Whoever defines the categories defines who is a bigot, who is a victim, who is an oppressor, with measures like this.

From the article : "By several measures, there really is no STEM gender gap in higher education. There are now more women than men earning STEM bachelor's degrees and there are more women than men enrolled in STEM graduate programs for master's and doctoral degrees.

... according to several measures, women are actually slightly over-represented in STEM graduate programs and earn a majority of STEM college degrees. A lot depends on how we define “Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)” and that definition is fairly fluid and subject to various interpretations. "

Thinking Fast and Slow speaks to the Availability Heuristic - we care more about issues that are presented to us and are available in recent memory even if they're objectively less important than other issues we know about but aren't as readily available to our thinking. The press we expose ourselves to determines what we think is important.

I didn't get all the way through Thinking Fast and Slow before I had to returned it to the library, but it's fascinating and I look forward to finishing it - and likely re-reading it.

@NPR this is excellent news, like when left coast tech companies choose to voluntarily sponsor climate stuff or fund their local failing public schools or homeless needs in their failing cities.

Even the big government left can see that it doesn't require federal or global policy to make a change, we all can at the individual, community, corporate and local government levels.

Obama administration used tear gas at border once a month

The same tear gas agent that the Trump administration is taking heat for deploying against a border mob this weekend is actually used fairly frequently — including more than once a month during some years under President Obama, according to Homeland Security data.

“The facts are, the policy written under President Obama allows us to use tear gas to disperse a crowd that was very dangerous,” he told the network.

So yet again we have outrage at Trump for doing what Obama did. I don't know that you're seeing things clearly if things are always okay for "us" to do but bad for "them" to do.

Love that there's #noBias here. I'm sure they contrasted the previous presidents praise for Iran against his attacks against the courts and police. Where was that...will report back when I find that unbiased reporting...

We were told by the left that not only is this not a problem, but she could even set up a personal server, kept in a bathroom in Denver, and send not only messages, but classified information, then wipe the server when it came into question.

How is this newsworthy?

So relieved. The money, power, and influence were obviously not enough. Finally they gave awards to each other on TV and got their due.

I don't recall @NPR dismissing protestors where the protest agrees with their bias because of what fraction of the population is actively present at a protest. But as there is #noBias and no #fakenews I'm looking forward to it.

Strangely Trump got the media to say : it's because McRaven isn't a Clinton fan that he's credible.

Just watched Instant Family. Awesome, accurate, well cast, really great.
