This isn’t the first time a Russian skater has performed a politically insensitive program. This season, reigning world champion Evgenia Medvedeva is skating a 9/11-themed program with actual audio from the day, and it is truly terrible.

Yes. Said as a white person. This is a white people thing. White people did this. This is on white people and only white people. Hillary Clinton could have been the world’s most inspiring candidate and it would not have mattered. White people wanted Trump. And got him.

I was at Penn at the same time as Melker. Donnie was indeed a sad sack of a human being who peed everywhere and assaulted everyone. He belonged to the most rape-y of rape-y fraternities and comfortably communicated with his asshat brothers in the misogynist language of his father and...he just sucked. He really did…

“I looked around the room and everyone had their heads down. And I said no.”

I also had that thought and almost edited to add it, then had an idea of like...wouldn’t it be amazing if it was inverted? If the section tucked away in the back was a small set of kind of ugly styles that “don’t come in all sizes” and the rest was equal opportunity? Maybe that’s just my fantasy...

The Prestige TV Show Hot Take Economy is extremely bad and dumb, but so is arguing that the way that we talk about and depict our world in fiction is irrelevant and not worth talking about in general. Granted that many people do it in a way that is stupid and wearying - that doesn’t invalidate the broader principle…

Fuck off

You have to be so, so bored to care about the Indians Logo, Redskins Name, etc...

Agreed: Let’s table the discussion on the offensive representations of people that have been the subject of genocide for the foreseeable future.

Only care about one thing at a time people.

Honestly, the only thing that text shows me is that she was pretty sure she’d win. She’s not like “I’m about to get rich!”, she’s texting someone that it looks like she owes money (or furniture?) to, and explaining how she’s going to be able to pay for it. Her dad gives her cash for xmas and she’s got a court case…

“I felt like if she felt like she had been raped, she would have told me,” Lavergne said.

Why wasn’t the 80/20 statistic shocking when it was 80 percent men?

Cry me a fucking river. This is going to happen more and more as men in traditionally overwhelmingly male industries, where they’ve been free to talk over and dismiss their colleagues, look around and notice more women running about, giving orders, getting ahead, and being taken seriously. Suck it up. Equality feels…

This is the reason why most rape victims are afraid to come forward. Not only is the testimony painful and embarrassing to deliver, but the victim’s state of intoxication and trauma prevents the testimony from becoming damaging in court. Watch as this guy gets away with it.

Good point. Civil trial means it was just a little bit of rape.

we’re sure trying.

Yeah, no. Forcing a kid or coercing them to visit someone they don't want to see is not good parenting.

You are right of course, but at the same time, that has nothing to do with these 2 people genuinely being decent human beings to one another.

No one said we shouldn’t believe Broaddrick because Hillary loves Bill. The point being made is that it is understandable why Hillary would want to believe that her husband is not a rapist even whilst simultaneously holding the belief that women who claim to be raped should be believed, not that we should never…
