Not doing an Arsenal-Tottenham live thread, but that goal was so easy, and the Arsenal midfield is looking dominant early.
My boys look hungry today. Let's push on lads.
We're merc-ing Tottenham right now at the Emirates. What half. No mercy.
Xhaka styling Son and the crowd shouting Ole at the passing. What a day. What a derby.

Mikel Arteta has bought himself some time for sure.

It's trivially true that being bullied has a non-zero heritability estimate.

Yet I think there's a lot wrong in suggesting that a person's genes *cause* them to be bullied.

The actions of others should not to be attributed to being caused by your genes. Paper on the heritability of being bullied
I think this comes down to the definition of the word cause by the way, and unsurprisingly, there is no consensus on what it means to cause (ask the philosophers).

We all have some of our own intuitions as to what we envision when we think of cause though.
If having genes that make you wear glasses can be said to *cause* bullying, then don't our genes cause us to be raped, murdered, or face racism?

I don't know how we can draw the line without it seeming arbitrary. That may be why the word cause is itself so fraught. Tough one.

The fact that nothing meaningful actually happened to this lecturer who insisted on using the n-word is the real shame here. Professor being a racist jerk saying he has the right to say
A white professor insisting he has the right to use the n-word to his black students and they shouldn't be complaining is probably a lot worse than the white moderates MLK was complaining about.

But of course he faces no real consequences.
Always interesting who these Cancel Culture Warriors tend to choose as their great examples of the horrors of "cancel culture".

Fighting for the rights of white men to say the n-word without complaint.

'"woke white dude tries to take down successful black man for having different opinions" is not a good look.

This in itself is a silly caricature and highlights that the "anti-woke" believe many of the same weird things they project onto the "woke"
There's nothing wrong with a white dude disagreeing vociferously with a successful black man. Come on now.

The content and the manner of the disagreement is important, as it is in every disagreement between any two humans.
So many "white dudes" disagree with me on here, and they should never feel bad simply for disagreeing with me, a "successful black man".

The content and the manner of the disagreement is important.

Burnley-Arsenal live thread. Is this the game that costs Arsenal manager Arteta his job?
#BURARS
Burnley are pressing early, hoping for an all too typical Arsenal defensive mistake.
Burnley doesn't give many opportunities, so Arsenal will need to be a lot more clinical and creative today than they have been so far.

I understand the point, but also think it's important to separate the idea of a high income and wealth.
A lot of first generation college graduates are now making over $100k, but given starting points, debt and family obligations, are just working on setting up a decent living for themselves and their kids.
I still think that as long as taxes target income more than wealth, it makes it harder for those coming from poor families to firmly establish themselves in the middle class.

"If Richard Spencer was marching for women’s rights, I’d have no issue marching next to him."

Fascists feast upon weak mentalities to harm their victims.

No, you absolutely never need to think it's a good idea to march with Nazis. Angel indicating he'd march with Nazis if he agrees with the
This isn't even such a foreign discussion, as eugenicists were complaining in Quillette that if we support women's rights to choose, we should stop opposing their own eugenic ideology so strongly. Eugenics Monthly wants more Eugenics
If it's your march and a Nazi shows up to march with you, you should make it clear you don't want to associate with Nazis.

It doesn't seem complicated, for most people.
