.Curious to see if his position on charter schools is pushed. He’s obviously capable of advocating for plenty of other progressive policies—his baby bond plan is actually p good, from the looks of it—but it’s frustrating that he has these glaring blind spots that are hard to ignore.

I really don’t care if he’s kissing men or women, but kissing up to the charter school industry is a problem. On matters of Education, he’s no better than Betsy DeVos.

Because hiding a book, that I looked for hours to find because I thought I’d lost my mind in misplacing it, instead of having a discussion about what in the book made me sad or my isolation and loneliness was clearly the best option to save me life. /s

Right? Making a little green backpack harness to stash books for some sky reading? That’s so damn endearing!

This clickbait title has gone too far. I thought Disney was going to put out ANOTHER live action Beauty and the Beast where Momoa was going to play Gaston.

When I hear actors tell these “behind-the-scenes endearing” stories that are actually terrible about their costars, I like to believe it’s purposeful and they’re finally taking their revenge with a smile, faking cluelessness with a morning talk show host.

Because the context of the song has changed with the times. It’s old context is irrelevant now. Those social norms of the 1950's are gone and forgotten by everyone accept aficionados of the 1950's. So now the meaning of the song has changed. Its like how language changes and the people who feel the need to defend the…

The parents are probably the ones who alerted the NCAA.

“Theatre of poverty" is an artful and fitting description

It’s an attempt to move the goalposts.

Underwear sucks at communicating consent because rapists can’t know what underwear you’re wearing until they’re already raping you.

People/culture do stupid stuff that doesn’t benefit them all the time, so that’s no standard. Which was really my point. There is some evidence of unassisted births being a thing in certain cultures, but that doesn’t make it a better system. The fairly object standard of child mortality rates makes that pretty clear.

The !Kung of Southern Africa supposedly do, and maybe some other hunter-gatherer societies? It’s been a while since I read about this stuff, so grain of salt and all that.

Home birth can be great for some women, but the fact that this group deletes any advise that counters their beliefs and doesn’t make room for other treatment options makes them a cult, and a very dangerous one at that.

Do you really believe that the niche bad actors you correctly identify — i.e. members of law enforcement and the military who have adopted the Punisher logo in a misguided attempt to justify innate tendencies towards extrajudicial violence — would behave any differently in the absence of the symbol?

Literally everyone deserves law and due process.

Unfortunately there is a large contingent of people in law enforcement and/or far right groups who totally missed the point of the character. It’s the same deal as people who love Fight Club because they think it presents an ideal form of masculinity.

Nope. As long as war crimes exist, it’s fair to attack certain people who willingly adopt the symbol of a murderous psychopath.

(not to say it wasn’t well made show. i am especially thankful for the choice to make castle’s story about the crime that was done to him and his reaction to it instead of about vigilante justice against random crime...but i avoided it for far longer than the other marvel shows, because i expected it to be a…

“You realize the series is primarily about PTSD and the corruption of the military-industrial complex”

That’s the biggest problem with the show. It suggests that the problems of military culture come from the influence of bad-apple spooks who can be identified by their lack of honor and masculinity. It suggests that if…
