The game led me to a nude beach this weekend, where a naked man wanted to show me his weedle.

I just want to add that it isn’t #BlackLivesMatter activists who are minimizing police violence against white victims. See some of the responses to the murder of the white teen Zachary Hammond as an example, where black activists were outraged and the #WhiteLivesMatter crowd was fairly silent.

This is an example of a student assuming to know what is best for everyone else (as mentioned in the article).

We also get worse evals in classes on diversity-related topics.

I’ve heard from teens and those who work with teens that the able-bodied and neurotypical kids are nicer to the kids with disabilities these days. Like, they want to be their friend and build them up. This is anecdotal based on my city, of course, but I like to think that some of the anti-bullying campaigns have been…

I’m a former student activist (in an era before trigger warnings) and now an adjunct professor. This is probably the best article on the new “culture wars” I’ve read. Donna Zuckerberg understands that students and contingent faculty are those with little power, and the university benefits if we are in conflict with…

The question we’re all here for.

Are roombas hardy? I have parrots that throw pellet crumbs on the floor all day, and I’d love an automated vacuum cleaner, but I worry it would be overburdened by too much bird kibble.

I agree the context is different, but I think we should take care to use more precise language than what we get through the sensational media headlines. I find “mass shooting” describes any incident where a group or individuals shoot a number of non-combatant people. I don’t think that the term specifies whether or…

There were a number of massacres of Indians outside of the context of battle.

Battle of Little Bighorn may not be the best example, but there are other examples of US soldiers mass killing peaceful Indian men, women, and children outside the context of a battle. The Sand Creek and Blood Island massacres are two examples.

Transgender people don’t change their gender day-to-day based on feelings or moods.

How about a gender-neutral term for aunt/uncle?

I think the larges may have gone first because they are more affordable to individual players now.

This post made the front page of Jezebel, so I’m sure many would appreciate if you edited the spoiler out of the article title.

I got curious about teacup pigs and I just read on The Dodo that teacup pigs are actually underfed baby pot-belly pigs. Poor pigs!

I’ve only been around the “leftist scene” for a decade or so, but I’ve already seen all three. My instinct is to assume a Cointelpro type situation, but I know there are also asshole activists and vulnerable kids ready to flip.

Sadly, both are plausible explanations.

I don’t think having multiple cell phones incriminating in itself, as it is pretty standard for social workers.

Marriage isn’t legally available to everyone.
