Nicole, it’s okay to have been young and hungry for fame and dazzled by a guy who was/is one of the biggest stars in the world. No big surprise there. And then you outgrew it - and had a great career. Not sure there’s really much of a mystery here.

Kudos to Taylor Swift for doing her civic duty by participating in jury duty. Even though she was not empaneled, even participating in the voir dire sets an excellent example for her fellow citizens. There is no shame in the fact that she was deemed not to be impartial, based on her current lawsuit; that’s just part…

Pretty much anyone who’s ever been sexually assaulted or done anti-sexual violence prevention work is deemed “biased” in sexual assault cases, and dismissed from the jury pool due to their supposed inability to be “impartial”. They have to call 2-3x as many people for the jury pool on a rape case compared to normal. I…

That poem sounds like little songs my 5 year old sings when he plays with his food. Wait, do you think Kanye plagiarized the song from North?

“How dare you not remove a board-member whom we disapprove of because he funded a lawsuit against us after we ousted him for being gay directly against his wishes because we don’t feel like he deserves the right to keep such information from the wealthy middle-eastern people he works with?!

When Zuck decided to keep Thiel on the board

Since Gawker got the shit sued out of them by a Facebook board member

Agreed. It’s gotten ridiculous. To quote someone I know on tumblr when discussing women bashing other women for liking popular or feminine things:

the Cap/Hydra twist is not different or worse than hundreds of other similar twists

This change may have lowered the teen birth rate.

I expected it to last longer and be more substantial

Yeah, I’m sure he has had many interactions with “socialist-minded” people and that they have “berned” him! That’s a totally plausible scenario, just like God talking to him.

For what it’s worth, pissing on a person that is on fire is likely not going to do any good. So really, you’d be doing him a favor by letting him die by fire instead of getting pissed on while dying by fire. Either way, you’re just as horrible as he is.
