very cool, zack

Exactly - that’s like complaining a fire alarm is hurting your ears as you burn to death in your own house.

In John’s defense, the world was significantly less on fire when Last Week Tonight started.

Sir? Just one question: how much is the democratic conspiracy paying you to deny me my essential liberties? If masks work then why is H.I.V. still a thing? And you know, no one complains this much about the annual death toll of the flu. Seems pretty sus that the mark of the beast as described in the book of…

Yep, same here. People are going to complain here about “PolItIcS iN mY kOtAkU” and whatnot, but I think it’s pretty interesting to learn they have an arcade at the President’s retreat. And not just an arcade, but they have Mario Kart machines? That’s pretty cool.

This ain’t CNN. When Kotaku runs a story about politics, it has a connection to video games. Also, did you not read the story? After the video game stuff, it takes a shot at Biden for the missing checks.

If you want your relief you ought to be screaming at the Senate (in particular, but not exclusively, its Republican half) not at Biden.

Wait, we’re not supposed to critique liberal academics because that gives ammunition to conservatives? Hard disagree.

“yelling at the ocean for being wet isn’t going to change anything”

Except apparently it does; the Forbes article makes it clear their feelings are deeply hurt when we call them names. Ergo, calling them names can be considered a public service, because every one of these fuckers should feel like absolute shit at all…

1. Invent some story about being abused by a public figure

3/10 trolling try harder please

Also, as Carpenter notes, abusers often make their victims feel like they are to blame and even want to protect the abusers. As someone who has suffered some abuse, I can say from my personal experience that it took me getting out of the relationship to be able to see the relationship clearly. I told myself all…

And Charisma Carpenter HAS been speaking about this for years! Yes, she was more cagey about it but she never ever hid why she got fired.

Agreed. The truth of this situation is actually:

Conservatives making political capital out of Naomi Wolf being abjectly wrong doesn’t mean Naomi Wolf was right, especially when her defence of being wrong provides conflation for even worse people to point to. 

Is it treating both parties fairly to assume one is right and the other is wrong when you know absolutely nothing of what actually went down? And then to go around posting online that one side is totally right? 

18 of the 20 charges regarding that case have been dropped. The other 2 are against Rosario’s mother, not Rosario herself.

She may not be? Idk why we’d believe one side over the other on this one? She’s not shown any signs of terfness outside the claims of one person?

Yeah, but last I heard, all the accusations against her were dropped by the man, his lawyer left the case and there was no settlement to explain it away. Accusations can give people pause, sure, but these are people who knew each other for a long time and afaik there hasn’t been anything else on the radar about her…

I think she’s pretty dope. Opinions though.
