These allegations and accusations seem really serious, and should be investigated fully by law enforcement. People who come forward and tell their story of surviving sexual assault and rape deserve to have their words taken very seriously, to be believed and to have the police collect all evidence and testimony so…

He was Flash Thompson?!?! Holy... I don’t... what even...

Internment is one of the darker chapters of American history, and this guy—joking or not—bringing them up when discussing refugees fleeing a terrible civil war the US may have had a hand in is so far beyond unacceptable that he shouldn’t be trusted with the responsibilities of Mayor. There should be a recall election.

Nope. Nope nope nope. Absolutely not. The fight for LGBT equality is about people who are oppressed because of traditional gender roles. That includes gay men, lesbian women, bisexual people, pansexual people, and anyone else who doesn’t fall into traditional gender roles. That absolutely includes trans* people. We’ve…

Yes. As has pushback against multiculturalism. One does not preclude the other.

There’s no such thing as a radical Muslim. There are Muslims and non-Muslims, terrorists or not terrorists. Maybe if people like you were more accepting of other people with only the slightest differences from themselves those people wouldn’t feel isolated and alienated in their new homes and would find it easier to…

Okay. If any of them are women, I guess Chelsea doesn’t really have a leg to stand on here. I mean, she shouldn’t be in prison in the first place, she’s a whistleblower and a free country should have whistleblower protections, but the hair thing, assuming it’s not specific to gender, is immaterial.

If there was a legitimate security risk to prisoners having long hair, no prisoners would have long hair, regardless of gender. Since some prisoners are allowed long hair, we can conclude that there’s no legitimate security risk in it and Chelsea should be allowed to grow her hair out.

How can we tell the difference between sponsored and non-sponsored content on Lifehacker?

Fish?! Is it fish?! I’m terrible at guessing games.

While Serrano v. Priest did establish that district finances be equal throughout California, back in 1976, the reality is that ruling has only somewhat lessened inequality. This transition you speak of has been happening for over 40 years and is nowhere near completion. Parcel taxes mean that wealthier areas get more…

Atherton should not appear on any list which takes into account shorter commute time or affordable housing. Sure, there’s a high median income (and thus good schools, because of our insane funding system), but at what distribution? What standard deviation?

They could have very subtly digitally animated some movement into the scene in post. I’m not sure who saw that and said, “Alright, looks good. Print it.”

Unless you’re born on Themiscyra.

10-11? Jeez, by then I’m usually winding down for bed.

I’ll be working well into my 70s and even 80s, I’ll just scale back hours and take longer vacations when I hit 65 which is when my investments and savings will kick in. I hold out little hope for a robust Social Security or pension.

I loved Allie Jones’ article “You Get Two Questions” as a solid rationale behind a general rule of thumb when striking up a conversation with a stranger in public. The problem is that some people, who are the conversation striker-upers, don’t seem to have the social awareness of when they’ve gone way past what’s…

This just means we need to step up our game, because people still don’t understand feminism.

I can’t wait to see the rivalry between Priyanka Chopra’s character, Alex, and Ivy Lynn, who are both up for the same FBI position.

The gender wage gap persists in large part because it’s neither well known or understood. Large segments of the population, including managers, are either unaware/skeptical of the gap or don’t sufficiently understand the gap well enough to manipulate it. And even understanding it fairly well, I’d be hard pressed to…
