Um that Maria Sharapova pic seems a little fucked up. I think you should take it down unless she consented to having TMZ publish it. 

Nice lunchtime post guys.

I HATE the phrase “catch-and-release.” It’s dehumanizing, you catch and release a trout. 

People blaming her/her family for not finding an alternative or filing the correct paperwork:

Poverty isn’t just monetary. It is a poverty of resources, poverty of information, and poverty of advocacy. 

That’s fucking insane. Aside from the the obvious language issues, fibbing/lying to please an adult, kids that age have issues separating reality and fiction and seemingly no objective sense of the passage of time.

So how do you now say you didn’t know you were being filmed? Oh I don’t know jackass, I mean Jeff - maybe she was giving birth at the time??

I am getting tired of the show talking about robot clones as immortality without engaging in the clone identity problem. If I die and am rebuilt perfectly, that is not immortality as far as I am concerned. Look up the teletransportation paradox in philosophy. (While you’re at it, look up the problem of the philosophic…

The trump supporters are fucking creaming in their pants after his performance there. A tweet from James Wood said no matter what happens next his vote was worth it just because of this.

I’m sorry, but anyone who makes more than solidly-middle-class me, while paying less taxes, is by default a bad guy.

Putin allegedly told him, “we have some of the most beautiful hookers in the world.

It doesn’t have to be sexual for it to still be degrading. And don’t for one second think that gay men don’t hate women just as much as straight men.

I agree with your first point about this experiment being woefully insufficient to determine whether national-level UBI might be a good idea (I’d want to see something like a 5 year experiment across a few different states).

Methinks they’re confusing being teased with being bullied. Everyone is teased at some point or another.

I spent nearly half a year homeless and two of the first things to go are a sense of pride and community. The article above even states that by being in this troop and having this sale that these girls feel less isolated.

What do you call someone who rapes a slut. A rapist. You call him a rapist.

I distinctly remember a classmate calling another (Sri Lankan) classmate Apu. Calling it “weaponized” hits the nail on the head so hard.

It annoyed me a lot at first because I think the trailer for it and the introduction are so bad but it’s worth sticking with—the couple is very good, and 100x less annoying than Chip and Joanna.

Eh, I think HGTV actually has a lot of non-heteronormative families on House Hunters and the myriad spin off shows. There are many gay couples (sometimes with children), non-married couples (with and without children), single-parent households, “blended” families, families with adopted children, and multi-generational…

I dunno, I kind of think we’d be better off as a society if we didn’t use length of time as the main metric for judging the success of a relationship.
