It means just what it’s always meant. That the law will forbid the rich and the poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.

Also born to immigrants…

This is absolutely real. A friend had an asylum-seeker client who refused to get subsidized medical assistance for her child that the child was eligible for because the Vox article on public charge had come out and she’d heard through the grapevine that she’d never be allowed to get a green card if she used those…

Fred Guttenberg has hit the ground running since his daughter’s death. He’s the one who took down Rubio on live TV and has had to field harassment and dismissal because his child was murdered and he’s trying to stop this from happening to someone else. He’s a hero.

That train left the station when this soulless bigot deliberately stalled the constitutional right of a young imprisoned immigrant to get the abortion she chose to have, hoping to run out the clock with his prevaricating and force her to gestate against her will.

I am temping at the moment. A couple of the people in my agency who I frequently end up on the same jobs with are actors. And not really young ‘just left drama school’ actors, people who have been working in and out of the biz (plays, TV, short films etc.) for decades.

Ironic homophobia is still homophobia. 

Steve Harvey has made a career of out of telling women no one loves them because they are inadequate. His advice reduces men to single cell brained animals who have no interests outside of sex and women must be obsequent servants to their every whim to deserve love. It’s beyond me, why anyone would listen to him. He…

You don’t call in the FBI to investigate cancer and heart disease. Expect this to get real ugly as the investigation unfolds.

We can say Becky is just racist because we know the whole context of the call, but the 911 operator HAD no context. Look at it from her point of view. Becky is giving rambling, disjointed statements, suspicious of the operator and obviously very angry. Refusing to answer basic questions and claiming that somebody is…

Oh shit, a John George shoutout for the WRONG reasons!

Sail works like a wing, the wind moves around it creating a low pressure so the boat gets sucked along, not pushed by the wind. You have enough surface area and low enough wetting area, like the AC boat below, it will go faster than then wind speed because there is so much force on the sails.

Let me try to explain, based on my limited understanding. Suppose you have a south wind; it’s coming from the south, heading north at 10 meters per second. If you have a perfectly-efficient, frictionless, magical sailing craft, and you point it north, it’ll accelerate up to 10 m/s. However, if you point it, say, 30°…

He does have shit to do. He is not capable of doing any of it.

Bcause what he really means is "he doesn't like brown people" 

I was thinking the same thing. I have a love / hate relationship with Kathy Griffin - mostly I dislike her comedy. But then she will do something like she did today. She will stick her neck out and tells the truth even though stating the truth will have a huge negative impact on her.

“... many men in the business [w]ant to see Louis come back because deep down inside they know they’ve also done fucked up shit to women,” she said. “[T]hey want to know that it’s not going to hurt them on a permanent basis. Louis is their test case.”

It would be funny if it wasn’t so infuriating.

In my experience, self-identifying as a “giver” sexually generally translates to “expects a lot of gratitude when not being totally selfish"sexually.

The fuck? If *anything* about a person’s teaching style has the capacity to be ‘misconstrued’ as sexual assault that person shouldn’t be fucking teaching.
