The Bureau’s droll sense of humor is often underappreciated.

I have been on Kinja for a little over 2 weeks. My first ever comment was on aug 8 and it wasn’t to you. Look it up if you are truly that confused. Or just make another off-kilter vulgar personal attack. Works for our President!

If you choose a (doubly) male name and use a male photo, maybe don’t get so self -righteous when readers assume you are male. Ok you are a woman making a joke like men make about women. Or a joke like a lot of women on J make about women over 60 aka the elderly. Go ahead and insult me again if you want - it’s…

There is no test that can be done to prove that talcum powder or any other potential carcinogen caused a particular case of cancer to occur. Evidence of causation, if you want to call it that, can only be based on statistical arguments. Given the difficulty the average person has in understanding statistics, the…

“Torso” is one of the scariest words in the English language.

Talcum powder is made from the mineral talc, which as mines was contaminated by asbestos. Asbestos causes irritation and inflammation and eventually cancer. Talcum powder has been asbestos free for decades now, but some people worry that talc itself might be irritating and inflammatory.

There is still some question whether uncontaminated talc could pose some risk. I’m sure we are at much greater risk from cheeto dust.

Women of color were targeted in their marketing. :(

Babies were mostly exposed on their skin, which is a very good natural barrier, and used for a relatively short time in their lives. Any risk to babies is way way way down in the list of things to keep you up at night.

It’s worth noting that J&J changed the way it produced talcum powder in the early seventies to remove the asbestos contaminant implicated in the original studies.

Like all men are required by law to make patronizing generalizations about women?

And Secret Service agents are going unpaid protecting Trump (who won’t stay at that “dump” of a White House) and his adult children. https://amp.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/aug/21/secret-service-costs-protecting-trump-unpaid-agents-randolph-alles

A total absence of self-awareness always amazes me. Is it a neurological condition that predisposes people to a life of hermes scarves, private planes, and smug satisfaction?

If he wanted to kill her over her story, doing it while everyone knew they were alone on a sub would be the worst possible option. More likely he killed her as a last ditch attempt to avoid getting convicted for rape.

I think he assaulted her, after mistaking her interest in the story for an interest in him. Realized he’d go to jail as soon as they got back to land. So decided to kill her and hoped by throwing her body overboard it would not be found. Then scuttled the sub because it was full of evidence (blood) that he could not…

Both are threats, and there aren’t passes for threats against a president, even if that president has no respect for the law himself or even any common decency.

She didn’t just say he should be removed. There is a specific federal law making it a felony to threaten the president, so yes, other people don’t have the same protections a president has. If someone had said the same thing about Obama we would have wanted the secret service to interview them. In this case, they…

She was wrong to make that comment, because it could encourage someone to act even if it wasn’t her intention. It’s a felony to threaten past or present presidents because the office of the president must be protected. Free speech is limited in a way that it is not with ordinary citizens or other elected officials.

I am thrilled every time that one of these statues commemorating Confederate soldiers comes down. The Confederacy sought the continuance of our country’s original sin. There is nothing worse that the Confederates - leaders, soldiers, helpers, enablers - did than to participate in the enslavement of human beings. …
