I find it delicious that it was a Disney filmmaker who bought the lemmings off kids and let them run into the river (luckily they can swim).

The first issue is that it's too long, so none of his ticky-tocky-tribe even read it. Joking aside, the review doesn't feel over the top or unfair and given that any review is an opinion piece, it's the reaction that was way

I have almost 6% myself, but to me it feels like, if I don't even know about who it might have been in my family tree, it doesn't really count. But yes, for EM it said "Ashkenazi;Balkan;British Irish" - no percentages in

To me it does feel much worse if one company is singled out. But, yes, bring back the Sherman Antitrust Act with good enforcement. Personally, I think much of this is in large parts the fault of one party that likes to systematically defund

Just to mention it, once I learned a little more about intersex people I very much feel for them: They often need the same medication that is now restricted due to anti trans legislation. They are also caught in stupid bathroom laws. I do b

I agree with a bunch of what's said at the beginning of this. Dialog is the way, cancelling is not. But then he started to lose me: > the biological fact that our sex is determined at conception by an X or a Y sperm. Ever heard of p
