I’m a woman and I think if you look closely her overall argument doesn’t hold up. Why are only women supposed to be in control of that line when boys are sexually assaulted, men in prison get sexually assaulted, and gay men get assaulted, too. According to Gadsby’s argument women like Betsey Devos get to decide the…

Despite the fact that no one understands their language, even members of other Andamanese groups, the Sentinelese have made it abundantly clear that they do not wish contact with the outside world.

They have survived for tens of thousands of years on their own. As best we know, they haven’t overpopulated their…

The census had to be done by observing them from a distance so it si only based on who they saw on the beach.. Some estimates say there could be 100 or more but really no one is sure.

The Sentinelese are so isolated, that even other groups in the Andamanese Islands do not understand their language ( this was discovered during attempts in the past to reach out to the them).

The person responsible for this mess _was_ brought to justice.

These people have lived on the island for many thousands of years with very little contact with outside groups , as evidenced by the fact that the language they speak is not intelligible to anyone else even surviving members of the other pre Neolithic groups ( Jarawa, Onge, Great Andamanese) that live in the…

Please recall that just a few months ago Stormy Daniels was arrested in a sting operation, then the charges were dropped, and Mueller reported attempts to frame him for sexual harrassment. While in other circumstances, I’d say the claim that Avenatti being framed up is bullshit, right now, I do think it is at least…

posting way too late., but ... was living in SF in the late 1980's, walking home near the panhandle/ entrance to Golden Gate park. I stopped to wait for the light to change so I could safely cross. A guy on a bicycle pulls up in the street beside me to wait for the light to change, too. I glance over. He looks really…

I agree with you, but didn’t want to start an argument with any potential posters last night by making a more forceful assertion, especially as the article was about something else, that yes on 3 won. But for the record, I am mystified that a political journalist would ever classify Massachusetts as “ socially…

“though the state generally skews towards socially conservative, if technically liberal, politics, it appears it is progressive enough to find the repeal of a basic civil protection appropriately grotesque.”

I believe they have better economic capacity . They are building up their infrastructure while ours is crumbling while we fight each other internally. In human rights, India and Nigeria recognize their problems and are trying to address then, while we are turning back the clock. Over time, as China’s middle class…

Eventually, yes. Their elite are very smart , highly motivated, and entrepreneurial. One would be a fool to under estimate them.

I doubt that. China will wipe us out  easily.

Some recent stories that have mostly flown under the radar, may be a set up for a very bad situation come next month. Pence said something about about China interfering with the elections? This is so our own government can screw us in the midterms.

Part of me wants to stay in the US and fight, but this isnt like the Viet Nam era. At that time, we had war and atrocities overseas, and civil disobedience here with the antiwar and civil right movements, but congress had liberal democrats, conservative democrats, liberal republicans, and conservative republicans.…

Do the polls note how many people they contacted, how they were contacted, and how many agreed to respond? If the nonresponders and the responders differ in statistically significant ways then the survey is biased, on eway r another. 

Dr Ford is a brave woman, Professor Hill was and is a brave woman. I couldn’t watch it, have felt ill the past week because even at age 54, this brings back painful memories that are hard to put into words.

In the late 1960's, I split open my chin at age 3 after falling out of tree onto some ice (because my 5 year old brother jumped on the branch until I fell). As the youngest of 6, my mother had honed her assessment skills on the older sibs. How much of an emergency was it, can it be managed at home? It was winter,…

Legal arguments aside, certain individuals might be able to sip a martini and drive without a problem, but in general it isn’t worth the risk . Similarly, while certain individuals might be able to vape and drive, there is more and more evidence that cannabis use impairs driving performance. But YMMV

We need to fight back. FIGHT BACK! We must have a women’s march ASAP but not so polite this time around. Let’s surround the Capital building while Congress is in session and the White house, and the Supreme Court , too. Let’s block every exit. Have volunteers available to move up and fill in the crowd as people get…
