Just wanted to add the obligatory reminder that the KKK regards itself as a Christian organization. In my admittedly limited knowledge of religious motivated terrorism, I would also like to point out that it is rare or perhaps non-existent that such acts of violence and aggression can be...

It wasn’t just statutory rape. It was forcible rape.

I thought it was just that the images of sex toys would not be seen as appropriate in most work places. I doubt that anyone here is upset about what happens between consenting adults—so long as no minors or non-consenting people are involved.

If you say so.

Many universities have pre-requisite coursework and GPA requirements to before being admitted into specific degree programs or schools within the university.

You don’t read well? My sister earned her Masters in Physics and then entered a Ph.D. program at a different university in a different state. My mother suffered a very serious traumatic brain injury, resulting in multiple surgeries, months of hospitalization and rehabilitation, and serious...

Apparently YOU do care about what happened in the past because frankly the past, with all of its injustices and inequalities is exactly what gave men, especially white men, their pre-eminence in mathematics, science, power in the world. You care so much about the past that you want to...

Again: see Project 2025. I wish that I were exaggerating but I’m not.

Fundamentalism is the danger—not Christianity or Islam or Buddhism. I know you don’t believe me but look at Project 2025: it’s pseudo fundamentalism rapist Christianity and IMO, that’s the big threat to the US. It’s against everything the country stands for or used to stand for.

It’s pretty common and maybe mandatory for incoming students wishing to study engineering to need to declare a major upon applying. This is almost certainly true of nursing but not necessarily other majors. Despite Derec’s speculation, more women are being admitted to universities because more...

The truth is that women and persons of color always have contributed significantly to the fields of mathematics even when they were forbidden to attend universities, or even to read and write. Their accomplishments were often stolen or their names erased, but that does not mean they did not...

You sound like so many coders whose knowledge base and areas of expertise —or social life do not extend beyond coding so that you think that’s all that matters and everything else is trivial. I certainly worked using hard sciences, unless you don’t consider biochemistry or immunology a hard...

Money. Lots of it. Pouring into his pockets.

https://wapo.st/4pZyiCQ My reading of this is not that the Trump administration is clownish trying to deport someone they had extradited but to ‘correct’ the process the Biden administration had started in order to silence a witness who could expose Trump and Russian collusion or at the very...

AFAIK, he’s not Somali or Somali-Americam

It definitely was the problem: Chauvin was a thug who should not have been in the police force, at least until his overly aggressive behavior had been corrected. Which probably means never. That tape was absolutely brutal. Thao, imo, was almost worse than Chauvin as he jeered at the crowd...

Who? Trump or that drug lord? I disavow both.

My sisters and I all studied hard sciences: cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, physics and mathematics. One sister became a pharmacist. The other earned her masters in physics and dropped out of her Ph.D. Program in physics because of a family situation. She worked with military...

Noor deliberately fired his weapon —in mistake. In neither the case of Justine Damond or George Floyd should either have ever been in danger of their lives at the hands of police officers. The death of George Floyd, imo, is far less forgivable because it wasn’t done by accident, firing in error...

Who hates Christianity? Not me! Are you letting your hatred of Islam blind you? Right now, there is a rise in fundamentalism in Christianity and in Islam that is frankly against the core teachings of both religions, which is only serving to spur hatred and conflict—and enormous profits. Look...
