Bei Rando teilt man, aber es ist nicht social. Und das ist seine Stärke! Es schafft Nähe, die unintuitiv ist.

Feminists hate patriarchy. We do not hate you. If you really care about those issues as passionately as you say you do, you should be thanking feminists, because feminism is a social movement actively dedicated to dismantling every single one of them. The fact that you blame feminists—your allies—for problems against which they have been struggling for decades suggests that supporting men isn’t nearly as important to you as resenting women.

It's 2013, the day I sit down, with trepidation, to write this. The Times's obituary for Yvonne Brill, renowned rocket scientist, winner of the National Medal of Technology and Innovation, leads with, "She made a mean beef stroganoff, followed her husband from job to job and took eight years off from work to raise three children. 'The world's best mom,' her son Matthew said." The past is not gone.

She understood that writing about a tired subject like beauty products (her official beat) required creative framing. She understood the Internet was crazy, and so you had to be a little bit crazier to get some heat. My favorite Cat Marnell headline: “I Loathe My Scary Dad but I Love My Black Eyes: My Three Favorite Liners of All Time.”

Ein falsches Schild ist nur ein Mosaiksteinchen, das allein nicht viel wiegen mag. Kommen aber mehrere davon zusammen, so ergibt sich ein Geschichtsbild, das aus Marketing-Ideen und Ex-Post-Erfindungen zusammengesetzt geradezu zwangsläufig zu völlig falschen Schlüssen führen muss und einen Eindruck des nationalsozialistischen Alltags vermittelt, der von falschen Hypothesen und verharmlosenden Ergebnissen verstellt wird. Das Resultat ist dann im Wortsinne: Blech.

Oh, a photo-filtered picture, we’ll laugh at our younger selves, shaking our heads. I know when that one’s from. Maybe we’ll also laugh about that phase we went through where we hung out in private hidey-holes on mobile like Path, WhatsApp, Viber, Tango and SnapChat, eschewing the drama of lives lived in public on the social backbone that is Facebook. Or maybe not.

Raising a child while technology moves at a rapid-fire rate must be terrifying. Younger generations than mine define what it means to be a digital native, which is intimidating enough. But the same morals that shaped a good person 20 years ago still apply today; no social media platform or device will change that.

When you first proposed Godwin's Law, it stated, simply, "As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches 1." In other words, such a comparison is, eventually, inevitable. Would you give it the same definition today?The only thing I would say is that it turns out not to be limited to online discussions.

Recent accounts of Hugo Chávez's politicized necrophilia may seem almost too lurid to believe, but I can testify from personal experience that they may well be an understatement.

„In unserem Land wird nicht zutreffend über Kriminalität berichtet“, schrieb er und kritisierte die „wachsende Dramatisierung des Bösen“. Gute Nachrichten würden verschwiegen. „Liegt es vielleicht daran, dass Gewerkschaftsfunktionäre und Innenminister in der Sorge vereint sind, die Finanzminister könnten bei Kenntnisnahme der positiven Entwicklung auf die Idee kommen, im großen Stil Planstellen der Polizei zu kürzen?“

Ich will nicht behaupten, dass alles was in Blogs steht mittlerweile gekauft ist. Wer sich jedoch ein bisschen auskennt wird wie ich in Frage stellen, wie die mittlerweile wirklich perverse Blogger-Betüddelung von Marken mit der Unabhängigkeit von Blogbeiträgen einher geht.

It's become common practice for Silicon Valley-based tech firms, like Google, Apple, and Facebook, to shuttle its employees to and from work on Wi-Fi equipped private buses with cushy, leather seats. But Rebecca Solnit recently argued that these buses are partly to blame for gentrification, mass displacements, and increased housing costs.

To oversimplify greatly: Martin analyzes nearly 300 children’s books and finds that there is a marked tendency for these texts to represent certain animals in particular kinds of jobs. Jobs that allow the occupant to exercise authority over others tend to be held by predatory animals (especially foxes), but never by “lower” animals (mice or pigs).
