How about taxing them and letting some of that money go to common good and into circulation where it will get the economy going instead of lining politicians bank accounts or going straight back to koch-controlled companies supplying the campaigns?

Koch groups alone spent more than double the combined political spending (including to undisclosed group) for the top ten unions combined. The chart includes union spending on dark money Democratic groups and Koch spending on dark money groups like Americans for Prosperity.

Male-Male penguin couple adopts an egg.

Male-Male penguin couple adopts an egg.

At the local aquarium we have a male-male couple. They are older males who have been in male-female couples earlier. But now they have a male-male relationship.

A female recently laid two eggs, and then quite a bit later, one more. This last egg was doomed, as it was too far behind and would get crushed when the two others hatched. So the egg was offered to the male couple, who immediately adopted it.

Noone knows if this last egg is fertilized, but according to the aquarium officials they usually are.

This.

This. If you feel like opening your mouth and saying something to the effect that "there are female jerks as well"... Then read this. And shut up for a while. This is not the time for men to have hurt feelings. This is a time for listening and understanding. The Isla Vista shooting has touched something we must understand. And we understand by using our ears, not our mouths.

Status quo is uncomfortably close to these quotes from 1887.

Come on guys. We are better than this. Let us do what we can to eradicate "Set B". It is our job.

Sad, but not at all surprising.

The killer ended up killing more men than women, but it all comes back to the same culture.

The killer ended up killing more men than women, but it all comes back to the same culture. He wanted to kill women because they rejected him, and he felt entitled to their love. And he wanted to kill the men who "stole" his women, as he was more entitled to the women.

I agree completely with the message that it is up to men (all men. Every single one of us) to stop this.

"But we can stop it, by refusing to consent to it or reinforce it any longer. We can change the channel when the peddlers of misogyny come on; we can starve them of the attention they need to survive. We can let friends and family know, when they spew prejudice, that we don’t appreciate hearing anyone talk about women that way. We can reject the demand that men prove their masculinity through casual sexism or aggression. We can see that discrimination in the workplace, or harassment on the street, or abuse and degradation on the internet, is treated with the seriousness it deserves. We can listen to women when they talk about their experiences, and believe them."

Advisory: really horrible shit. Again.

And we can put a stop to it, we men. Women can’t stop it – at least, not alone – but we can. This follows trivially from the fact that we created it. We created the culture that led to acts of violence like this: not individually, not single-handedly, but collectively, through a million small acts that add up to a background radiation of sexism, a subtle devaluing of women’s lives and autonomy that’s pervasive in our culture. When this poison becomes concentrated in a single person, it creates killers.

From the Norwegian national day on may 17th. Du you see the headless one? With a suit jacket and tie, but a dress from the waist down? Nice try, super effect. Quite impressive, really.
