I’ve rewatched the ad at least three times to try and figure out why some folks are angry with it and I’m at a loss.
All I see here is: Be a better human. Set a better example. Encouraging
strength of character and integrity over typical “machismo”.
“How dare you suggest that men who behave badly should change their attitude and be better, you buncha SJW?”
Gillette: There is no excuse for men not to behave like decent human beings and it’s important to be a good person both for yourself and to set a good example for future generations
Whiny Misogynists On Twitter: HOW DARE U ATTACK ALL MEN LIKE THIS

Newsflash
Any man who looks at this and thinks this advert is an “Attack on men” is 100% definitely a piece of shit…because literally the only things it is saying is that men shouldn’t bully, insult, sexually harass or generally be shitty to other people or ignore it when they see others doing it… and the only men who’d have an issue with an ad saying that was bad are the people who do all of the above
It’s rather telling, isn’t it?
And honestly kind of pathetic especially the person who thinks that the people who made this ad should be “Fired”…for what, saying misogyny and being horrible to people are BAD?
The Times probably should have waited until after the Kavanaugh coverage slowed down, but then there probably would have just been some other big shit storm stirring up because every day is a hell day full of shit storms in the Trump Presidency, ensuring that every shitty thing he does gets buried in the latest shit storms.
apparently one whale years ago was observed doing this for hours and now more and more whales in the area are seen copying it so we think it’s a whole new behavior and it seems to be a response to shrinking food sources.
Instead of expending any energy actively hunting, the whale just holds its mouth open wherever fish are being hunted by birds. To escape the birds, the fish try to hide in the whale’s mouth because it’s a darker area that looks like shelter.
…They’re turning into giant, sea-mammal pitcher plants.
What is interesting is there is a heron (black heron) that hunts via similar methods (using shade as bait for fish). I do not think it is a learned behavior for them though. Paralel evolution is buck wild. You can reach similar outcomes through wildly different evolutionary methods and paths. Eg - in whales it is their big brains at work - with herons it is instictual - and with pitcher plants it is automatic.
Yeah little creatures love to hide so a number of predators have taken advantage of that and what’s EXTRA fucked up is that another example includes a starfish:
i’m fairly confident the reason everyone assumes Curiosity is about the size of a dog is because informal NASA press (and by extension, the general culture of people who care abt what NASA’s up to) talks about Curiosity like it is, in fact, an unusually smart and self-aware pet, and i think that’s beautiful.
