  1. It would take lots of self control not to nudge someones's arm into their face while they were drinking after doing this.

  9. ON REACTING TO BAD NEWS – Anthony Bourdain – Medium
    In these current circumstances, one must pick a side. I stand unhesitatingly and unwaveringly with the women. Not out of virtue, or integrity, or high moral outrage — as much as I’d like to say so — but because late in life, I met one extraordinary woman with a particularly awful story to tell, who introduced me to other extraordinary women with equally awful stories. I am grateful to them for their courage, and inspired by them. That doesn’t make me any more enlightened than any other man who has begun listening and paying attention. It does makes me, I hope, slightly less stupid.

    Right now, nothing else matters but women’s stories of what it’s like in the industry I have loved and celebrated for nearly 30 years — and our willingness, as human beings, citizens, men and women alike, to hear them out, fully, and in a way that other women can feel secure enough, and have faith enough that they, too, can tell their stories. We are clearly at a long overdue moment in history where everyone, good hearted or not, will HAVE to look at themselves, the part they played in the past, the things they’ve seen, ignored, accepted as normal, or simply missed — and consider what side of history they want to be on in the future.

    It's funny but like I'm disgusted by the way sanders and the white house treat her. But it means she's a badass reporter bc she asks the questions they don't want to answer. I hate SHS with a passion.

    I'm genuinely unsure if SHS or her brother who mutilated a stray dog with a stick is a worse human being

    I sometimes work with the Ohio Organizing Collaborative, which has good membership in East Liverpool and strongly opposes Trump. I understand the area is right leaning, but it isn't entirely right. Also, my other point was that when it comes to pollution, no administration has provided adequate oversight in East Liverpool. What are your thoughts on the air pollution issues there as a community member? My background: I live and work in Akron, but have handled litigation and administrative cases in EL, but never lived there. I helped on that NYT article btw.

    Oh yes, I know the area pretty well. Are you from there? It'd be weird to have 3 people in this thread so familiar with East Liverpool, Ohio.
