Hank Green explaining/rambling through his favorite pictures from the Artemis 2 mission:

“Some of my favorite pictures are the ones that include the interior of the spacecraft that show the juxtaposition between the foreground of the interior of the capsule, the thing made by humans, that is very small, just a little submarine out in the ocean of everything, and then through that window taking up much less space, the little ball where everything is from.”

She recalled of these dinners:
I would say, "This is what I believe about I.Q. differences, I have 12 different studies that have been published over the years, here’s the journal that's put this stuff together, I believe that this is true, that race predicts I.Q. and that there were I.Q. differences in races." And they would come back with 150 more recent, more well researched studies and explain to me how statistics works and we would go back and forth until I would come to the end of that argument and I'd say, Yes that makes sense, that does not hold together and I'll remove that from my ideological toolbox but everything else is still there. And we did that over a year or two on one thing after another until I got to a point where I didn’t believe it anymore.[8]
In 2013, Black wrote a public statement to the Southern Poverty Law Center, publicly renouncing her views.

If it had taken place in a European country like Germany … he would have lost.
And as a German I say rightfully so.
We have something called Persönlichkeitsrechte, or literally “right of personality”, which encompass the right to personal honor, the right to one's name, or the right to one's own image. There doesn’t seem to be an English wiki article about the concept, only a German and French one, so I link the translation:

The right to one's own image , or the right of publicity, is a specific aspect of the general right of personality . It states that every person has the fundamental right to decide whether and in what context images of them are published. In the Anglo-American legal system, the right to one's own image is far more liberally defined than in German law.
Afroman should have pixelated the cops faces. The state invaded his home, not individual agents. If a cop would have been ill or on vacation or whatever they would have been replaced by a different officer. Also while I sympathize with Afroman as a victim of the almighty Leviathan there is also a power imbalance between him as a rich celebrity who can direct millions of YouTube views vs an individual police officers.

Women have sons and brothers though. Shouldn’t they be invested into increasing the fitness of their male children?
