I sometimes think that people are so insistent that “she knew” or “he must have known” because it makes them feel more secure in their own situation.

Don’t reply to me with prison rape jokes.

Yeah, same story here. When “friends” would say “I thought you knew so I didn’t say anything” I would reply “Well, he wasn’t dead, and I wasn’t in jail for it so how did you think I knew?”

Aja Romano is the worst. Google “Aja Romano burn t-shirt video.” It would take too long to explain went down, but suffice it to say she made a selfie video of herself dousing a t-shirt in lighter fluid as a symbol of her pledge never to allow her work to be published in Live Journal, ever, ever again.

Careful there, edgy. Don’t cut yourself.

“There is no excuse for any such comments or making anyone feel uncomfortable,” he said Tuesday. “If I did that, I sincerely apologize, and it will be a valuable learning experience.”

I think I found the UC’s response:

The older I get, the harder it is for me to feel as idealistic as you obviously still feel. It’s a genuine struggle. I often think back to the scene in Twelve Angry Men when the racism of one of the holdout jurors is finally revealed and a man who had been on his side until he started ranting becomes so disgusted he…

What the fuck is going on in this thread? What is it with non-black people always telling black people how we should feel about racism? Why do they ALWAYS do this?

No, free speech doesn’t mean that a college campus has to allow anyone who wants to come on their campus to speak. It doesn’t mean that anyone who wants to book space there can’t be denied because of what effect their presence might have on the campus. It doesn’t mean that anyone has to listen to you, or that you are…

It cost my sister in law over $30k to have a similar procedure in the state of Washington because the hospital that could perform it was out of network for her insurance. That’s more than some people make in a year. She is now in the process of declaring bankruptcy in addition to mourning the loss of the pregnancy and…

If we’re talking about Mindy Swank (from IL) the video mentions that she tried to go to a hospital out of network - and the catholic hospital she went to first didn’t send that secular hospital the necessary paperwork so that they could help her. If we’re talking about the 5 ladies from Mercy Health Partners hospital,…

And I think that allowing a religious organization qua employer dictate the morality of its employees is a bad idea. The withheld moneys don’t have to come from Medicare funds, it could be loss of tax-exempt status for medical properties and profits. Which brings me back to the state run option. We are already paying…

I love it when the courts perform late term abortions on laws that clearly pose a danger the lives of mothers everywhere.

Also, I’d add that Marshawn acts as a perfect opposite to Russell Wilson. By the average (assumably white) NFL fan, Wilson is viewed as a likable winner and a family-friendly, telegenic leader. He’s a Fortune 500 drone The Brands would love to represent them in his perfect blandness; a successful mannequin eager to be…

I feel like I need to fill out a report and get my mileage reimbursed for that pun’s journey.

Not at all. When he recited his Hebrew prayers for our parish priest, Father told him that was really cool and that he said the same prayer in English when preparing Communion. The only confusion that occurred was when a rabbi came to his class during the High Holy Days and rewarded the kids with sweets when they…
