This is why I am so ambivalent about insisting that young women report sexual assault and harassment. Sexual violence is costly no matter what. But the people I’ve known who ended up dropping out of college or graduate school after their assault or being harassed weren’t worn down by the trauma of the event itself.…

Trigger warnings are not about censorship.

No. A “trigger warning” means, “I am going to teach X this term, and X might be traumatizing or otherwise upsetting if you have experienced Y before.” Censorship is not bothering to teach X at all.

Good point about Wisenhunt. It’s always so infuriating when a kid gets drafted top 5 and his dickhole coach has to make a point about “the system” and designs a bunch of plays he’s never seen before. God forbid you give your face-of-the-franchise a few opportunities to find his feet before JJ Watt tries to tear his…

Attention all news outlets:

I am filled with a child-like sense of joy and wonder.

That’s where the similarities stopped.

It’s hard to overstate just how badly I want Mariota to thrive and Winston to bust. The 30 for 30 on the Bucs’ decision would just be so glorious.

Samantha Bee had an excellent response to this

“According to Saeed Mamouzini, spokesperson for the Kurdistan Democratic Party, the woman struck back on September 5, murdering Abu Amas.”

My apologies the mention of Labor Day upsets you so much. Please accept this gif of Rick Santorum making a wanking motion as an olive branch. I’m sure it’s more your speed.

While you’re piling on Stanford’s founder, let’s not forget that Northwestern was founded by the guy who is widely blamed for the Sand Creek Massacre, acting as cheerleader while white folks butchered Native Americans during his term as governor of Colorado Territory.

How interesting that the team who tried to unionize beats the team from a school named after a racist robber baron on Labor Day weekend.

I just tell my single friends that if someone likes you, they like you. No game playing, no waiting 3 days to call. Yes I'm smug married but I dated enough shitty guys to know. It really goes both ways.

While I’ll concede that Atlanta got a better deal from the Falcons than many other cities have, city ownership of a stadium doesn’t mean a whole lot in terms of leverage when the stadium’s entire value is derived by the team continuing to play there. Without the Falcons, the city is the proud owner of a big, sad,…

You are an idiot. The new stadium has a projected cost of $1.4 billion dollars and $2.5 million a year will only cover a small fraction of the interest costs each year, to say nothing of the obscenity that was the demolition of the Mt Vernon Baptist church to make way for this blatant give-away.

I speak redneck. He’s saying that since the judge only has experience picking on weak people, he doesn’t realize that Kim Davis isn’t going to fold under this bullying. She’s stronger than that.

I'm waiting by my phone. Any second now. They're gonna call. I can sense it.

a player who almost definitely did what he was accused of

Roger Goodell is so incompetent that a guy who beat his girlfriend and threw her onto a couch full of assault rifles is now liking his chances of beating Goodell in court.
