Nothing says respect like wrapping yourself in a flag blanket while you eat popcorn and fart on your couch.

I teach college students, mostly non-majors in STEM classes, and every class I teach dedicates a full hour to understanding what plagiarism is. We do an exercise, corrected and discussed in class, that every student has to complete before the first written assignment is due so that I am sure that all of my students…

I used “assbag” in an argument last week and felt GREAT. It’s a damn good swear.

I’m baffled by that transition. Also really curious to see what happens if Newsom is elected gov of CA and Trump gets a second term.

“Now we’re not just riding in the back seat, we’re actually being dragged behind the car.”

Also, I understand their position just fine. I just fundamentally disagree with the “fuck you, I’ve got mine” philosophy.

Of all the bands to ask to stay out of politics, they’re a poor choice. They’ve clearly aligned themselves with the left from the beginning. Eddie Vedder has been an outspoken opponent of previous republican administrations. The man has a tattoo of the Earth First logo!

Ok, just so I understand, kneeling during the national anthem is disrespecting the flag, but using the flag to wipe your cheeto fingers on while lounging on the couch is fine?

Wait...he autographed photos of murdered people?

Jason Isbell’s twitter feed is a damn delight. And that reply made me lol.

I know this is far from the important take-away but man, “doing good immigration bills” made me want to punch a wall. His grammar is atrocious.

OMG. That tweet. Nielsen is defending ripping families apart and traumatizing children and we’re supposed to feel bad that a non-violent protest “disrupted the dinners of dozens of people”? 

This is fantastic

This is a fantastic piece. I hope to read more of your voice here.

She immediately came to mind for me as well. It’s a small comfort that Eurydice’s murderer is in custody. I still remember the palpable fear in Seattle...wondering who had killed Mia and if he was going to do it again. What an awful time, and a truly remarkable spirit taken too soon. 

Thank you. My problem with this shitty advice from men is that it discounts how much work women put into just doing normal activites like going for a run. How small should we make our lives in order to be safe?

“sometimes he gets black customers who are visibly uncomfortable with having a white bartender.”

Kalief Browder’s story is a nightmare. Good on Annabella Sciorra for tying together the strings of racism, sexism and classism that hold up our (in)justice system.

I had some real problems with Gavin Newsom when he was in SF politics, but I am loving him going after the POTUS and his bullshit.

“Maurice” was the first movie I saw Hugh Grant in. I have thought in all subsequent movies, when he was having trouble with finding/keeping a romantic relationship with a women, “It’s because you’re gay, dummy”.
