So many sexual assaults could be stopped if men had the courage at the locker room talk phase (on or offline) of just telling their boys “that’s fucked up, dude. You should show some respect for women.”

My son was told about affirmative consent his entire life, so much so that I was wrestling with the cat which was growling at me (not seriously and she was a cat who growled when she was playing also when she ate food) and my toddler son told me that the cat said no. That shit's not hard to teach.

Total YIMBY rhetorical victory watch: San Francisco’s newest NIMBY group, “YesAND,” is pretending to be YIMBY so that people will take them seriously.
MEET YesAND
YES, San Francisco needs more housing, particularly affordable housing.
AND we can build housing responsibly.
AND we can protect public health and safety.
AND we can respect the scale of our neighborhoods.
AND residents can have a meaningful voice when decisions will permanently reshape their communities.
That's YesAnd!
The Marina Safeway will be our first major effort and your help is critical.

Short-term rental bans have become sort of a progressive cause since the debate frames investors and tourists against long-term residents, but it's kind of ironic that requiring people to pay more rent at a time has come to be seen this way.

Nikita Bier: Hello computer,

Find every Amazon purchase I ever made. 
Call the number of the manufacturer. 
Say you’re not satisfied.
Request a refund. 
If they decline, threaten to leave a bad review.
If they decline, find the CEO’s phone number and ask him for a refund.

Now, repeat the same process for items I never even purchased and see if you can get  them to send me money.

If they ask for a recipient, generate an image of one and send that.

Do not stop until you’ve collected $1 million in refunds.

It's great to see tailoring accommodate such extreme movement today. This level of tailoring was a bit more common in the past, as you can see in old films featuring Fred Astaire or Gene Kelly, but many modern suits will lift off the wearer's neck even when they're just walking.
