Same person, different face. Same software, different case.

There’s this emperor and he asks this shepherd’s boy, How many seconds in eternity? And the shepherd’s boy says, There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it, and an hour to go around it. Every hundred years, a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed! You must think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s a H E L L O F A B I R D

2 Muslim American women were kicked off an American Airlines flight for making staff feel “unsafe.”

Niala Mohammad, a senior broadcast journalist and producer for Voice of America, and her unidentified friend, who declined to be named to BuzzFeed because she works for the federal government, were on the delayed American Airlines Flight 2239 that was sitting on the tarmac for more than three hours, according to BuzzFeed.

To help the time go by, Mohammad was watching Pakistani dramas on her iPhone. Her friend started conversing with a nearby male passenger about the delay, mentioning that no food or water was given to passengers. It was during this time a male flight attendant approached Mohammad’s friend and told her that she could get off the plane if she wasn’t pleased with the service.

After further conflict with the flight attendant, an American Airlines customer relations representative asked them to come to the front with their belongings. Once they reached the ramp, a number of air marshals and Miami-Dade police officers were waiting to escort the two. Mohammad believes her ethnicity played a big part in it.

Repeating: “See something, say something” is dangerous and pointless, because there are a lot of stupid, easily panicked people out there. This is profiling, and I just want to wish a big, hearty, “Go fuck yourself” to the people who will reflexively defend or justify it.

Do you believe in Equality of Outcome or Equality of Opportunity?

I don’t believe in either.

OK…

This false dichotomy is the new way people would like to talk about inequality so that they can feel OK actually fighting against a more equal society. They say, “Of course I want equality…I want everyone to have the same opportunity, but you can’t have everyone have the same outcome, that’s bad and dumb and would ruin America. So don’t take away the millions of dollars I have earned so that people who don’t work can buy TVs and new cars!”

But equality of outcome and equality of opportunity are in fact the same thing. If I have more because of my hard work, my children will have more because of my hard work (not their’s) and this is the thing that every parent wants and will fight for. Inequality of outcome inevitably leads to inequality of opportunity. This is an unavoidable state of the world.

So I don’t even believe in either kind of equality. There will never be absolute equality and we shouldn’t have absolute equality. I believe that radical inequality is a bad thing.

We don’t need no inequality, we need less inequality…like the kind where the people with little have like 100 times or 1000 times less than the people with lots. But not 10,000,000 times, because that’s a recipe for social disorder.
