PBS: Language as Prejudice - Myth #6: Women Talk Too Much (via misandry-mermaid)

Every EVERY women’s studies class I’ve been in has had this problem and failed to address it. 

"You mean you locked up a pack of curious, highly competitive persistence predators with NO enrichment in the enclosure? You FOOLS! If you had bothered to throw a basketball or half a box of Legos in there, KE-X9 would still be alive!

The guy's name is Joel Kaplan and he and his cellmate escaped via helicopter in 1971. The guards were busy with movie time!, and when they heard the chopper they thought it was an unannounced VIP visit so they scrambled to get into formation. They were so busy looking Official that Kaplan and his buddy just. Ran right past them. Whole thing took less than 2 minutes.

They got away with it because:

Kaplan owned the helicopter outright so no rental/leasing agency could claim improper use;

He and the pilot gave their real names when they crossed the border (idk if they didn't ask for anyone else's or...?);

Most importantly, it was a non-violent escape. Nobody was hurt and nothing was damaged.

Turns out that escaping prison is not, by itself, a crime in Mexico. "The person who tries to escape is seeking liberty . . . The basic desire for freedom is implicit inside everyone." Apparently a lot of countries hold that view. Felt some kinda ways, as an American, learning that.

My nephew is very allergic to eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, and sesame. Last year my sister discovered all hot dogs and hamburger buns now contain sesame. Not "may contain", but listed in the ingredients. This year basically every brand of sliced bread also now contains sesame, making it very difficult to find bread items he can eat.

They're just adding it to their products, so they can just list it as an ingredient and not bother with worrying about cross contamination. And they aren't even bothering with telling anyone. Capitalism is going to kill us all.

"Which brings us back to Kellogg’s. Back in 2016, the company found a way around the added burden and expense of complying with the FSMA: they simply began adding trace amounts of peanut flour to their cracker products. Doing so allowed them to list peanuts as an ingredient of the product, freeing them from having to prevent cross-contact.

The KIDS act is under consideration for next weeks house vote. Which will be happening Monday at the earliest

It seems that the KIDS act will be “Legislation considered under suspension of the Rules”

This basically means

“Under suspension, floor debate is limited, all floor amendments are prohibited, points of order against the bill are waived, and final passage requires a two-thirds majority vote.”

The reason why it’s happening as soon as Monday is because it’s under suspension and “Under the rules of the 119th Congress, motions for suspension of the rules are allowed only on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays”

Under suspension is usually done to quickly pass bills “ which enjoy broad, bipartisan support.”
