    @Jolly said in Did Clarence Thomas Do anything Wrong?: You had to find a mighty tall ladder to pick those cherries. The only ladder I had to climb was to find a bone of contention so ridiculously stupid that it was clearly incomparable to a Justice accepting large gifts. There are plenty examples of the conservative bit of the MSM finding rather silly things to get worked up about. In this particular case, the level of outrage inspired by such a stupid issue was pretty high IIRC. Obviously when Fox do this kind of thing it's more out of patriotic fervour than because they're a bunch of cunts like the rest of the media. The great media moralist Bill O'Really said of Obama riding a bicycle, 'America deserves better'. Obviously this was before he was fired for alleged sexual misconduct which apparently is even worse than riding a bike in a built up area.

    Good stuff. You can tell someone gets their belief right, when it makes them humble.

    @George-K said in Penn and Teller - Masterclass: @Aqua-Letifer said in Penn and Teller - Masterclass: Seen it. The entire masterclass? Wow. Yeah, I've seen a few at this point. (Free for me because of my night job): David Lynch James Patterson Penn & Teller David Mamet Aaron Sorkin Neil Gaiman David Carson Levar Burton If you're already well into something and are self-driven, it can be insightful but they're by no means how-tos. You enjoyed, I assume. Oh yeah, definitely. They do a great job illustrating the importance of storytelling and empathy with magic, and how that creates the best acts.

Mazur had inadvertently found herself in an ongoing and fervent corner of the culture war that is increasingly playing out online, one where content that directs hate toward women — even against women with relatively small social media presences — has become profitable and popular inside and outside of conservative circles. Walsh and many other right-leaning voices are part of a larger conservative movement that promotes what they consider to be traditional family values. That has included targeting medical gender transition procedures and openly criticizing women who have not married and had children. One version of this ideology has become known as “trad wife” content, where women envision ‘50s-style housewife ideals including subservience to their husbands, which has made the practice controversial. ...
