“Quindar Tones” sounds like the stage name of a really pretentious Finnish DJ.

May Piers Morgan mysteriously fall victim to those exact same ailments

A friend of a friend knew her at Northwestern. She was even in her sorority!

Even if it’s a photo-op, she does beneficial work by raising awareness for programs that help women. Her cookbook has raised a lot of money for the Grenfell Towers victims. Meghan Markle’s interior motives? We’ll never know! Maybe she’s pure evil. But she doesn’t do evil. She does good.

Yep.

Ahhhhh, my age is showing here. I have been in audio/Speech Recognition/voice so many years. And I wanted to be an Astronaut when I was growing up. So this was all in my head. Glad to know that there are still people around who find it interesting.

Some people just wonder. Jason acts. 

You know, I never thought about those tones till now - they were just part of the audio. My mind is somewhat blown now, and I’m being nostalgic about old space documentaries.

In the 80's, when I was a young woman entering a male dominated field the discussion was always how I would handle things, what I could change about my dress or behavior to avoid drawing unwanted contact/attention, and how the “girls” had to toughen up. I had a bit of a shock last year when I was talking to some young…

It was my pleasure. If I’d only known in Uni that the key to making me focus on my Traductions 100 homework was to be LIVID maybe I would have stuck with it...

I did a quick and dirty translation for people who want to witness this (thanks for sharing and for the further context!) This man is FUCKING INSANE and I can’t believe he’s not in jail or worse.

I wasn’t allowed to go to slumber parties because, as I’d later learn, my parents thought boys would come over (after the adults in change went to bed) and have sex with us. Keep in mind...I was about eight when I got invited to my first one, and I didn’t know of any boys who could drive across town to sneak into a…

I’ve been listening to the podcast You Must Remember This’s coverage of the Manson Family murders. In it they make Polanski seem like a total shit bag even before he was arrested for raping a minor. According to the podcast he treated Tate like crap and then after she was murdered he spent time in Switzerland and…

I don’t mean society in general—I should have expressed myself better. I mean those little eddies and whirlpools, the mini-societies, that form around, say, someone like David Bowie.

Guess we have to remove Maurice Chevalier singing “Thank Heaven For Little girls” from heavy rotation now. I hope so, anyway.

“To sleep with a child, it’s a holy experience, a baptismal event, a sacred adventure.”

Consent is such a fraught concept. There is nothing magical about the age of 18 or 15 or whatever post-pubescent age that is codified as the legal age of anything. The only reason for 18 has to do with the suffrage and military draft in the US but it could have easily been age 22 or age 15 if that is what the winds of…

Suddenly, people begin asking: How did anyone ever think that was OK?

Wow, a whole 25% of the city is non-white!? That’s... still really white. And are most of the non-white people pushed into specific areas of town?

As a Portlander I can tell you that even though the attacker was Black, this statement still holds true. Very true. Lots of “unaware racists” in this town.
