Aren’t you putting Descartes before the horse?

CNN whines about the Trumps' wedding anniversary.

Because journalism.

> before the horse?

Don't do that.

Okay, go ahead.

Yeah, I haven't paid attention to the guy in over thirty years, but was waiting for more datapoints before putting faith in the accusations.

Wepl....

Probably very lightweight.

But I've had movers tell me they won't even attempt to transport Ikea stuff, because it wasn't constructed for breakdown or repair.

I would describe this as a Big Thing, in terms of civilization's ugly trends. Like the casual/incompetent disposal of all our plastic, the corruption of diet by subsidized carbs, and country music.

That time the Israelis landed an F-15 with only one wing?

Another one like that.

Give it to me straight, Doc....

(Ahem)

Give it to me straight, Doc....




Also, don't forget this.

Bacon. I won't vouch for the veracity of the claims made, tho. Some seem...too good to check.

"Why do my kids act like angels at school and like wild things at home?"

I can feel the stress hormones coursing through my body, such as when I’m trying to cook dinner while stepping on cats, shoving the dog off the counter, and the kids are climbing on the furniture in superhero capes, making snowy-owl noises. I don’t know what to do about it, or whether I should just focus on my own reaction to it.

The answer, of course, is "You're failing as a parent; act like one, you bloody idiot," but instead we get hundreds of words about "taking good care of yourself."

Speciesism Party: A Vegan Critique of Sausage Party

"Such a reading is situated within an emerging vegan studies framework (Wright 2015) that is sensitive to the reproduction of unequal power relations between humans and other species, but also how those power inequalities intersect with intra-human power relations along the lines of gender, sexuality, “race,” age, class, different experiences of embodiment and so on"

And that about wraps it up for academia. Last one out please turn off the lights.

Cosh can be a cluster-seven antediluvian mondotwat, but when he's in his groove, he's excellent.

So...mind reading, then?

If women don’t understand men, it’s because men are poor communicators. If men don’t understand women, it’s because men are poor listeners.

Cogito ergo spud. (I think, therefore I yam.)

Who is harmed by 2+2=4?
Who gains from 2+2=4?

Will that change if we ignore reality and declare 2+2=5?

I want these anti science SJWs to put their money where their mouth is and take a skydive with a parachute packed by someone who thinks the way your parachute is folded relies less on math and physics and more on the political/victim group affiliation of the person packing the chute

About that 2+2=5..

Shouldn't that be "... therefore I spam"?

Somebody needs to tell the California legislature that there is a difference between science and a science project.

The usage figure behind California's proposed plastic straw ban rests on a survey done by a 9-year-old in 2011.
