And yet he had no hesitation in playing the race card when it looked like Anita Hill’s credible accusations of sexual harassment against him might derail his nomination, calling it a “high tech lynching”. Right wingers have absolutely no self awareness or shame.

Kid? He’s 34. And he’s probably not that worried about the Twitch 3 day ban, since he’s currently in Berlin playing the FIDE Grand Prix with a good chance to qualify for the Candidates Tournament and possibly challenge for the World Chess Championship. 

A friend of mine sent me the video clip of Fucker Carlson interviewing Hawley and the producers not so subtly put a list of “negative” items about Judge Jackson up, next to two cases where she supposedly gave child porn offenders light sentences was this gem: “Praised aspects of the 1619 Project”. This is all part of…

Bingo. Dude is raising all sorts of red flags.

I had that feeling the other day when Sen. Marsha Blackburn (Q-TN) tweeted this after the hearings for Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson:

Sure is strange how the “fuck your feelings” crowd gets in their feelings every time someone points out their racism.

Seriously. The man made a very public political move contrary to the hateful direction the majority of his party’s supporters and legislators want to move in, and here comes Jezebel bitching that he’s doing the right thing for something less than the most noble of reasons possible.

Either that or do your best Aunt Lydia impression.

The one time I liked and respected Lindsey Graham is when he observed quite accurately that “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”

the fear that trans women will eventually dominate women’s sports isn’t necessarily evidence of transphobia

Define “mediocre college swimmer”. She had a top 10 time nationally in the 1000 yard race in her freshman and sophomore years while racing for the men’s team, and top 100 time in both the 500 and 1650. She finished 2nd at the Ivy League championships in all three events in 2019. It’s not unreasonable to suggest that…

I think they’re referring to the reply by essence.

I’d bet my life’s savings that none of them could name last year’s winner of the 500 yard women’s NCAA title without looking it up.

The interesting thing to me is that none of the people who could theoretically argued they were most impacted by Thomas’ inclusion like the women who finished 2nd-4th in the 500 seem to be the ones complaining. So far, I’ve seen anonymous complaints from a couple of her Penn teammates, though the only two Penn…

he hopes the teen can “learn from his mistake,”

“One of the fundamental issues here is that Apple did not think of any of this when they were designing these tags.”

Yeah, if Silver Lake was actually “one of the most exclusive and expensive neighborhoods in L.A.”, the residents would be able to get the illegally parked cars ticketed and towed. Zero fucking chance a shop would be able to do this in Beverly Hills. 

I never understood the big issue with this - to be clear, I agree with you that it’s not a fraught question. Artists after all are just people, and people are often gigantic assholes, especially if they are coddled and their whims indulged due to their (perceived) talent. If someone still enjoys the person’s work,…

“There’s never been infidelity in our marriage,” he said. “Never. Jada and I talk about everything and we have never surprised one another with anything, ever.”

I know Watson got paid during his tacit suspension last year, but he still lost a year of his career. Without criminal charges, it seems like piling on to suspend him this year, especially since the team that acquires him is going to have to give up quite a bit in draft compensation.
