Sex is not the problem. Sexism is the problem. The fact that some guys can’t seem to tell the difference is also a huge, ugly problem. #MeToo #TimesUp

We’re Not Done Here | Laurie Penny – “Sex is not the problem. Sexism is the problem, along with the upsetting multitudes of men and women who seem unable or unwilling to make the distinction.” Men. It’s time to change.

So fantastic.
High Seas High Jinks by Radical People – “In this episode of Radical People, Eamon speaks with his friend High Jinks, who has spent the past few years learning how to sail. Since learning this skill from various anarchist sailors, she began to work with a group called Women on Waves, whose goal is to bring women out to international waters so that they can have legal abortions.”
5. On Abortion | The Sisterhood – “Laurie and Eleanor Penny discuss the crackdown on legal abortion around the world, and look at how the issue intersects with race, workers’ rights and women’s agency over their own bodies.”

Trump’s first year In numbers – “What a year! We run down 12 presidential months in numbers, from playing golf and shaking hands to not building border walls” 73 days spent playing golf.
Charges Dropped Against 129 Trump Inauguration Protestors — But Dozens Still Face Prison – “on Thursday, the U.S. Attorney’s office dismissed charges against an additional 129 defendants. That leaves just 59 defendants still facing trial in connection with the January 20, 2017, protest.” Good and bad news.

Scientists just recalibrated our future climate scenarios and we need to pay attention – “If this study is proved correct, it wouldn’t change our best guess of what the future would look like under climate change – but it would make the worst-case scenario slightly less catastrophic,” Sanderson said.” This will be fodder for the sceptics, but important anyway.
5 Ways Capitalist Logic Has Sabotaged the Scientific Community – “Academics should be collaborating, not competing for pseudoscientific rankings.” This system swallows everyone.
The Donald Trump of Mexican Wrestling – “How one American is channeling national anger in lucha libre and looking to revitalize wrestling in the U.S.” Take this, Donald.
Meet Antifa’s Secret Weapon – “Antifa was a level of mad about racism and fascism that I was glad to see. They were definitely not quiet rainbow peace people.”
In Germany, online hate speech has real-world consequences – “A new study finds that anti-refugee rhetoric on Facebook is correlated with physical attacks” Obvious, but now there is a study to prove it.
Peter Thiel submits bid for Gawker, faces challenges – “Venture capitalist Peter Thiel has made an offer for Gawker, hoping to overcome legal hurdles and rival bidders for the online news site the billionaire helped shutter by funding litigation against it, people familiar with the matter said on Thursday.” This dude is proof positive how certain people should not be this filthy rich.
The company that runs Britain is near to collapse. Watch and worry – “Carillion builds schools, roads, hospitals – and it’s meant to be a big part of HS2. What’s more, if it goes bust, the bill will be picked up by taxpayers” Crony capitalism.
A Modest Proposal: #ProtectTheTruth – George Lakoff – “This is about ideas and language in our politics, and who controls them. This about more than just one president — it’s about the Republican Party and authoritarians everywhere who seek to destroy the truth and attack the public good.” It will not and it cannot be ignored. But some of the other thoughts here are great.

Die Verschwörungstheorien der „Klimawandelskeptiker“ – “Der Klimawandel ist eine wissenschaftliche Tatsache.
