That’s because I literally cannot think of any plot where the rape, or showing the rape, furthers it. That’s why I said I was all ears if you could think of a situation. In a sense that I obviously cannot fathom all possibilities, there is a .001% chance that they have come up with some concrete reason why we needed a…

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL I KNOW YOU ARE A TROLL BUT THIS IS THE BEST/WORST ATTEMPT ANY TROLL HAS EVER MADE LIKE

I’m doing just fine now :) Thank you for the kind words. Are you okay? Do you have people you can talk to and get some help if you need it? Will you email me if not? (jolie@deadspin.com)

No one who owned slaves should be on money, period. End of.

I think each denomination of bill or coin should represent an aspect of culture: for instance: Science on the $1, literature on the $5, music on the $10, social justice on the $20, etc etc etc. All Americans of all ages and races over all eras who are notable…

Buddhism is and always will be a dead end for the likes of Brooks, insofar as it requires an understanding of the illusory nature of the “self.” For Brooks and his ilk, the self is all there is.

if you think a post that starts with the line “Oh hell yeah, my sluts. Very tight.” is the sound of a woman being truly offended then i’ve got no hope or interest in convincing you otherwise. there’s a vast gap between saying “this is dumb but such is life” and “this is personally offensive and i hope it offends you…

Uh you’re asking an actually really complicated question about the difference between second wave and third wave feminism and the differing attitudes to using sex as power, and I’m totally ready to answer it, but it would take a really long post so... that’s the difference. One says ‘no, fuck that, that is just…

Fuck Mayweather, Pacquio, fuck this fight, and fuck everyone who supported it.

Man, he’s gonna be pissed when someone reads this article to him.

They Conservative Right already thinks we’re a bunch of Satanist baby killers anyway so might as well give ‘em a show.

“Forgive me please, but that’s what you get when you play with people’s emotions.”

This is a really good point - thank you! It does look like Mercy Corps has set up a dedicated fund for disaster response here but they do indeed often focus on the longer term recovery work (which, as you noted, is also much needed).

Oh my god, this is incredible. This is awesome. I don’t know what to do with all these human emotions.
