I had an unvaccinated child in my class get one of the childhood diseases while I was pregnant. When I tried to get the child transferred into another class the parents felt I was violating their child’s rights. It was a nightmare!

No, they haven’t been punished enough. Feeling bad about breaking law doesn’t mean you get to break the law in a way that leads to death without penalty.

I get that sentiment a lot;however, i am an art conservator and I saw first hand how her paintings effected the national parks. It isn’t as simple as “make her clean it up”. The clean up has to be done in an ethical way which ensures that the environment she negatively effected isn't further effected. This is an…

Damn right. This is the kind of person who thinks she’s mediating some deep conversation between the earth and humanity with her cat-scratch and so thinks she’s just misunderstood. (Meaning she won’t stop.)

That was a great show! But ya, he did the heavy lifting there.

anna, if you do hear from desiree, please let her know that there are quite a few jezzies who want to help by starting a gofundme page for her legal fees if that’s something she’d be interested in.

The only time your principles are ever worth anything is when they’re inconvenient.

That’s a not moral quandry. The moral position is obvious.

Not to bury the lede, but let’s give a huge nod to Vanderbilt for being proactive on this, especially being that it was four football players (usually a protected class):

Can we swap this asshole for Anton Yelchin? I’d rather this waste of space be in the ground than sweet Anton.

Unfortunately, the Amish community houses a large percentage of the worst and most horrific puppy mills in the country, so it’s almost certainly more of an Amish thing than a serial killer thing (though the Amish community has also had massive problems with ignoring and covering up rape and sexual abuse, so probably…

I also adore Patton Oswalt and I’ve only ever heard good stories about him so he’s someone I would love to have a conversation with over wine or vodka or Clearly Canadian if he doesn’t drink :) and I meant to respond earlier with how much I respect comedians and what they do. It has to be difficult to put yourself out…

Listen, I don’t really care what gun control is enacted; it wouldn’t affect my ability to buy a gun, but I can’t help but thinking that focusing on assault weapons is misplaced. Not that I begrudge anyone working on that, but as a practical matter assault weapons are responsible for a minuscule number of deaths in…

Also not denying appropriation. But I thought dropping g’s was typical of all US accents. I’m probably going to start paying a lot more attention now.

Came in to make this exact post. “Joey with his teenie pizza!”

My kids are fucking awesome. I hope they someday scream in your ear at a hip restaurant for 3 hours.

Did you love her when she was slut shaming Farah Abrams? She is dumb, vapid, and worst of all, think she’s actually brilliant. She is the actual worst — the “I’m literally a supermodel but I’m ‘real’ amd ‘authentic’ because I eat take pictures eating burgers and instagram the stretchmarks on my perfect long supermodel…

I wish I could phase out of reality for a few decades and come back and take a US history college course to see how this year is remembered.

That’s a heavily utilitarian and zero-sum view of friendship.

I think creepy does depend. For example: "Is it creepy to talk about who to have sex with when discussing a chart?"
