Agreed, but I’m not sure if the purpose of this information is to provide exoneration. Rather, context as to how an individual can be incredibly successful in one aspect of life (football), and profoundly dysfunctional in every other. CTE probably didn’t help.

You can repeat yourself as often as you like, and you’ll still be wrong.

IIRC, Stephen was diagnosed before their marriage. Early on in their marriage, his family made it clear that his health was Jane’s problem and offered little if any support. As his condition worsened, Hawking wouldn’t allow sensible changes to how they lived such as having a bedroom on the main floor or hiring paid…

Happy Friday, you wanted a response about how terrible you are. Here you go; I have acknowledged your cruelty and callousness,and I am acknowledging you have managed to repeat the same type of tired cruel “joke” many many many thousands of Internet shit heads have done in the exact same way you did here. I hope this…

Just think about the burden we place on that old, white man by calling him a racist. He has to carry that with him. I thought we were past this in 2018.

Is this really the world we want to live in, where we scour through people’s social media posts to find something questionable they said TWO DAYS AGO to destroy their careers?  Honestly, who even cares what a school superintendent said when he was only 53 years and 263 days old?  How do you know he isn’t a completely…

The “American College of Pediatricians” is an anti-LGBT hate group, not a legit professional organization.

A huge focus of the AAP’s report is how it really hurts children’s mental (and physical!) health when their family and community don’t support them. Trans/gender diverse kids have higher rates of depression, anxiety, and suicide, for example, and they’re far less likely to get help and health care they need because…

OK sure but if you’re a parent RIGHT NOW and you just need to know what you should do to help and understand your child RIGHT NOW, waiting for large-scale social change that will likely take more time than any of us will be alive to see (if it hever happens at all) isn’t really ideal. Having both is a bit more…

I find Bernie very frustrating because I agree with him on a lot of things. Medicare for all would be nice! College is absurdly expensive! But when you say, “Great, how are you going to accomplish these things,” the answer seems to be, “Well, our hearts are pure, and we have the support of the people, and we cannot…

I’ve said this before in comments on this site, but the most frustrating thing to me as an attorney is that people always jump to the “they are just in it for the money,” as if victims of sexual violence aren’t entitled to compensation/restitution for the horrible things they have endured. Hell, if I’m in a car wreck,…

“Sorry I bothered you with logic.”

As others have said and will say... Any excuse is a bad excuse for domestic violence. In the end, “she cheated “ or “she took my cell phone” being used as justification for phyiscal violence is garbage. When someone says “I want to know what started it!”, that points to, in my mind, that person thinking the woman…

Might as well preempt these before the Stoolie brigade descends upon this article.

Because wanting to what she did to “provoke” him is irrelevant, disgusting and extremely misogynistic?

that’s the joke

“Do you have a New Year message for our audience in China?”

I think it would be more like a foreigner doing an interview with an American news station where they say something along the lines of:

Because it’s probably not their defining characteristic as a people. We have incestuous people who will eat fried butter, but it would be offensive to visit a Canadian and be told “Hey, if you’re hungry I can drop some Land O Lakes in the fryer, you cousin fucker.”
