I’d add that so many people still think that we live in a strict meritocracy—that their successes are due to their effort alone—and admitting the deck is stacked in favor of some groups (white people, middle- and upper-class people) and against others (POC, the poor) means grappling with the ways in which their…

My half-black son was born Sept 5th, here in Kansas City, while those protests raged across the state. Because the AA communities in StL and KC are so intertwined I actually am friends with one of Micheal Brown’s cousins, and not thru my husband.

Yes, this was a poly triad, not a threesome. But of course, those without understanding of polyamory (or any marginalized relationship model) are incapable of discussing it without fixating on the sex. I’m just gonna start calling all monogamous couples “twosomes” from here on.

This will be a Subaru ad before very much longer. Retail history shows us this.

Counter Counter point: Guy trying to make ends meet tells the guy whose company is losing money faster than anyone in Tech ever, “just a thought, but maybe your strategy is not only demonstrably finically wrong, but also hurts people you depend on and should be looking out for.” CEO storms out, proving the driver’s…

Freddy, do you really want to go out on a limb for the CEO of a company that that broke all the records for operating losses and labor relations bad press?

I just realized I get more of my pop culture exposure through hot takes rather than firsthand experience. I also don’t plan on changing. Though this tea was a little lukewarm for my tastes.

Because Obama was not a Russian mole.

Hahaha. And with that comment you’ve single-handedly proven the widely held belief that Trump supporters are hysterical drama queens with below average intelligence.

Hmm... what do you think journalism is good for, if not to cover politics?

Hamilton Nolan has popped open a celebratory container of Fage yogurt.

White people get radicalized very easily because when you’re spoiled and never face any real adversity, the smallest slights feel world changing.

I used to want to hate fuck him, but that ended as soon as kissed up to Trump and was buried forever after I saw those shoes. They send a clear message he would be terrible in bed.

Really? You would be remiss if you didn’t come to a women’s site to tell a bunch of women who gets your boner going? Not just remiss, but unforgivably remiss. Huh.

I don’t think you’re wrong. Trump has to decide if sticking to his campaign talking point is more important than sweet, sweet revenge. Not just cause (most of) California didn’t vote for him, but also because Jerry Brown has been thumbing his nose at him since election day. Best damn governor we’ve ever had

Yes. Supposedly the emergency spillway was rated to handle 250,000 cubic feet per second but it started showing weakness at less than 13,000 cubic feet per second.

People in this part of California are overwhelmingly Republican. L.A. and S.F., the most populous parts of the state, are Democrats. So the state is Democratic, but some areas are not.

The people in the communities most at risk from these floods *did* vote for him. They are the farmers that now regret their votes as they realize 45 is actually going to follow through with his immigration/deportation promises.

I think you’re wrong, because this justifies every bit of his “Our nation is falling apart, California is a disaster, liberals are ruining everything, I’m going to fix the problem and you’ll be so grateful for me.”

I had a moment this morning, as I stood in the bathroom listening to NPR, in which I thought to myself, “Trump isn’t going to approve federal disaster relief for people in Northern California because they didn’t vote for him.”
