I find this take to be offensive bullshit. I know some parents whose kids like Andrew Tate. These people are very involved in their kids lives, and do the best they can to teach their kids good values. They don’t like Andrew Tate any more than you do. The problem is that a certain number of impressionable kids are…

I watched to the videos too, and found them very tongue in cheek.

I really feel we’re in the dark days of obesity medicine. I’m obese. I have been since I was four years old. I put myself on my first diet: I was 7. I was in a medically supervised weight management program at 11. Weight Watchers at 14. Atkins at 15. I have never known a conscious moment in which food and my body were…

Easy solve. Bring your gun. Fear for you life. Stand your ground.

First, did Stanford ever ask what this football player was doing in public? Why wasn’t he home studying or in class? If he’d been where he was supposed to be, instead of out with his friends, he wouldn’t have gotten coffee spilled on him. Assaults never happen at home or in class, and he should have known that.

I’m with you, he was probably asking for it. I mean, he probably had on really spillworthy clothing.

MAGA is a terrorist movement and at least should be labelled as such

Wow that is a name I have not heard in a loooong time. I had to take a lab animals class as part of my major and remember the instructor explaining how the entire state university we were at nearly lost accreditation. A visiting researcher had been running an experiment with rabbits in another department and hadn’t…

When did you serve on the IACUC? This was almost 20 years ago and I think it’s really possible things have changed since then. FWIW I agree with you that by today’s standards this would jeopardize his funding, his publications, and his career as a whole. I have a coworker who got a bigger punishment than Oz for…

I got Twitter banned for a few days for saying something similar about TFG.

I think the phrasing was “I’d order Pay-Per-View to watch him fall out of a helicopter, onto another helicopter.” 

I know the feeling, off and on.  I left academia after 20 years, from a tenured position, to go to a government research lab.  A little less pressure to publish and pull in grant money, but comparable job security.

And we can’t fathom how Ted Cruz stands upright without a spine, but here we are.  

THIS.
(Or as if those crap wages are all that they, or their job is worth in this economy. Because sooooo many of those jobs become pretty da*n essential the second they are not being done. See: 2020...)

Yep. I’m not going to talk tough here, because I don’t know what I’d do in the same situation, and ultimately I’m not a very brave person. But if that were my daughter, it is distinctly possible that I’d be spending the rest of my life in prison for 1 or 2 murders.

I really enjoy the Dublin detective series by Tana French. I think about how many people would be shot if it the books were set in the US. I think there was 1 shooting in the entire books which are all about investigating murders. The whole attitude is different. I found it striking in the same way you did the book…

I am gay now, but Straight Me™ would have let this boy ruin my liiiiiife.

Either you get it or you don’t. Unfortunately, I love men with mediocre tattoos and would climb him like a tree. 

“Responsibility is one of God’s greatest gifts to mankind, and men must be held responsible for their actions, except for rape. That’s totally the chick’s fault.” - Sen. Josh Hawley

One thing that happened between the two censuses was a big rise in the popularity of DNA ancestry services. I wonder how many whiter than white respondents now feel “multicultural” because they discovered they’re 1/150,000,000,000th Navajo?

They say it’s a dating show, but once you get there they ship you off to Portugal to fight Napoleon.
