And Hollywood continues to implode.

We are good people and are always in the forefront of social action and liberal causes. It’s in our DNA as Jews to feel empathy for the marginalized, the persecuted, the less fortunate. It’s who we are and who we have been for millennia but I suggest that in the complexity of today we use the Israeli-Palestinian crisis as a moral litmus test. Whatever the cause. Whatever the protest. Whatever the rally, if we wish to show solidarity because it appears a righteous event, then we should drape ourselves in the Israeli flag, put on a blue and white kippa and wait to see what happens. Permit me to offer some clues in what the reaction would be in too many of today’s civil and human rights venues. Let’s connect some dots.

Man gets arrested for wearing a cute hat shaped like a pig

Hoo boy. Hurricane Harvey is going to go down fighting. Like a fighting $2 hooker. I wonder when he will start naming names out of spite?

We're told Weinstein's position -- he did not violate his current contract, which he signed in October 2015. He maintains no sexual harassment complaints were lodged after he signed the contract. We're told TWC never gave Weinstein it's reason for the firing.

If this is true, then there's also a wrongful termination in there somewhere.

Well, here's something that doesn't get a lot of media attention - but it should, for more than one reason.

http://www.newsweek.com/2017/09/22/male-infertility-crisis-experts-663074.html

Apparently, male infertility is getting pretty bad all around the world. (Yet another "reason" for men not to take much interest in contraception.)

From the last quarter (it's a cover story):

...Pretending that pregnancy is almost entirely a female responsibility means that women are forced to carry the burden and the blame when it goes wrong, while men, who are just as vital to healthy conception, rarely worry about how their lifestyles impact their own fertility or their possible children. “Women will often be sent to invasive, expensive procedures for fertility before a sperm test is ever done,” says Resolve’s Collura.

So men are getting off free while their female partners put themselves through painful and expensive fertility treatments. Well, not exactly. The constant production of new sperm cells makes semen highly sensitive to toxins and disease, making it an ideal surrogate for male health—“like blood pressure,” as Louis puts it—beyond what it might signal for fertility. Poor sperm levels and infertility are a clear sign that men’s health is failing. One 2015 study found that men diagnosed with infertility have a higher risk of developing health issues like heart disease, diabetes and alcohol abuse, while another connected infertility to cancer. “Semen quality isn’t just about a couple getting pregnant,” says Louis. “There is increasing evidence at the population level that men with diminished semen quality die earlier and have more chronic diseases. This is as important to health as any disease state.”...

My guess is that when you have soy in darned near everything (phytoestrogens) and birth control hormones in the water, unimpeded by water treatment, as far as I know, it is to be expected that the fertility of some males will fall.

George Clooney has some 'splainin' to do!

America Fights Back: Record Number of Patriotic Cord-Cutters Tumble TV Stocks

Look, I don't care, I'm making my money.

But "patriotic"? Huh? Could there *be* a more obvious technological revolution underway?

Trumpistas seem always to be desperate for the sort of gauzy sociological validation which they deplore in others.

Sometimes it's just a cigar. Woodrow Wilson was not the cause of the collapse of blacksmithing.

Your observation might be more on point if you had said ideologues. Your penchant for pretending that pettiness in humans never existed until Trump ran for office is stupid

Maybe, mpetrie98. But that's just the tip of the iceberg when one considers the general pollution problems - especially all the OTHER legal/illegal drugs people consume. Also, I'd bet that the Pill is not at all easily available in most Third World countries.

Makes one wonder why feminists ignore that to work on the problems of visual rape and a non existent wage gap

luj,

For the same reason some conservatives support Trump and many don't. They're not a monolith.

See the cover story in Newsweek, by conservative Charles Sykes:
