If you ever feel like watching Antiques Roadshow I'm pretty sure it's on one of the streaming services for free. It is PBS after all, they don't have advertising money to lose.

I remember that one! I felt so bad/happy for that guy.

I heard someone use "condesplaining" a while back (condescendingly explain, she condescendingly explains, just in case the inflection isn't coming through in print). I think that captures it fairly well.

Well damn.

They probably should have watched more Sesame Street as children.

"The only position for women in SNCC is prone." That one's burned into my memory, apparently.

It's not just them, it's almost everyone reporting on this case. I guess that's one result of de-professionalizing journalism, you no longer have journalists who are lay experts in law, medicine, etc.

If it makes you feel better, IIRC more while more votes were cast American Idol never restricted voting multiple times. So the comparison is utterly meaningless.

I wouldn't base your opinion of the judge on the AV Club's reporting. They haven't been very accurate overall, even misreporting from TMZ (not exactly legal scholars themselves).

The portion you quoted doesn't seem to include sex as a protected class. Was the statute extended at a later point?

My mom and grandma told me that this was because ladies did not like to disclose their measurements; hence, other people weren't able to learn anything about their absolute size from the size of their clothing.

The luxurious seats are stuffed with eagle down, and the dashboard laced with the beaks of 1000 eagles. Also there are some eagles under the floorboards.

Ah, that explains why this just came in Minnesota, where this is usually a non-issue. (Sexuality and gender identity have been part of our state civil right's law since the 90s.)

Sure, the exact same false claim which was made about England and France is now being made about Belgium, so it must be true! Third time's the charm, right?

Did you read the snopes piece? The headline mentions sharia but it covers your version of the myth as well.

Where were you for all of the 90s?

In countries throughout europe, muslim neighborhoods are virtual no-go for police.

Absolutely incorrect - most of the founding fathers were not very religious at all. They may have been church members, but that was nearly universal at the time. Very few of the founding fathers held strong religious views and a number were quite anti-clerical.
