I think the key difference is she’s an atheist who thinks you must believe and act exactly the same as her. So the shtick with the NPNS is that they believe that all Muslim women are effectively slaves to patriarchy with no choice about whether they should wear a hijab or not. The thing is they would never bother to…

Looking at her writings though, I doubt she identifies as a progressive. She’s a secular humanist - she believes there is no such thing as cultural relativism and that anyone who has religious beliefs is an ignorant savage. She’s also a research fellow for the French organization NPNS, which is the arch-conservative,…

You know they have a now super-powered diamondback waiting in the wings, so they could potentially make the exact same mistake as last season all over again.

Counterpoint: How much better off would we have been if to push Obama out of office, Trump would have had to fight him on top of some waterfall? Odds are Trump would have tripped over his diaper and then drowned trying to get out of a knee deep pool of water.

Ehhh Spring break started this afternoon and campus was 90% clear of students this morning so we’re going to have reschedule the riot for about 10 days and then it’s just going to be some super nerdy kids being slightly passive aggressive to authority figures

In 2012/13 they changed how they do the test. It used to be done through either sampling mtDNA or the Y Chromosome but both of those methods cut out half of your ancestry.

I’m an anthropologist and I’m thinking of doing pretty much the same thing - the problem is we don’t get issues of representations and the media until a couple of weeks after, but I use it to get them to start thinking about it.

I am totally making seeing it an extra-credit assignment for my Intro class. I have no idea what the assignment actually will be, but you know I’ll do what I can to help drive that box office....

Time should now name Obama person of the year, just to see if they can make Der Mango Führer have rage stroke, ending our collective nightmare.

Is there some award for most elaborate suicide? ....turns out that’s what the Darwin Award is in trumps America

Godell has overseen the largest revenue growth of any US sports league ever. Since he was hired in 2006 the NFL went from making $6 billion s year to $14 billion. He also negotiated the worst collective bargaining agreement for players in US professional sports. Revenue may be down this year but it doesn’t erase the…

Seriously if Lena Dunham had been born with a dick, she’d be Eric Trump; there’s no feminism there at all, just a toxic blend of white privilege, overt racism, classism.

Lena Dunham is plotting to get rid of white privilege by single handedly using it all up

A couple of the new gods were super into Earth history. That one is named Vykin and he has a thing for the Old West - he’s one of the Forever People. One of Darkseid’s minions is named called Kanto and likes to dress like he’s from the Italian Renaissance.

It’s exactly how they do it - it’s all arranged through law offices so that it becomes protected by by attorney-client privilege. The New Yorker Farrow article on the army of spies has a good break down of how it works. It creates some potential problems for the lawyers since they are supposed to assure that all of…

Glue and synthetic feathers?

This is the school that just created a required course for all students in Patriotism where all students have to learn how to parade march, map reading, rifle marksmanship, rope systems, knots, and rappelling; clearing your browser of the gay stuff, proper Nazi salute decorum, blaming others for your problems, and…
