I often think of this about the web and the balkanization of public debate. I read a really good metaphor for this once : in Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy novels, there’s a device called the Total Perspective Vortex. The idea is that a criminal gets put into the vortex and is confronted with a sense of the scale of…

Because the purpose of college is to be exposed to different viewpoints. Not live in an echo chamber where only people who already agree with you are allowed to speak, and anyone who disagrees is silenced for promoting “microagressions”.

So basically Obama just came out against trigger warnings.

idk if its really about wanting to hear them speak, more like its important to not live in an ideological vacuum

Totally! I have not been Team Caitlyn since things whole fiasco began. Being transgender doesn’t make you a good person. The whole thing is SO self-serving, she’s as vapid as the rest of them and now has an added helping of self-righteousness to add the to the mix. Uggghh.

*weird compliment alert* Whoever this is has really nice nail beds.

You really think she’s the one making financial/business decisions? I know this is jezebel, but here’s a hint: no smart person (female or male) is making their own business decisions. They have managers, consultants, and advisers.

It’s like the ultimate shade, essentially saying “there isn’t a spit of difference between any of you popsters, regardless of your pretensions.”

The lyric “boom boom boom, brighter than the moon moon moon” really speaks to me on an emotional level.

Also, is no one else concerned that this rally looked like something out of Deliverance?

Birth control isn’t a basic right or federal law either tho, and pharmacists are still able to come between a patient and their doctor.

Entirely possible. It’s also possible that the accommodation was a huge pain in the ass for everyone, and they just got sick of it (and Kim Davis thing made it top-of-mind for everybody). I mean, think of the layout of a plane, and how those flight attendants are positioned in relation to the beverage cart, the seats,…

I mean, if a compromise or negotiation satisfies all parties then fine, but ultimately if you can’t fulfil your entire contract then... bye.

Fuck these religious assholes who think they’re entitled to a job, fuck them. Go find “work” in your religious institutions, not in jobs serving the public.

You showed mercy. You could also have gone with, “Gosh thanks! Seeing women like you do it really inspired me be to be brave. It’s how we look to ourselves that counts, right?”

its not Kim at all, Kris seen an opportunity and cashed out on her daughter tape

Wow, you don’t do humor. You should go out more often rather than taking 1 am phone calls from your mom.

I’m not one of those people who despises Kim Kardashian. I’ve tried to be, but I lack the will to care about her with any degree of intensity beyond that which I feel for breakfast cereal. Which is to say: essentially nil. I think she’s vapid and self-absorbed but is, on the whole, a decent person who works hard and…

He and his hat are the douchiest husband NO DOUBT.

“MY LOVE” is the fucking WORST.
