Anyone who had actually met Socrates would be first in line to tear down his statues. Dude was so widely reviled in Athens that they executed him just so he'd stop annoying people.

But to be clear we should definitely burn all ancient greek sites and replace them with enormous golden statues of Xerxes
Say what you will about the Persian Empire but

quote:

At the head of his armies, he left Sardis for the Hellespont and had two boat bridges placed across the strait. A storm destroyed them, and Xerxes had the sea whipped as punishment.

drat, here I was all for tearing down statues that have stood as a symbol of centuries of oppression of black people, until I realized that it would cost us our precious Socrates statues. That's just a price not worth paying.

Iran has been nothing but problems for many years. Let this serve as a WARNING that if Iran strikes any Americans, or American assets, we have targeted 52 Iranian sites (representing the 52 American hostages taken by Iran many years ago), some at a very high level & important to Iran & the Iranian culture, and those targets, and Iran itself, WILL BE HIT VERY FAST AND VERY HARD. The USA wants no more threats!

During the 1970s in a series of lectures at the Collège de France, Michel Foucault outlined a “secret history of the police”, characterising a force that paid greater attention to regulating the marketplace than investigating and arresting criminals.

The central task of the police, according to classical Foucauldian analysis, has also been to thwart and foil the possibility of revolution, the possibility of transgressing the order of capital: “For the bourgeoisie the main danger against which it had to be protected, that which had to be avoided at all costs, was armed uprising, was the armed people, was workers taking to the streets in assault against the government.”

Paw Patrol: Mighty Pups, the first theatrical reiteration from the popular animated franchise, is the latest shadowy attempt to normalise state-sponsored thuggery.

According to Spitting Image, Rowan Atkinson paying for his share of lunch and not being late is as rare as being served in Woolies after less than four weeks wait, a public swimming bath where they don’t piss in the pool, a guy who got a job straight after leaving school, and meeting a normal merman and a fairly modest German.

But you’ll never meet a nice South African.

(And that’s not very surprising, mun.)

Found a TERF in my friend's facebook comments. I've never actually encountered one in the wild before. Using the same old tactics, too. I'm about to let her have it had to share because this isn't something I have ever had to respond to before.

I’m terrified to follow whatever Michael Palin is up to today because I don’t think I can handle finding out he’s become a lovely person too. He was always my favorite.

Though I suspect Cleese has always been kind of a dick.

"A penis free environment"

How would you even know who has a vagina and who doesn't in a women's restroom? Does she peek under the stalls?

It's a weird kind of irony, in their quest to "protect" women's bathrooms they've effectively made it so you are more likely to be harassed by a cis-woman for trying to use the toilet. They are the biggest threat a woman has to deal with right now, because there's a ludicrously small chance that a man will be in that bathroom and a very small chance a transwoman will be in there, but you know there is always going to be a ciswoman in the toilet so you're never safe.
