Fake accents, puppies, and adult guidelines for Paddington.

Well I'm reading the 4-hour body - and we both read david and goliath. i know some of these are cheesy but it seems like a good list.

mmm

do you want to run a marathon?

I want to try this quiz at home

more puppies? yes please!

is there something you want to tell me about paddington bear?

responses!

1. yale law professor jed rubenfeld (husband of amy chua) wrote an oped in the nyt about sexual assault, which i thought was a good article. yale law students disagreed. (there's a link to rubenfeld's article in that article. i'd link to the article directly but i'm out of new york times articles for the month). i think one of the comments has it right - most of these trials are secret so how do we know what the typical case is like? how do we know what the thorniest problems are? affirmative consent seems like a recipe for problems. and why are women so afraid of reporting rape to the police? if it's as predatory as the yale law students believe it to be, women should "ovary up" and report to the police. are women just less likely to report crimes?

also, the yale law students sound as logical as normal feminists. i'm team rubenfeld.

3. this links to the pork belly video. does princeton have a pork belly problem?

4. hmm if you agree not to get christmas or birthday presents for the next ten years...

5. i identify with every one!

6. do you understand what scarlett johansson did wrong that she had to resign from oxfam? but yes, wrong side of history - i don't know if it's bullying so much as weak. it's the "everyone will be doing it" peer pressure model.

7. i'm over small plates. they say we can only make a certain number of decisions every day and that just adds to the too many things to think about. just give me an entree that i know will fill me up! almost makes me want to go to simple olive garden. almost.

r2r
6. no but i think i need a mandolin to do vegetable spaghetti?
