oh, i get it. he definitely comes across as douchey from time to time. i think, as a science nerd who has spent her life amoung other science nerds, that i tend to give him the benefit of the doubt. it’s been my personal experience, backed up by some data, that those who pursue certain careers aren’t great with social…

as someone educated in a ‘hard science’ field, i both agree and disagree with your point about tyson sounding condescending. my field of study is psychopharmacology. much like higher orders of physics, it’s not a subject in which the average person is well versed. additionally, the average american reads/comprehends…

that’s not terrifying on absolutely every level. nope. not at all

1) this deserves many stars

i asked the same question yesterday. the assholes are all ungreyed but the quality continues to be in the inbetween.

i can’t imagine what you mean? the secretary of education who never visited an underperforming public school in michigan...at least not intentionally? or attended a public school, herself? or sent her children to public schools? fuck her and her 10 yachts.

i’m not saying it’s true across the board. if a group of peers engage in a consensual, if extremely childish, game agree....go right ahead. but when a person in power -whether that power be held in a public or private sector- instigates such a ‘game’, it becomes about that power and using that power to intimidate…

yep. that’s all i need. because porn really empowers women. it’s good to know we’ve found the misogynists. the worst part? i don’t think you know why what you say hurts women. 

firstly, it’s *latter*.

so, he groped a woman but didn’t mean to offend her.  fuck you.

i will gladly upvote any reference that includes the dropkick murphys. 

yep. you’re correct. as a woman and a proud feminist, even i can’t be ‘angry’ at this. granted, i come from a military family...but, c’mon people. it might have been juvenile and silly but to lose a career? 

but is he really taking responsibility? the old ‘alcohol made me do it’ excuse is, to put it frankly, bullshit. being an alcoholic doesn’t turn you into something you aren’t/weren’t. ie-he was always a misogynist douche. alcohol just let that be openly displayed. many, many people have addiction issues and don’t…

because, as a woman, i can attest to the fact that we AAALLLL love it when someone in power wants to ‘play grab ass’ with us. fuck off?

so, i’m not about to have this discussion, yet again, but correlation does NOT equal causation. case in point, mexico is almost as ‘fat’ as the u.s., per capita. guess what? us healthcare loses out to mexico in many metrics. think about that. the united states, very, very rich, LOSES to mexico, very, very, NOT rich.

omfg, you aren’t joking. that’s just utterly unbelievable...

no worries. my life has been, in essence, an inexcusable mistake for all to see.

yep. it’s a thing. a thing that has utterly convinced me, as if i needed it, that we are officially in the darkest possible timeline.

nothin’ like a song about a potential rohypnol date rape. ‘say, what’s in this drink’.
