“Choking” is strangulation. It is attempted murder. It can and does cause strokes and brain damage.
There is no safe strangulation because you cannot use a safe word when you’re losing consciousness.
Strangulation restricts blood to the brain. It has nothing to do with breath.
It’s a DTMFA event.

If you don't use ALT out of consideration for people who are visually impaired, do it because half the time your image does not on its own clearly convey (even to those without impairment) whatever the hell you think it conveys.

There's a song whose lyrics involve being in a cab in New York (Brooklyn specifically iirc) and whose narrator says she was up until late on day n, immediately clarifying that this entails being up until early on day n+1. What is this song?

How hard would it be to say, "Excuse me, Mr. President, that comment is offensive. Our colleague asked a legitimate question that deserves a respectful answer." Every member of the White House press corps should be prepared to say something similar when Trump attacks a colleague.

2. As a tenured law prof, Warren knows it is a VERY big deal from a labor standpoint to call on Harvard to ignore tenure. The bar for this is HIGH.

Counterpoint: it's fine for Universities to cut ties with people for being sex creeps. In fact, it's a positive good. Far too many women avoid academia precisely because of shitheads like Summers.

I have no sympathy for any of Summers’ comments. But universities should not cut ties with people whose comments and/or private associations they find odious, even when they are right. If he violated either the law or university regulations, fine. Otherwise, not so much.
