want to harm others. It’s…

This is not about gentle reasoning, and it is not about being nicer to Nazis. It’s a strategy that actually works in the long-term. Punching Nazis makes it easier for them to recruit other lonely, angry proto-bigots to their cause.

Bee’s position is another milquetoast “fight Nazis with love / the left is as bad as the right” take.

That wouldn’t surprise me at all, actually. Parents don’t always have close relationships with their kids. In fact, social isolation is one of the things that seems to be a major risk factor for people getting drawn into these kinds of hate communities.

It really is! (Fair warning—watching all 6 in a row amounts to like an hour, but I found it very worthwhile!)

Sure thing!

Tons of white people will pretend this is a small percentage of them but it REALLY says something that these people aren’t even hiding their identities. They know they won’t be shunned by their friends or neighbors or face repercussions at work.

I think you can still find audio of it if you Google around. Let me assure you, it is WORTH LISTENING TO. Gene Simmons is a hateful, insecure child.

Good for you!

Exactly. They exploit the fact that women are socialized to be deferential, and are also likely to be shocked into not doing anything and/or afraid of the situation escalating.

Hahahah, amazing.

Ugh, I hate that this experience is so common. I wish I’d punched the guy in the face—I was totally paralyzed.
