Shit R. Lee Ermey died?

I remember that shit.

I get why this is a big deal but I really hope people don’t forget that she was EXTREMELY problematic when it came to issues of race and prejudice. Let’s not forget that she said Katrina was good for poor people and the time she once publicly endorsed Paul Le Page who, during his campaign, said “the enemy right now……

I guess things didn’t work out very well for Barbara.

CNN’s tribute reel said that they were married for over 60 years, seeing as how they were married for 73 (damn) I’m taking that to mean that they had it in the can for ten years.

I kind of want Trump to make some huge flashy statement only to have the entire remaining Bush clan give him the collective finger.

It’s sad that she died and there will be lots of glowing articles about her in the coming days.

Yep, here it is https://harpers.org/archive/2017/11/monumental-error/

I was just reading an older article about Sims. Actually, the success of his vesicovaginal fistula treatments were greatly exaggerated (by him), and it was found that some of the treatments he claimed to pioneer were in fact previously discovered and practiced elsewhere.

its called the ‘impersonal’ you.

how the fuck in the year 2018 can questions about an alleged affair with a married man possibly be germane to a goddamn rape trial?

Thank you for continuing to give this trial the serious attention it deserves. I subscribe to four news media with widely respected journalism, and none of them is covering Cosby’s retrial anywhere near as thoroughly as Jezebel. Maybe they think it’s old news, or celebrity gossip, or not worth pulling reporters off…

During my law degree, my favourite subject was evidence law - we did this really good class, based I think on an American professor’s technic, where someone random runs into the classroom, snatches a laptop, and runs out, and every student is asked to write down what he looked like. Then they’re all compared, and the…

This isnt the dark side to medicine. Its the dark side to inhuman monsters with th power over others. Every single one of the procedures that assholes like this “invented” could have been discovered through humane and dignified treatment of patients.

This is the dark side to medicine. We owe a great deal of modern medical knowledge to sadistic experiments from the 1800's, through ww2, and even into more modern history. It would be irresponsible to ignore it, but reprehensible to forget it.

Up here in Canada we had the Jian Ghomeshi case, and it was indescribably infuriating.

Bliss: “You and your husband raised them to be good girls.”

I’m a criminologist, my literal job is studying the justice system, and I still can’t believe how fucking cruel and messed up it is. The adversarial system, the shit we let lawyers do, the completely invalid assumptions they operate on (eg that small discrepancies are suspicious instead of completely normal)... Fuck.

Sassafrass lady!

This combines her love of worksheets with her love of doing weird things! It seems like a win-win for her!
