Those same people who love to whine about the Electoral College (“but whyyyy can’t it just be one person, one vote”) lean heavily on its existence to allow them to vote with their precious consciences instead of their fucking brains.

Him x 17m right now.

Whew...here I thought us Americans held the monopoly on stupidity.

‘Nuisance’ alligator sounds so folksy, like the alligator borrowed your lawn mower and didn’t return it, not like the kind that would kill your two year old.

And that’s one of many good reasons you need affirmative action—to counterbalance the enormous advantage that legacy candidates have.

Wow. So she wasn’t even arguing for a meritocratic process in the first place. In addition to assigning herself the public roll of entitled dim-wit and poster child for white mediocrity and fragility, she also illustrates the acute dangers of parents blowing smoke up their snowflakes’ buttholes.

Hahahahahaha good.

They’re still pissed that we can vote now.

Except putting Harriet Tubman on the 20 didn’t come from Obama. It was a competition started online, and when the organizers(can't remember their name) got such a huge response they sent a petition to the Obama administration. And seriously, people actually voted this moron into office? It’s mind boggling.

their mothers work multiple jobs

Small time traffic offenses can hem people up, big time. I am military and so many of our Soldiers get tickets/ suspensions/ fines, which are often sent to their home of record (not where they actually live) so if their parents don’t forward the mail they might never know they are in trouble. We have Soldiers get…

The house was being monitored for drug activity, doesn’t say it was known drug activity. And, yes, they found drugs. That’s not what’s being argued. What I think is being argued is that cops shouldn’t search you just because they think you “look” like you might have drugs, there should be an actual reason. In this…

Leaving a house with known drug activity isn’t against the law. Guilt by association is unconstitutional.

Holy fuck you guys.

I just returned from a young women’s leadership conference where I was on the planning committee and a workshop facilitator. I’ve been running retreats, conferences, and workshops on gender and intersectionality for almost 10 years (mostly higher ed) and it’s something I really LOVE doing. In fact, I’m pretty dang…

My brag is: I’ve decided, and laid plans, that after I finish the class I’m teaching this summer, I’m moving to a different city and waiting tables to pay bills while I write books during the day. PhD life is not for me, and while I will finish the dissertation, I’m not going to pursue that line of work.

Halle Berry famously demurred when Aretha Franklin suggested her to play the Queen of Soul in a possible bio-pic. Berry, who’s had problems finding decent roles, was smart enough to know that it would have been ridiculous miscasting. And Berry had won an Oscar by then. Nope, Zoe, nope.

Maybe you should go back and read the gajillion articles/comments we had about this situation on this website. The problem was never that she is not “black enough”, the issue is more nuanced than that. But people who think all black people are the same will never understand. Black people are a diaspora, and even with…

I think Zoe should maybe never open her mouth on this subject again. It’s like she’s got a shovel and she wants to keep digging deeper and deeper...

oh my god the third one. Even when he’s doing staged pap shots he’s trying too hard.
