Nah, it says to be excluded you have to be the "passive partner" so power bottoms are still allowed.

LMAO - also is his name really John Dilbert?

Yeah it's a bit much, but you can't put limits on art. Not gonna lie, I was kinda hoping someone else would pick up the thread with Bill Montgomery. Something like:

It's like starting a "grass roots" student group

When you're seventy two

On your wedding daaaaay

It's a bullet to the neeeck

When you've spent your career advocating against sensible gun control legislation

Yeah far easier to impeach, which requires a simple majority in the House and 2/3rds of the Senate.

The 25th Amendment is a higher bar, since it requires 2/3rds of both the House and the Senate.

Nice. It's from XKCD if you want the source.

Something similar happened to me! It wasn't quite as threatening since my boss isn't a dick. Our CEO declared that we were going to work with Palantir. Not to solve any particular problem, but just because they wanted an announcement saying we were working with Palantir.

The Palantir team did a demo showing how amazing their product was. They showed it supposedly being fed a Microsoft Project file, reading all the tasks, and then identifying which tasks were at risk. It spit out an answer saying something like "Task 123 may be at risk due to several factors including vendor reliability and blah blah." Seemed really impressive - that would have taken a project manager and planner all week to figure out!

I got a hold of what they used for the demo and saw that it wasn't reading a Project file. It was actually being given the task name as the prompt ("Task 123") and then the prompt was "what would a project manager say about why this given task might be at risk?”

I told my boss that it was all smoke and mirrors. No complex analytics were being done. It was just basically "here's a task, tell me why it could theoretically be at risk" - far different than "analyze this project plan, look at related data and identity what tasks are at risk and why".

His response was "Good to know. Unfortunately the CEO has declared we're moving forward with Palantir, so it is what it is."

Somehow this company is worth billions of dollars.

Kind of, but I hate seeing stuff like this:

And while you’ll be hard-pressed to find many experts who support unassisted births—as in, at home, without the presence of a physician or midwife—the core of Shanley’s philosophy stems from a concept that has existed for millennia but has been diminished in the past century: The majority of births are “normal” and don’t require medical intervention.

I'm glad the author prefaces that saying that experts don't support unassisted births. Of course people have been having unassisted births for millennia with the majority being normal. But we used to have much higher infant mortality rates compared to what modern people would deem acceptable.

Personally, I'd have a dead baby and probably would be a widower if my wife hadn't given birth in a hospital.

I love how he tried to gaslight everyone about the image after deleting the post. He claimed he posted a picture of him as a doctor and only the lunatics on the left could interpret it as Jesus.

The headline makes it sound like they banned the whole step porn genre, which seemed super ridiculous to me too.

Buried in the article is says:

...possessing and publishing porn showing incest between family members and sex between step or foster relatives where one person pretends to be under-18 would be a crime

That's one of the major plot points.

Yeah I was gonna say, I think huge pants were on the outs in 2003.
