I don’t often downvote comments, as I think that often that’s just a censorious way to say “I disagree”. But this comment so obviously adds nothing of value to the conversation, and indeed poisons it with petty grievance. So I feel totally justified in downvoting this comment.
I have a panini press that can be propped open, and it’s the best thing for reheating a slice of pizza. I usually microwave it a bit first just to heat it thru, but sticking on the panini press makes the crust, ah, crusty again.
Exactly. Because it’s not any better (“plenty horrible as it stands” as I put it in my original comment), the deceptive headline is not only unnecessary, but also taints the entire story with falsehood when it should not be so degraded.
Ok, the title comes from the linked article, but they aren’t banned from “mentioning anatomy”. They are banned from showing pictures of reproductive organs.
I don’t know why some people seem compelled to take a story that’s plenty horrible as it stands and give it a deceptive headline… seems like I’m seeing more of that recently. Are we really in a post-truth era?
This is the obvious response to the terrorism-inducing Republican meme. A recipe with a mount-watering picture in response to every regurgitation of that reprehensible lie would have been awesome. A bit late for that now, I think it’s dying down …
You could have actually done the thing and shared the link instead of that annoying animated GIF that won’t stop. We get it, you’re so clever.
Here’s the link you couldn’t be arsed to provide: https://archive.ph/gPlLT
EDIT: Looks like it doesn’t get past the paywall after all. Oh well, the more you know …
I haven’t checked the veracity of reports like this, but I’ve heard this and it makes me think her vagueness has got to do with $$$, not votes.
It’s a parabola or hyperbola. Of course, it’s not technically an “orbit” since it isn’t closed; the Wikipedia pages are called Parabolic trajectory and Hyperbolic trajectory.
The only assumption he’s making is that, if you refer to yourself as “pro-life”, you mean what everyone else in America who calls themselves “pro-life” means. It’s a reasonable assumption, I mean, that’s the way words work.
Sounds like you better not vote then.
Note: I’m only giving you this special advice, everyone else definitely should vote.

John Oliver convinced me that Jill Stein is a dumbfuck back in 2016: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3O01EfM5fU
They aren’t marginalized or ‘left behind,’ though they feel excluded. They want to keep their white, Christian, male privilege.
That pretty much sums it up – do I even need to read the article?
We used to have these shit developers and I accepted a lot of bad code back then – if it actually worked – because otherwise “code review” is full-on training, which is an entire other job from the one I was hired to do.
The client ditched that contracting firm, and the devs I work with now are worth putting in time on code review with – but damn, we got hella shit code in our codebase to deal with now. Some of it got tossed, some of it … we live with.
Makes me think of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5FVsCWKgKEY
Distro wars, like the old vi vs emacs wars (showing my age, I know) is not entirely serious. I never understood sportsball fandom, but it’s kind of like that. Debian is my home team; if you use Fedora, you’re from out-of-town.
Was Will ever a Trump supporter? Somehow I thought he was smarter than that, but I haven’t read an essay of his in decades.
Harris’s policies are misguided on a number of issues, but her main commitment is to strengthening the nuts and bolts of our democracy, so we will still have mechanisms available to challenge those policies and get them to change.
Not only is Trump a thousand times worse than Harris on every bad policy she has, his primary commitment is to destroying the mechanisms of democratic participation, so that there will be no way to hold the powerful to account.
I’ve read many thoughtful articles in TNR; I’m disappointed they would publish this one.
I get the reference from the title-- that’s kind of clever. Too bad it’s paywalled; I guess I won’t get to read it.
