I was curious as well, because I’ve found the same thing. Ina’s recipes are good and they work and it’s not like they’re pretentious or anything. Apparently this is what Bourdain actually said about Ina. It’s condescending, which Bourdain often is, but it’s not actually insulting.

Does the distinction that one was at the bench on the sidelines among teammates, while the other was in the middle of the endzone in the face of opponents hold nothing?

Yeah, don't count me on your team. I can think microaggressions and safe spaces are silly and think you're an asshole. I'm cool like that.

No one is using the term freedom of speech that way, and you probably know that. The issue is intellectual freedom, something prized by most faculty and students the preceding 200 years, up until these current times.

They are very much allowed to speak up for themselves, but Mizzou and Yale are not on equal playing fields, and to assume such is foolish.

I am sure that minority students feel like outsiders and face discrimination at Yale. To diminish that by focusing too much on Yale isn’t entirely fair. However, it should not be…

People aren’t supporting this effort as much because it started over issues about Halloween costumes and most people don’t take that as a serious enough complain to warrant firing people over. There are some legit issues here, but it is hard to overcome that beginning.

I don't hear "Fox et al" trying to muzzle the protestors or prevent them from assembling. They are doing what you say is legitimate: criticizing them for some of the things they are saying. Or is criticism of speech or action only to be directed at white people?

I think it’s the protesters here that are complaining about free speech getting in the way of their “safe space.”

Exactly...

I was also struck by this. Somehow if the administration and faculty don’t show visible emotion in a professional context they lack empathy or the ability to listen and consider what they’re hearing? I’m sure I’ll get slammed in the comments for this, but this sounded like a breach of decorum on the part of the…

I don’t disagree with the general thrust of a lot of the complaints - Yale, like every organization in America, certainly has some issues to work through, and I absolutely believe it can be oppressive for minority students. But the response to the professor’s email has been overblown and shameful. Her email makes…

As much as I don’t like the people who are going to side with you, because most of them will be shit (I’m speaking of the commentariat here), I have to agree.

Yep. That letter basically boiled down to, “These students are adults in the eyes of the law. They can figure some stuff out on their own.”

Did anyone actually read the Yale professors response to the halloween costume letter?

Found the delusional SJW, everyone!

I don’t think that’s what she is saying at all. I think she’s saying that minors trading pictures with other minors doesn’t seem that harmful to her. I’m not saying I agree, but I do think that it’s weird when you see people under the age of 18 get charged with pornography for sending nude photos of themselves. Which…

You understand that wearing a condom doesn’t mean you don’t leave traces of DNA behind. You do. Hair, skin, sweat, etc. is still left behind on the skin of the victim, regardless of whether or not you wear a condom.

A rape kit test was performed - where samples are taken from the surrounding areas, as well as…

That reasoning is too circular for my taste. The primary reason many of these guys aren’t considered ‘good guys’ is because of the sexual assault/rape accusation in their past.

I took all the Kane stuff down from my son’s room because - regardless - the very public “bro” act he plays in his personal life isn’t something I want to endorse. If he wants to go out and party and drink I guess that is fine, but the reality is that he has willingly signed up to be a hero to kids in Chicago and…

I hope he does. This has tarnished his reputation (albeit he didn’t have a great one to begin with with the whole taxi incident) and screwed him out of a lot of endorsement money. I hope he makes an example out of this woman and her horrible mother. Patrick Kane will now be remembered as the guy who was accused of…
