Yeah, I think Caitlyn just....doesn’t understand that nobody really likes her. Dems won’t vote for her because she’s a Republican (who openly voted for Orange Foolius), and Republicans won’t vote for her because she is trans and a woman (even if they would probably dispute the second part, although curiously that…

Everyone knows the best way to get young people to read a book is to ban it.

The one glaring issue is that he shut down CA, and then like so many politicians from both sides of the aisle, he immediately lost credibility by hosting a big mask less dinner party at a restaurant that should have been shut down. I’m not saying he should be recalled over it, but it’s one thing a lot of people are…

on the throne...and even in the throes of passion (yes, I answered)

Acted responsibly during an unprecedented international pandemic.

I’d feel bad for the woman who was having sex with Matt Gaetz while he on the phone with Donald Trump, but if she’s the type of woman who would willingly have sex with Donald Trump, I don’t feel remotely bad for her.

Lol, does she really think republicans are gonna vote for her? They don’t care how conservative her policies are, to them she will always be a freak. So good fucking luck Caitlyn. I kind of hope you do run so the hatred you receive from your party will maybe make you think twice about proudly aligning with bigots who…

Alabama Republicans have reached out to see if Gaetz might be interested in re-locating. “We’ve got an open spot on the roster for just this kind of up-and-comer. Also, our age of consent is a much more attractive 16, which we think Rep. Gaetz will appreciate.” 

Not that I know a lot about massage but.... one would think that an elite athlete would want the same masseuse over time. Someone who is familiar with his body and what it needs. It is also unusual I think that he would be requesting female masseuse as they would not necessarily be physically strong enough to deliver…

By the way, I wanted to link to a surprisingly good breakdown of the case that is a few days old, but still illuminating.

That’s not “Disparate Impact”. Disparate Impact isn’t strictly about decision making processes and knowledge. It’s also about demonstrating that a given piece of information has no value in the decision making process when you measure other variables.

But, but... the economic insecurity made them racists! Not the people they elected who have been fucking them over without lube for the last 40 years!

The better question is, why wouldn’t you want a subjective opinion on the topic?

I’ve always understood it as the ability to critique a topic without personal attachment (and potential influence) to that topic. You can still have an opinion, you’re just able to identify and critique the strengths and weaknesses of all sides of the argument. To the matter at hand: Can a person who experienced…

The point is that if they don’t take care to ensure that reporters who sexually assault people are writing about sexual assault, then they shouldn’t prevent reporters who have been sexually assaulted from covering sexual assault - if the stated goal is to be objective. Its one sided, therefore biased. The point was not…

Republicans know that the only way they can get “disenfranchised” (read: credulous white moron) voters to support them is to find a new victim to culture-war against. The fact that they’ve chosen actual children is a testament to their calculating soullessness, and the fact that it might actually work is a…

The reproduction Resolute Desk, the photos on the wall, the “45office” website ... You know what this reminds me of? The guy who still wears his high school letter jacket in college.

The only things that would surprise me are:

As I wrote to WaPo shortly after reading about their decision not to permit this reporter to write about sexual assault, “do you screen your reporters for whether they have committed sexual assault before you decide whether they can report on it?” We all know the answer is no.

I like the definition that Masha Gessen uses (my paraphrase): whatever the opinion, the journalism should tell you the facts.
