Yup any information needs to be presented in a graphic novel on a platter of fried chicken and Big Macs.

Yeah that’s the other side of the sword. The more dire and heartbreaking, the more effective. So, does that incentivise human torture for political messaging? Oyoyoy.

Totally. Tech companies or any organisation based on logic or fact wants to douse people with numbers and figures. It’s ineffective. Stories are emotional. Emotions win with public opinion. GENERALLY. Assuming your audience has emotions.

Why are you being a dick then? Empathy is the only way. Don’t judge me and I won’t judge you, bro.

Individual stories are good. Keep reporting on these. Yeah, we usually forget them in eight seconds, but they’re a hell of a lot more compelling than the terms of legislation. That’s why politicians always say shit like, “I met a barber in North Platte, Iowa the other day, and he told me that his wife, Denise, would…

lol you’re a guy, huh? That’s fucking hilarious. You sound like one of those men (?) who hangs around feminist bookstores looking sympathetic and hoping for a date. :)

I knew a person who was not black but was once called in a very derogatory manner a “light-skinned negro” and it was a bizarre thing. It was funny, because it was not true. Were it true, it would not have been funny.

He clearly needs a prompt to have any kind of synaptic response to anything. Who am I kidding.

You know what? I’m on your side. I focus on what matters, which is — being a woman, who is true to herself, who isn’t afraid of making fun of women, because we’re not that fucking fragile, and I insert myself in male-dominated professions and cultures, and I hang, and I out-perform, and I set new standards, and I…

If his first instinct was to bar Iraqi translators/ allies from entry to the US then what can we expect at this point. He’s a dipshit who needs graphic imagery in front of his face to feel any feelings about anything. Is that the point at which he is inoculated from fake news? Maybe we know more about his weaknesses…

This is one of the ultimate no-win situations. The only possible win would be political, for those whose audience doesn’t value Arab civilians as collateral damage, much less as human. So, that’s pretty much why I think trump will intervene and probably kill American soldiers and definitely Syrian civilians to get his…

Pussy hats apparently. Jesus Christ.

This is like watching your tween become politically active because she saw a tweet about an endangered animal and she doesn’t realise it’s cows and she’s eating spaghetti bolognese while she’s pontificating about it to you as you blink at her and question your entire life.

Just pitched a new agency called “We’ll Tell You If It’s Offensive” to someone who knows someone who was involved. Will update.

Congratulations. Actually I’m a woman and I have a sense of humour at the same time as being a femi-nazi. But thanks for proving my point better than I ever could have alone. Wtf? I was referencing the feminist bookstore from Portlandia.

I’m not a parent and do not seek to be one, but part of parenting within a liberal mindset to me means not controlling your kids’ sensibilities. If external cultural forces influence your kids, get used to it. Those forces will always be there. Let the kids learn to like what they really like via freedom, not your…

Being contrary is bigger than your parental dynamic. You’d be you no matter what, because the force against which to be contrary in the feminist sense is immense. I have parents “in Christ” and they are the least of my problems. :)

Other than dismay and disgust, here’s what I have to offer: In a college ethics course, I accidentally drew a big line on my cheek with my pen. I sat through the entire ETHICS class with pen on my face, and the ETHICS professor said nothing. ???

You might just be an asshole.

I was gonna say Basquiat but I love me some Bob Ross. I think we agree more than you think. I totally concur regarding education, and I also believe that at some points in history, separate categories absolutely were a good and constructive idea, but I have a lot of trouble with lady actors being separate. That…
