Going to Anaheim in three weeks for a trade show and I couldn’t hate the idea of it more. It’s one of the worst destinations we travel to.

It's pretty obvious you need to involve LSD on that trip

[blackjack68]

Perhaps

Is it just me or is this stuff happening more often now?

[dodint]

You have Twitter now.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Up to three years, that'll teach her.

Not just twitter for an easy searchable news database, but also as more people come forward it gives other victims confidence they'll be treated correctly. Also, because sexual harassment is now taught both ways. When we were younger it was a one way street and we would have been high fived for hooking up with a teacher.

I'm certainly not in the "babies shouldn't be on planes" camp, but that is a smart way to handle this. Very nice.

They need to find out a way to have one for jackass adults. I’ve seen more of those than crying infants.

[Gaucho]

True.

The conversation that starts at 14:00 mark - do any 5AF tech experts know/guess that "face recognition" scary app Kutcher talks about?

[NTP66]

This, perhaps?

Boy, 13, dies from injuries from alleged bullying attack in Southern California middle school

[NTP66]

Just awful, and the fact that the mother tried to get the school to address the bullying makes it that much worse. I hope the kid gets more than just a slap on the wrist.

[tifosi77]

Two kids have been charged in connection with the assault.

But, babies shouldn't be on planes, fam.

[Lemon Berry Lobster]

Then you'd have to drive everywhere

Then how the hell did the armed forces get you over to the Middle East?

[dodint]

We flew charters.

DES MOINES, Iowa — A Des Moines Register reporter who wrote about racist tweets posted years ago by an Iowa security guard is no longer employed by the Iowa newspaper because he also made offensive comments on social media.

Editor Carol Hunter wrote in a column posted online Thursday night that reporter Aaron Calvin “is no longer with the Register.”

The Register began investigating comments made by Calvin on Twitter after his story about Iowa security guard Carson King sparked outrage. The story profiled King, who gained national fame after he held a sign seeking beer money during an ESPN show and then promised to donate the more than $1 million that poured in to a children’s hospital.

In the story, Calvin noted King had posted two racist tweets more than seven years ago, when he was a teenager. People angered by the story found old tweets from Calvin that made offensive comments about race, gay marriage and other topics.
