Tangent: through all of this chaos is anyone else, like, getting it pretty bad for Emmanuel Macron? I am married but if I were having a bachelorette party I wouldn’t want my strippers to be cops or whatever. I’d want sexy world leader strippers. Sexy Macron impersonator, sexy obama impersonator, sexy Trudeau…

OK I’m going to take this baby bird story as an opportunity to share what just happened during my lunch break (I’m in Hawaii, so it’s 12:45):

In order to volunteer at any of the schools in our school district, you have to fill out an application which includes permission for them to do a background check. I am of the hope that ‘former serial killer’ would preclude someone from volunteering.

Helicopter parenting is bad and you can’t shelter them from bad stuff in the world too much but I feel like “I don’t want my children interacting with a known serial killer” is a fairly reasonable request?

This is wonderful! So few people have even heard of the Jane project; I don’t much see it mentioned in mainstream history or documentaries on the women’s movement or what-have-you, like it seems to still be info you really have to seek out. But that was a seriously wild-west time for modern women’s health... To take…

One thing I feel like is missing from these comments and the article. Is that the sculpture was pushed as “part playground.” Can you imagine installing a replica of a Nazi crematorium in the same way and not consulting any Jewish groups?

What happens is that it’s been recorded for posterity and will eventuality come back to bite them in the ass.

Yep. I was thinking that the other day. An actual red flag that identifies the wearer is a terrible person.

Yup. People would be yelling at you from across the street and wouldn’t stop until they got right up in your face. And even then, they might not be sure.

Any red hat startles me and I judge that person SO harshly

Dunno about you guys, but the red baseball cap is forever stained in my eyes.

Wait... we’re really wondering why someone who was sentenced to 5 years for stealing $120 would be afraid of standing trial for armed robbery?

Fam,

In before the debate even gets started.

Does this mean we can start kicking Jews and coloreds out of our business establishments?
