Nooooo keep the dancing videos coming. They’re a blast

Her actions are horrible and deserve to be criticized fully. Treating them as “lol ridiculous little girl” actions is minimizing them and not criticizing them as fully as they should be. Her action/statement is no less serious because she’s a 19 year old woman. Let’s treat them as seriously as we would if it were a…

That’s Zap Brannigan you’re thinking of. Kirk’s horndog aspect has been exaggerated in memory and parody for so long that people think it’s canon but Kirk in TOS was a very by the book captain for the most part. The book he followed, though, was one that gave a HUGE amount of discretion and leeway to Captains on the…

This is The Internet. Things could have easily escalated and I think the cops could learn from us. :D

If I’m arrested today please know I’m not suicidal. I have plenty to live for. I did not resist, I’m just black.

She guest starred in TNG as a transporter officer too, and got to meet Nichelle Nichols. I found a pic of them hanging out on set:

Mae Jemison was the first African-American woman in space in 1992, and would start every shift on the Space Shuttle with Uhura’s famous words: ‘Hailing frequencies open.’ I like that.

You missed Jesus and misplaced patriotism, but I’ll allow it.

This is going to be long, because I have a lot of pent up feelings.

As you’ve acknowledged, I can’t see a link you’ve included, but am I right in assuming it’s about the French headscarf ban? If so, all I can say is that it is true that many Europeans, the French especially, prize secularity above an individual’s desire to publicly broadcast his or her faith. I do not object to that.

I’ve spent a lot of my adult years outside of the U.S. (My parents are not American either) and I couldn’t agree with what you’ve written more. Only “progressive Americans” (an oxymoron of there ever was one—only Americans would think obsessively policing hairstyles is progressive) get worked up over this sort of…

The post is for real, and it’s for real also that literally not one person from Madrid to Luneberg is foaming at the mouth demanding an apology from a frivolous fashion magazine for an imagined, or even a real, transgression. This photo essay was in what basically amounts to a catalogue of beauty products with some…

Whoa, wait, what’s wrong with Jewfro? How else can I describe my hair? Einstein-esque? Slightly kinky super curly very frizzy? I’m not appropriating anything but the “fro” phoneme here, my hair sans a perm is kinky and curly and when untamed, is very much like a natural or Afro style.

It’s link #1 right now, and yes all sorts of weirdos wind up in this comments section. I was reading about Charger airbags 10 minutes ago.

Once nothing changed after Newton, I realized things would NEVER change.

• “I did not mean that Conservatives are generally stupid; I meant, that stupid persons are generally Conservative. I believe that to be so obvious and undeniable a fact that I hardly think any hon. Gentleman will question it.” John Stuart Mill, 1866.
  

I’ve worked with law enforcement nearly all my life and I can accurately say there are no people who work in law enforcement that believe the 2-8% number. Almost everyone I’ve talked to about this subject will say the number of PROVABLE false rape accusations is about 25% and because some are not provable either way,…

I’m the author of this article, and I’d like to write in response to the biggest issue commenters seem to have with it: the 2-8% statistic.

Eagerly awaiting all the people with poor reading comprehension who will see that Jezebel posted an essay on false allegations and immediately assume we are arguing that they are unimportant/nonexistent (despite this entire essay being written to say the opposite)—but I mainly came down here to say that I thoroughly…
