NotesBadass Dad of the Day: “It has become a morning habit to sing ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ on the way to school in the morning,” says Best Dad Ever. “Depending on traffic, we can usually start the song as we pull out of the driveway, and pull into the school just as the song ends.”

Big Reveal of the Day: After 25 years, Simpsons creator Matt Groening spills the beans on Springfield: “Springfield was named after Springfield, Oregon. The only reason is that when I was a kid, the TV show Father Knows Best took place in the town of Springfield, and I was thrilled because I imagined that it was the town next to Portland, my hometown. When I grew up, I realized it was just a fictitious name. I also figured out that Springfield was one of the most common names for a city in the U.S. In anticipation of the success of the show, I thought, ‘This will be cool; everyone will think it’s their Springfield.’ And they do.”

Notes"Accordingly, Debord’s concept of spectacle may hold the greatest importance for a discussion of the big ideas of today because it serves as an emphatic reminder that unless we take pleasure in thinking dynamically about the role spectacles play in shaping our social existence, we will find ourselves as extras in whatever scene they establish. At a moment when the spectacle of the global stock market is increasingly taken for granted as an indisputable justification for dismantling various social programmes, we must learn to mobilise the critical resources of spectacle as ingeniously as Debord’s own text does.
Doing so will not only require that we continue to make a spectacle of our dissent, gleaning lessons from the protest movements taking shape around the world, from Wall Street to Cairo. It will also require that we redouble our efforts to challenge the systematic elimination of philosophy departments and humanities funding from university programmes all over the world – a project of austerity economics that deems the study of ideas simultaneously elitist, irrelevant to the “real” world and without market value. For as Debord makes clear, when we allow the pleasures of living and acting to become severed from the pleasures of thinking and looking, The Society of the Spectacle can mean only one thing. And it will do so until we learn to reconnect them.

Notes"[Stop] seeing conversations as a means to an end, and… avoid stereotyping the other person. And… learn the “six ways to have a better conversation”: 1. Be curious about others; 2. Take off your mask; 3. Empathise with others; 4. Get behind the job title; 5. Use adventurous openings; 6. Have courage." -

“Why extremists always focus on women remains a mystery to me. But they all seem to. It doesn’t matter what country they’re in, or what religion the claim, they all want to control women. They want to control how we dress, they want to control how we act, they even want to control the decisions we make about our own health and our own bodies…Even here at home we have to stand up for women’s rights and reject efforts to marginalized any one of us.”

A nation of women are being slut shamed for political gain. If that is what some conservatives would like to call informed, educated women who chose to have children later in life or not at all, then I am one and I stand with every single one of them.
