    While Phillips insists on labelling any solidarity with Palestinians “anti-Semitic”, she has argued that there is no such thing as Islamophobia. Writing in the same newspaper, she said that the very concept of Islamophobia is itself “anti-Semitic”. In her article “Don’t fall for bogus claims of ‘Islamophobia’”, she argued that concerns about anti-Muslim racism were being used to “silence any criticism of the Islamic world.”

  • The internet is suffering from commodification not irony. on top of all the ads people are happy to commodify themselves as if they don’t put in enough time doing that at work already

  • Just a fun tidbit: The guy who proposed the math for the many worlds hypothesis, Hugh Everett, was reportedly a huge asshole (and abused his own health) because he figured that in a lot of other versions he was a swell guy.

  • The law was introduced in 1983 after a spate of dowry deaths in Delhi and elsewhere in the country. There were daily reports of brides being burnt to death by their husbands and in-laws and the murders were often passed off as "kitchen accidents". Angry protests by female MPs and activists forced parliament to bring in the law.

    Whatever adjustment needs to be made it clearly shouldn’t involve repealing these protections. Litigious bullying surely doesn’t surpass burning women because they didn’t give your family enough money when you married them.

  • Tell your boss you’re sorry for leaving early and you have some “stuff” going on at home but that it won’t impact your work schedule anymore. If coworkers bring it up just ominously repeat that you’ve got some “stuff” going on. Maybe you just lost your dog with cancer, they don’t know and probably already assume your reaction was about something more than spelling. Laugh off everything else they might say.

    PS: I have a masters degree and still can’t spell well in English— it doesn’t have a consistent phonetics.

  • Perfectly fine for a boardroom to approve sending a low quality version of their baby formula to countries with low regulations and better quality to countries with more regulations. If the babies want the higher quality kind they should move to a better country!

  • Indeed, this post was inspired by a friend who spends an inordinate amount of time off the clock trying to get charts into just so shape so that claims go through. The exact way they want you to phrase stuff and what tests they need to see in the chart before approval changes regularly so practices basically have to hire a dedicated staff to keep up and let the doctors know about changes. Also results in small practices being driven out of business.
