“[Curiel’s] somebody, he’s proud of his heritage. And I think that’s great that he’s proud of his heritage. … You know, we have to stop being so politically correct in this country. And we need a little more common sense, John. And I’m not blaming. I’m proud of my heritage, we’re all proud of our heritage. But I want…

You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.

You had to figure something was up when Leonardo DiCaprio didn’t date her.

I am a single, childless people in my life!

Right. I think there’s “Was this cool?” vs. “Should this have been illegal?” The answer to both questions is clearly no, but let’s not lump them both into the same basket.

He’a going to lose this and lose this hard, which is what they want. This bathroom bill is just a smoke screen. The really terrible meat of the bill makes raising the minimum wage in the state illegal and strips a ton of LBGT rights away, such as housing protection and medical care.

MARK! *HUGS*

I’ve never taken business courses, but the popular strategy of “Lets change everything and eliminate the things that were our reason for existing” always seems weird to me.

My mind immediately went to this, which will now be in my head until I die.

He may still be upset that his child isn’t, in his eyes, perfect, but children are born with or develop all kinds of things, yet we only give a pass to parents of autistic kids to publicly spout insane conspiracy theories. Why aren’t we seeing parents of kids with other conditions, whether congenital, random or…

Guy with a Masters in Special Education and 17 years working with children with severe autism here: 1. Fuck you DeNiro, you degenerate piece of garbage. 2. The causes of autism are widely accepted as a mess of disparate factors.....the age of the father, a heightened level of testosterone in the mother, genetics ( a…

This is such a wildly privileged opinion. Real people will get hurt under Trump. SCOTUS will be changed. Laws will be passed. The military will be deployed, affecting people around the globe. I get that you want a different political system but this is the one we live in. Don’t throw others under the bus in your quest…

Banana Republic has the same problem that J. Crew has. Part fit/style issues, but the main problem is that the quality has been steadily declining for over a decade and price points have stayed steady or increased (beyond normal inflation). No one wants to remain loyal to a store that keeps throwing crappily made…

Maybe these religious organizations should start paying some taxes before they think they can decide what is and isn’t covered by health care.

I love that, for these people, filling out a two page form is an "undue burden" but 48 hour waiting periods and making women drive 400 miles to the nearest Women's Health clinic isn't.

Life in prison is not “getting a free pass.”

I think you’re what you’re saying is doing a disservice to those with mental illness, as it implies that no matter what kind of “normalization” (for lack of a better word) they’ve achieved with their treatment, they’re never *truly* responsible for their actions, which just robs them of their agency.

But why would you want someone in your life who says horrible things they don’t mean? And not just to you, but to the other people you love? I’m all for being supportive but there comes a point where a person’s actions, no matter where those actions stem from, are just unacceptable. Mental illness isn’t an excuse to…

I disagree. Sometimes, you don’t realize how toxic a person was for you until you get some time and distance. 25 years ago, one of my best friends and I had a massive falling out. She cut contact with me - because SHE had done something awful and then she got upset that I dared to be angry about the thing she did.

I knew this would happen.
