You’re pedantry detracts from the larger more salient issues. It was neither the time nor place. It also amplified the message of bad faith actors who use this true, but tangential point to discredit her. This may be why you’re being downvoted. Good luck.

I love the corruption of the saying to give us the name. Reminds me of “Goodbye” being a corruption of “God be with ye”.

I understand the technique. I don’t understand how that changes the larger issue when you accurately bracket it from, [Black women] to [These specific black women]. Do you have a point beyond pendantics?

Neuropsychologists have the ability to diagnose dementia in all states in America. They shouldn’t be doing it without a full evaluation.

I read it. Next time post the snopes article and the relevant quote.

If we would have said three weeks ago […] that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called racist. But now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us! They’re coming out and they’re saying, “I’m only here because of affirmative action.”

Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.

And then construct an actual argument. This is what he said, people are taking it out of context, and this is why it’s important.

You’ll still get downvoted, but at least you’ll have done the hard work or connect the dots.

Honestly, I don’t know how pointing out that this was said about specific black women makes any difference to the quote. You seem to think it’s important.

We are a democratic republic. We democratically elect our republican representatives.

I now know way more about this than I wish I knew.

A lot of public toilets don’t have a cover.

Fox News is able to survive advertisement boycotts more easily than other outlets because they charge a higher rate to cable providers to carry their channel. They know their viewership will sign up with the company that has their channel and not the competitor that doesn’t. So all providers need to have it because their audience is huge. So they collect a larger percentage of their revenue from these companies than other channels do.and because of that, they don’t need as much money from advertisers and can more easily absorb an advertiser boycott.

Agreed, grounding as a punishment seems wrong. Use it as an opportunity for developing his wisdom. He knows better now. And there was probably a little voice telling him before it happened that it was stupid. He should learn to listen to that voice. Tell him that even though you think it was reckless, that you are grateful for him coming to you and you know that it couldn’t have been easy.

I should have been more clear. I posted the article as an example of what I understood you were pointing at.

When I said “you”, I should have said the author of the article. I wasn’t being clear enough.

I think your take is right on the money.

This is the absolute worst instance of what you’re talking about that I’ve seen. I have no idea how you can say he advocated Christianity at his best. He was an effective political organizer of the conservative youth movement able to take oppressive messaging and wrap it in the vaneer of liberalism and Christian marginalization. He did this for some very powerful and monied institutions. He created a monster.

Far less chaos than I was expecting.

Freedom with their exception.

Doctors regularly Google stuff. Their training isn’t in memorizing everything, but in contextualizing data, making decisions based upon the evidence and risk, and communicating that decision to the patient in a way that the patient can understand while allowing the patient to maintain bodily autonomy.

When patients Google symptoms they have no understanding of the disease, it’s prevalence in the community, it’s long term effects, and it’s risk profile. It’s why medicine uses scientific data to make decisions but not a science itself.

Fuck. They’re gonna make a song about this and name a ship after Kirk.

According to a preliminary internal report circulated inside the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, federal and local officials recovered ammunition with the rifle that appeared to be engraved with statements “expressing transgender and anti-fascist ideology.” But a senior law enforcement official with direct knowledge of the investigation cautioned that report had not been verified by A.T.F. analysts, did not match other summaries of the evidence, and might turn out to have been misread or misinterpreted. In fast-moving investigations, such status reports are not made public because they often contain a mixture of accurate and inaccurate information.
