rarely do i take pleasure in someone else’s visible suffering, but this piece of fucking basura deserves everything coming to him. just can’t believe the outcome; a former white cop, an all-white jury, and (as you say) the brave women who are the most vulnerable in our society did not inspire confidence in our fucked…

Watching that monster cry and shake was the closest thing to any kind of justice I’ve felt in a long while. Fuck him and may the brave women who shared their stories find peace.

...because Mike Millen wasn’t available to tell us about player evaluation?

Maybe. But I was pretty much fully functional. My job requires a graduate degree and a professional license and I manage. I suppose I wouldn’t have been fit for a job that required being on call 24/7/365.

It is generally agreed that the ethos of keeping salary information secret in any business is primarily for the benefit of the employers to the detriment if the employees.

Not fun fact: I am related to the Bushes. My mom was dandled on Prescott Bush’s knee as a child. I wish she’d peed on it. :’(

Ughhhh, dying. We should be pen palssssss.

My grandfather didn’t move in as aristocratic circles, but he and my great grandfather were groundskeepers for three of the Rockefeller families in Greenwich, and so ran across the various high and mighty of the day — he had exactly the same opinion as your great-aunt. (Well, he said whiny mama’s boys, but close…

The implication was that they’re all cowardly sissy-boys.

Mass shootings just this year. Just. This. Year. Interactive map at the link. I don’t know, maybe it’s time to do something about the proliferation of military hardware in this country?

You think that wasn’t planned in fine detail by committee? She wouldn’t have brought it up if she hadn’t tested several answers and chosen a strategy for responding first.
