He fucked himself by making a police report. He could have just been uncooperative and panicked when police came so they would think something happened. And hoped itd get to the press. Press picks shit up without a second thought. It has to get to cartoon levels of absurdity before even the more liberal press begins…

Some people just want to fight about politics no matter where they are.

They are F-ing everywhere. The Mods on my archeology group have to do daily reminders of the guidelines. You know what I got instead of Birthday wishes from my Mom today? A pro-trump chain email. Jesus wept. 

I couldn’t be more proud to be a member of ravelry, so I made this.

I can’t say I was expecting this, but good on Ravelry! Seriously, though, who goes on crafting forums to talk about politics? 

Not to minimize this cluster fuck, but its been a little over 2 months since they were grounded. It hasn’t been years or something. Airlines go out of business all the time.

That rider is really not that big a deal. Yeah she could probably have her team bring along a halogen heater and bedside lamps, and yeah “new sheets, washed once” is a bit silly, but it’s not like she’s demanding they repaint every hotel suite her favorite shade of blue, or provide a smoothie station or $1,000 worth…

There are a lot of “realists” who base their strategy on what works with the older generation, because the older generation reliably fucking votes. I am still pretty convinced that turnout in 2020 is only going to bump up against 65%, more or less per usual. Even the 2018 midterm didn’t crack 50%, although it was a…

If you think tolerating bigotry against women and minorities is no big deal, then you’re part of the problem. You can never wonder why it’s 2019 yet on race relations, we’re still in the 1950s.

I ran into my high school’s valedictorian in a N.A meeting about 10 years ago. She’d gotten injured in a car accident in the 3rd year of her Ph’D by her bf at the who was twice the legal limit for blood alcohol. Developed a severe pill addiction and ended up on the street for like 4 years selling her body. Her family…

Okay so she wasn’t actually forced to cheerlead for her rapist

One of the actresses from the wrestling video, Anna Akana, accused Landis of abuse and assault in 2017.

In most cases, the sexual predator doesn’t think what they are doing is wrong.  That’s part of why they are awful people.  

I take it to mean that Landis’s behaviour was consistent with the sort of sociopath who could serially abuse women. What Trank actually “knew” may have been much less than that. 

Because the other kind of violence is likely to get the law involved, but (historically) sexual violence has a much higher probability of the law looking the other way: if the victim is a woman, because of institutional misogyny; if the victim is a man, because what are you, a woman?

I’m not sure this means that Trank knew about Landis being a sexual assaulter back then. He could also have just banned Landis from the set because Landis was a standard-issue jerk.

Okay, so, “any of these 20 people” is not the same thing as working down to one candidate who will actually get elected. Like, this is a necessary process. I guess you can just sit on your hands and wait until early 2020 to invest in someone specific, but the fact that other people are arguing over who will be the…

Max Landis spent a good chunk of his younger years in a therapeutic school in Connecticut that is one step below being institutionalized. He has admitted to having cyclothemia, but there have been reports outside of the abuse allegations of more severe mental illness. Mental illness is not an excuse for his behavior…

Well, now we see the result of years of helicopter parenting.
