Indeed, indeed. We are all narcissistically tied to our own agendas.

It’s amazing to me how people can be acutely aware of their oppression while totally blind to the oppression of others. Ms. Moreno is out here talking about what is was like being the only Latina trail blazing at the time with nobody like her to look up to. Yet she doesn’t think Afro-Latina’s may be feeling the exact s…

Anyone who takes this advice should also know that the writer Nicholas Wade is a science writer with a BA, not a scientist. His other famous contribution to “science” was about race science and evolutionary science nonsense.

Your last sentence precisely. The source - climate change, deforestation, unregulated food supplies, human error, or bio terrorism conspiracy - matters less. You cannot police other sovereign countries’ climate, environmental, regulatory, and geopolitical policies. What you can do is adjust your own policies and…

There are legitimate concerns and ethical questions about “gain of function” experiments. Some scientific and technological experiments are less about actually advancing the human race. More about hubristic curiosity. There is a thread of a point there.

Sorry Quantum! Late night confusion. Confused you with DGibson. You are absolutely correct. Too bad Kinja won’t let me delete.

WTF are you talking about? The “Guillotine of public and professional opinion” came down so hard on Katie she lost her job and does not have it back. She is still in court trying to get the legal system to acknowledge what her husband did was revenge porn. For the record, I do think having personal relationships with…

Typical of those who enjoy the status quo to talk about it as if it is in the past. It is not in the past for women who still deal with double standards at work. To see a man being given his job back for failing to meet the most basic social contract that we have with each other as civilized human beings distills the…

It was not behind closed doors. He was at work. Virtually, yes. But, At Work. The double standard is ridiculous. Women have been fired, punished and shamed for breast feeding, showing cleavage, wearing the wrong length of skirts/dresses, accidentally “revealing” they do in fact menstruate, runs in their hosiery…

This is one of the reasons why Republicans do better than Democrats. Republicans understand political theater. They go to the border in military fatigues and guns. They stage a confrontation with “coyotes”. Meanwhile Democrats diligently talk about root causes and try to take a systems approach. Well systemic root…

Agreed. Biden gave her a poisoned chalice by making her the face of the immigration issue. She will be pummeled by the progressives in primaries for being hawkish. She will be pummeled by the Republicans for not being xenophobic enough. It’s a lose-lose situation for her. 

Thank you. A minority made this a thing, the majority of people looked into it and shrugged at the nothingness of it all. Most of the liberal internet-sphere has been eye-rolling at these headlines and very few people actually blame her. It’s almost as if some people can understand the results of one cursory…

Unfortunately this is a trend for female artists whose male partners are their “managers” Kelly Clarkson is going through the same thing.

Most people have never encountered a bear but know better than to be the keyboard expert saying this was not so dangerous. Especially when zoo and park experts quoted in the coverage are like please never do this under any circumstances.

What a ridiculous person. The headline says shove, the video shows her literally shoving the bear. No exaggeration there, just a factual description. The bear is at least 2 times her size even if it is “relatively smaller” than other bears. There is no reason to assume that a retreating bear wouldn’t maul the fuck out…

It’s exhausting how there is nothing girls/women can do without some dude trying to explain why what they did was not that impressive actually.

There was hardly a take there. Gosh what passes for thought process over there has really devolved. Dude couldn’t be bothered to excercise his cognitive faculties beyond “suck it up”.

Cool. So the tennis organizations ran out one of their best vibrant, young talent because they wanted to seem tough. Pats on the back all round. 

It’s disingenuous for the tennis federations to pretend this is the first time they are hearing about taxing press coverage of their players. We don’t know what Naomi Osaka may or may not have said to them. But I wouldn’t take the claims that they were “blindsided” at face value. In my experience, organizations are…

Fair. But this seems like a good opportunity for the tennis organizations to review the press commitments. Come up with ways to make press less intrusive and obstructive to their players. Everyone else endures it is not a good reason to make people go through it.
