A disproportionate number of my mom's favorite movies featured Diane Keaton: "The Godfather," "Baby Boom," the 90s "Father of the Bride," "The First Wives Club." I knew her best (for better or worse) from her work with Woody Allen. #RIP a phenomenal, versatile actress.

Rest In Peace, Diane Keaton. Obviously as authentic and unique as she was brilliantly talented. This one really hurts.

older than that. 17th century is 1600s. he's back-porting an extremely mid-20th-century archetype to (generously, assuming the very end of the 1600s) the time of the golden age of piracy and the glorious revolution.

A growing set of parents are raising “carnivore babies,” infants who skip purées and go straight to slabs of beef, sticks of butter, and whipped bone marrow. As if I already hated the thought of changing diapers…

Actually, I think the far-right is accurately identifying an existential issue.

So many of the most vehement far-right were either heavily bullied or did the bullying.

Teaching empathy to the next generation is fundamentally at odds with conservative political philosophy.

That's why they hate it.

NYT: A Campaign to 'Bring Back Bullying'

On social media, some are arguing that bullying deserves a second look. Trolling or not, the push seems to reflect a general turn away from sensitivity.
