I also get a whiff of "If you care about living things you're a pussy," which is also an attitude women who go into OB/GYN and pediatrics catch. Even though they're heavily pushed into those fields in the first place.

Isn't everyone in med school "pushed" into those specialties and primary care because everyone wants to be a surgeon and make $400k/year?

Holy gently caress. I know there are people that will stand by him no matter what but I cannot believe for a second people wouldn't be phased by this.
And this is why I'm not worried about Hillary vs Trump. Trump has left himself wide open to being smashed on multiple fronts, but the Republicans played nice(ish) and didn't eviscerate him.

Hillary is under no compunction to hold back, and will make him look like the utterly clueless idiot he is on national television, and she will have fun doing it.

This is good stuff. Might even scare the young and stupid who were testing the waters into thinking twice before going Jihadi. "Why am I on this list?" "Oh, because we're watching you since you've been talking to known terrorists. Anything else we can help you with today?"

Speedy recourse in clearing things up would be the best though. And yeah...that'd be nice to stop the openly racist garbage that the CIA and FBI "used to" get up to.

Honestly we need an aggressive national level amnesty in exchange for therapy/assistance. Call the hotline and get your kid to complete a deradicalization program and have all changes dropped. that way communities won't feel that if they report the religious or chemistry enthusiast teen the Feds will imprison them forever. Also this should apply to all radicalized groups in the US, no matter which kind of terrorism they falsely idiolize.

It seems like the obvious choice is how "computer janitor" went from low status secretarial work to a High Paying IT Career when men got interested (not that that's probably perfect, either).

This is a big reason why I didn't like Mad Men, to be honest. I know it obviously wasn't glamorizing the era as much as a lot of people thought it was, but I just couldn't separate the show from my personal political feelings, making my immersion basically for poo poo. I get that that's totally my problem, though.

It is a real problem, though. Even though the show does a really good job of ripping apart that glamorous image to show just how awful the time period really was to everyone in it, you're left with two unpleasant realities at the end 1. Change is slow and 1970 is still decades away from what we consider normal and appropriate now, and 2. Rich, white dudes will almost always land on their feet, no matter how great the gently caress up. Roger, Pete, and Don do have a little character growth that contributes towards their happy endings, but realistically they could have stayed selfish, miserable shits to the end and never faced the kind of consequences characters farther down the social ladder would face for failing to be perfect and perfectly lucky.

Every woman who's ever been photographed without a smile plastered to her face gets called "cold." We can't undo the effects of twenty years of propaganda about Hillary (I'm not done sorting out what my real feelings about her are, and I'm actively trying) but we can stop repeating stuff like this so the problem at least doesn't get worse.

Alternatively we can stop buying into the idea that there's something wrong with a woman being reserved and stern, attributes that are often prized in male leaders. I really liked the Chillery Clinton meme because it took decades of rightwing "not nice/emotive enough = not feminine enough" dogwhistles and recast them as something cool and laudable.

Previous job numbers are almost always revised and this month's will likely be revised upwards in ensuing months.

That said, it's still not a great jobs report but who the gently caress cares since it's continuing an unprecedented period of job growth and it's not indicative of an economic slowdown.

One job report isn't, but previous job reports were also revised downward so the labor market on the whole is looking less great. I know we've all got PTSD from several years of Republicans politicizing the hell out of economic news to deny any kind of recovery under Obama, but the economy will slow down sooner or later. It's just what happens.

I'd get behind this. Anything that can keep kids from ruining their lives (or worse, the lives of others) would be a net good. The Dylann Roof's of the world might be saved before they go too far off the deep end.

We used to run into poo poo like that all the time where we wanted to have a Spanish language outreach but nobody on staff could do a good job translating and it'd just end up embarrassing and Google Translate-ish. (Thankfully now we have this problem more than solved)

I like to think CNN did that on purpose just to cram as many of those stabs in as possible but it's CNN and maybe they think that's how you make a list like buzzfeed does.
