This type of bullshit is always the same playbook. It’s not the horrible comments, it’s that someone BROUGHT THEM UP. It’s not Steven Crowder’s horrible behavior. it’s that someone LEAKED THE VIDEO. The bad people are the ones who shine a light on disgusting behavior, not the ones doing said behavior in darkness. Fuck…

And this is why you never accept bonuses in lieu of raises. Employees would shit their bricks if there were pay cuts or pay freezes. But some of them readily accept the bullshit excuses for why bonuses are non-existent year after year. 

Let’s not get classist. There are plenty of rich assholes who also have no idea how a woman's body works.

The answer is “We are going camping.” There are a number of people who will help those who need to go camping.

They will all gradually morph back into regular old hatchbacks and wagons, kind of like the ioniq-5, which is what we all wanted anyhow, right?  Will we still call them “crossovers” then?

What if you drive them to the BK across the street from the Planned Parenthood, the minor then walks themselves over there, gets the care they need, then you pay for their #2 meal?  Is this illegal?  Or must one obtain parental consent to feed a 17 y.o. a Whopper?

It’s truly harrowing. Jones and Pearson are truly powerful presences— and one democratic lawmaker spoke out in defense of Jones pointing that out. That Republicans are just scared of them and what they represent. I truly think the Republicans were just looking for any excuse to try to get rid of them, and jumped at…

Celebrities! They’re just like the passive-aggressive people you went to high school with and never left your hometown!

The electoral process has always been flawed. That doesn’t negate the importance of voting in every election for the most qualified candidates you can find.

How would a carefully managed site visit have meaningfully contradicted the statements of multiple current and former employees, as well as a significant quantity of publicly available video evidence? Nobody is going to provide honest, meaningful feedback to a journalist while in their workplace, surrounded by both…

As a former employee of Wyrmwood from 2021-2022, I have seen everything described first hand. I left on my own accord for mental health reasons and the toxic work environment. I thought the company was for nerds but I found out quickly that it’s for nerdy guys and no one else. I do have fond memories from when i first…

I don’t particularly want to eat the food at a lunch counter that doesn’t want to serve me, but every space we concede to the assholes becomes a place from which they take more.

While we likely have Republican lawmakers to thank for her 300 mile round trip, it seems they dropped the ball by not having added requirements that she wait until her second appointment or view images from an internal ultrasound probe before committing arson

Long before I had any idea what an evil wingnut this woman was - my aunt gave me her diet book...

Yes, but they got it from Orwell’s 1984.

It’s from 1984 (the book, not the year).

Part of me is worried that republicans will just use this as pretext for actually jailing democratic opponents next time they’re in a position to do so.

Pro Publica had a series on reasons why maternal mortality rates are so high in the US. One reason is that signs of really common complications in mothers are frequently overlooked and disregarded, as birthing care is almost solely focused on the wellbeing of the baby. Which makes sense that the latest wave of…

For sure, this is where it has been confusing. Different groups have different motives for the rules. Some fear the dwindling numbers of whites, some want to control women more, etc. But if we try to force women to become stay at home mothers, it won’t magically fix the cost of living issues. 

That used to be one of the arguments (before the culture wars) that was convincing enough even for white guys in power : if a thief (fetus) broke into your house (uterus), you didn’t ask for them to be there, why are you obligated to let them stay just because they’re already there?
