That's an interesting way of describing the situation. Another is Joel Davis encouraged others to rape the politician. Davis's defense is that he meant "rhetorical rape" in an academic sense.

It's absurd to suggest that he "encouraged others to rape the politician". There is absolutely no way that a reasonable person could perceive his message in such a way in that context.

To add a little such context, Davis frequently links controversial social media posts and encourages followers to post replies. These "brigades" are usually very successful, even turning the tide on the Prime Minister's posts.

The politician in question posted something controversial. Davis linked the post and encouraged followers to "rhetorically rape" her by replying. You're welcome to deem the wording distasteful, but his meaning is clear.


He was also a nazi. Not in the "everyone I don't like is a nazi", but he was a member of a group calling themselves national socialists.

What in god's name is the meaning of the image on their homepage? It looks like a conceptual, digital rendering of a colonoscopy.

:D Yes, we demand an explanation!

This is a pretty common restriction.


This restriction appears to go beyond most other state level policies in the US.

> This is the strictest ban on sending reading material to prisons in the country. Advocates worry this will launch similar efforts nationwide. [0]

“Advocates worry”

What are we talking about here? Who are these advocates and why should I listen to their worries over prison personnel?


Treating prisoners humanely and preparing them to resume a productive life after prison helps us all.


Prison personnel are often misaligned when it comes to the wellbeing of their inmates.


Although that doesn't make it good.

Thank you! I can't understand posting Twitter links when there's an actual source of information!

Fertilizer returns to the sea or is consumed by people and then returned to the sea. I think GP was worried about something that permanently locks phosphorus away.


There's a little convenience/liquor store at the first floor of my suburban apartment building. I mean true convenience store. Lots of shelves with snacks and liquor. Bright lighting. Zero ambience.

It also has a tiny bar. Like 3 feet long with three stools. One terrible television.

Yet there are always people in there hanging out. People are so desperate for a place to hang that is not their house that they will hang out in a convenience store bar.


> I'm catching up but not all the way there yet.

The only thing you have to catch up on is that there is nothing to catch up on. Everyone is at some stage of growth. No one is ever done growing.

I am impressed by your surveys. You're being open and engaging the world. That's awesome. Now hearing your story, I'd be happy to engage you or even buy you a coffee to hear the results.

Yet if I saw you on the street with a sign, I would likely hustle past. I've lived too long in big cities, and I've developed a crusty shell. So if I pass you by and ignore you, I apologize. I am the one with the problem. :-)


This is about immigrant visas. Visits are non-immigrant visas.


You have a good point but you squander it with condescension and sarcasm.
