It’s not just the Right Wing. I saw similar sentiments being expressed on the Facebook page of a prominent Democrat, a young gay lobbyist who worked on the Clinton campaign. He said that Ellison had been part of a Muslim “terrorist organization.”

Nope, she just left it at a generic “rights.” I thought “Yeah, lady, but white women did have the power to point at a random black person on the street, claim they looked at her funny and probably end up getting them killed. So there’s that.”

Turning it over to for-profit providers with little if any oversight? I’m pretty sure that’s going to make it worse.

People can be non-white - even black - and still have an exaggerated and irrational fear of young black men because we live in a culture that frequently portrays young black men as extraordinarily dangerous and violent.

Yeah, I’m sure it has nothing, nothing at all to do with how complicated it is to develop vaccines for highly-adaptive viruses. I have friends who have worked on HIV vaccine research here in the States and friends who have participated in failed vaccine trials here as well, despite the possible risks to their health.…

Well, regardless of price, I doubt that an HIV vaccine would really do much good for people with HIV.

You’re happier not knowing. Trust me.

This is so horribly, horribly wrong and I love it so much I want to hug it.

You really need to work on improving your social circle, lady.

Holy shitsnacks. That is the kind of stuff the weird pervy kid who sat behind you in math class and later got arrested because they found a human leg in his fridge would draw on the back of his homework assignments.

This. She’s pretty well-known, even by her own accounts, for saying rude, insulting things to celebrities she’s just met socially. I can easily imagine her repeatedly sniping at Hamm during a party then playing the victim when he finally got fed up and snapped back.

So Kathy Griffin is shaming drunk Jon Hamm for saying the kind of rude things Kathy Griffin says when she’s sober? 

It sounds like something you would hear on Bates Motel or a Dateline NBC special about Sante and Kenneth Kimes.

When that Jurassic Park movie came out I honestly thought it starred Jessica Chastain right up until I was halfway through watching it on HBO a year later.

Why hasn’t the FDA banned Glyphosate?

Food safety inspection and recalls, land management (the U.S. Forest service is part of the USDA, preventing the introduction of non-native invasive plant and pest species among many other things.

Can’t reveal why I know what I know because it would dox someone but Galloway’s time as Chair at UBC has been, at best, troubled. It seems driven by the university’s desire to have a “star” that would drive enrollment in the department rather than by a desire for scholarship.

Nah. Before becoming a jury consultant and meeting Oprah, he had to give up his license because he refused to cooperate with an investigation about him having inappropriate relationships with female patients.

If one is “employed at Amazon” in Tennessee it means you work at a fulfillment center for minimum wage for a third party employment agency that protects Amazon from labor violation penalties. There have been numerous lawsuits about the labor exploitation that goes on in Amazon centers. Employees are frequently…

You are more concerned about the baby than the woman who was so desperate to terminate a pregnancy that she was willing to put a sharp object inside her with no anesthesia and risk bleeding to death. It’s good to know your empathy is so limited that you have to parcel it out in dribs and drabs to those you determine…
