Thank you for your incredible, insistent, thoughtful, and well-written coverage of this story. Thank you.

Some guys kneel to protest police killing surrendering black people without cause: fans everywhere lose their goddamn minds. National outrage, boycotts of the NFL, protests at stadiums, t-shirts are printed, the POTUS weighs in, massive media coverage for months and years, hot takes for days, high level meetings,…

Okay, I’ll grant you not a water buffalo, possibly a juvenile pair of cape buffalo (what, you think people don’t tag their buffalo?) But I maintain that nobody on earth would slap domestic cattle into the ring with lions, wolves, crocs, and grizzlies!

That would be bizarre, considering all the other options are wild animals. Hard to tell in that little thumbnail, but I’m assuming they’re Cape Buffalo or Water Buffalo.

Yep. No contest.

I pick the seven water buffalo.

I had to read that twice to be sure I wasn’t imagining things. Holy fucking shit.

I’m going to print out the entirety of Deadspin’s (excellent, in fact unparalleled) coverage of the Nassar case, and bind it, with this article on top. The next clueless dude who informs me that women don’t need to fight for equality anymore, or that we get too much sympathy for sexual harrassment and abuse…

I second this motion.

How about we expect better from the writers on our feminist sites? This is just a bad article with faulty premises and yes, a bad title. Saying so is absolutely NOT comparable to #notallmen.

Seconded. I don’t recognize any of the definitions she’s using in her ‘waves.’

Raw water is the richest, whitest, bullshittiest rich white people bullshit thing since Tom Brady’s “alkaline diet.” Oh, and remember that BLK water people were buying up like crazy a while back? That was alkaline too and another bullshitty thing. Why is it always water? Why are the bugfuck crazy white folks always…

Fear is the best weapon of anyone fighting against you or trying to control you. It’s a paralytic, a mind-number, a demotivator, it saps will and energy and intelligence and strength. Accepting a state of fear as a default is basically admitting defeat. While I absolutely agree with Joanna about the stupid, twee,…

(sorry. POTENTIALLY disease-ridden, etc.)

MMmmm, I love the smell of pseudoscience in the morning! Between this asshat and the Cutler’s disease-ridden, unvaccinated spawn, maybe the football players really will be the first to go when the plague returns.

Sometimes laws change and you have to keep obeying them, old lady. Sorry, them’s the breaks.

That said, I really wish people would relax with the “adopt don’t shop” fervor. I don’t think ANY animals should ever, ever be sold in pet stores. But breeders? There’s a reason purebred dogs came to be: people want…

I think they should go with “aged zygote” instead of “unborn child”

But, but her EMAILS

Double-plus-ungood.

I can only hope that the CDC extends an evidence-based middle finger directly back towards the White House.

He’s awful. Uneven reins. Unsteady seat. Position completely wrong. I saw him almost fall twice. I teach riding and have ridden at the pro level. He’s awful. He’s hurting the horse. This whole video scarred my eyes. Using horses as props is stupid, dangerous, and foul, and anyone who knows anything about horses are…
