Kelsey Grammer. He was still supporting Trump as of May of this year, said so in interviews.

It’s also possible - since she ordered from Domino’s - that the ad platform knows that she’s associated with you somehow and figured you might like disgusting non-pizza as well. Location data or social media posts might have shown that the two of you had interacted and that was enough to trigger it. I think we have to…

In all seriousness, it’s not unlikely Netflix and other services know what brands are mentioned in what episodes and is selling the viewing data for just this purpose. Which is, itself, really creepy.

This is depressing, especially since white ssupremacy is built on a foundation of misogyny an and obsession with fertility and reproduction - worrying that women of color are having too many children. white women aren’t having enough, and society should be structured so they have more. Honestly, I’m not aware of any…

Is that more chum bucket or feeding trough? Either way, it’s nauseating and everyone who consumes it (not sure if that’s “eating” or “drinking”) should feel bad about themselves.

This just illustrates the fundamental irrationality of school systems. Also, thinking back to my days in school, what I’ve seen with my kids in school, and my wife (a teacher of 20 years and a former Board of Education member) deals with, the average school administrator is pretty mediocre.

Our local HS had a walkout…

This is fine - tastes and your perspectives change over time, and you can’t always put yourself back in a mindset where something can be meaningful, or even listened to. While I still listen to a lot of the music I listened to in the 1980s and 1990s, the stuff that’s really stuck with me isn’t always the albums I…

Doesn’t the organization have a reputation for expressing pretty strong opinions about the future reproductive plans of those who go on the trips? I knew someone who went on a trip a few years back, and she mentioned that it came up a LOT. Having strong opinions about what people do with their bodies tends not to…

Fuck civility. Nobody in this administration*, none of the GOP members of Congress, and for that matter the Justices who are doing nothing using tortured justifications to seek specific outcomes and harm people deserve to go to dinner, go to a show, walk in a park, without someone they’ve hurt telling them exactly…

Security tip: never create a security or reporting method that encourages people to do things you never want them to do. That’s why the whole IRS bills going to collection scheme is so bad - the IRS could say “we will never call you about your taxes” and with collection agencies in the mix, that’s less true.

So now…

Every story I see about Greek life makes me increasingly happy about my decision to go to a college with none.

I’ve also explained to my kids that - due to the way liability works - I’ll be damned if they’re going to join a frat while I’m paying for college. They can major in absolutely anything they want, but I’m not…

We’re working to overcome this at home. We have three boys - a high schooler and two middle schoolers (fraternal twins).

The oldest (finally) and one of the twins are pretty good about going for extra help, the other twin hates it. Not because he thinks he’s too smart, he thinks he isn’t, and that he should be able to…

Actually, I’d like to see a competing parade consisting entirely of people in clown constumes with Trump-esque hair and orange makeup. He can’t stand ridicule, so making him feel small on his “big day” would really make him stew.

That would actually require a Supreme Court decision or a Constitutional amendment, since they’ve held that photography is expression, like speech. So you’re stuck with the intent mattering. There could be attempts to broaden out what “harassment” entails, and certainly you could argue that posting it in a forum that…

Releases for street interviews from news stations don’t require model releases. Commercial use - entertainment, for example, does. So does commercial photography (stock use, photos used for ads). The requirement for releases is actually very, very narrow. With photography, editorial and artistic use doesn’t require…

Photography is protected expression, in the US, just a form of speech. Therefore, intent matters, just like with libel, fraud, harassment, etc. It’s cold comfort to someone who’s been targeted, but it’s unlikely courts are going to go the other way on this.

My biggest issue here - aside from the hacker and the scumbags…

No. At least in the US, the picture taker always does, unless it’s work-for-hire. What a model release does is allow for commercial use. By the way, that doesn’t include all money-making enterprises. A published collection of photos, or a gallery exhibit (and gallery sales), selling to a newspaper or news agency…

He didn’t have to - he has what a lot of guys have - a sense of entitlement that allows him to act with impunity. Thinking about other people’s feelings and experiences was something he’s never needed to trouble himself with. Looking back on the sexist shit from the 1970s - the decade I grew up in - is just amazing.…

The federal government could likely tax the savings from the tax breaks, I suspect, or curtail some kinds of block grants or direct federal payments to states or cities that give breaks. They won’t, but it’s doable.

They don’t actually believe in consent at all. They don’t think consent in any way validates behavior between adults, because that would be admitting that consent is necessary before you touch someone.

All that matters is behavior that they would engage in vs. behavior they wouldn’t, at least that they wouldn’t admit…
