“We do not make exceptions for political or newsworthy content...”

Shots fired at Twitter, which has had its “public interest” exception/disclaimer going strong for the past 3 and a half years to absolve itself of its own self-stated responsibility.

That woman has never fired a gun before in her life and should never be allowed near one again:

That is absolutely the first thing I noticed. If she would’ve tripped while walking behind her husband, well that would one way to become a widow.

You’d think a lawyer would know not to (a) point a gun at people and (b) put her finger on the goddamn trigger. Those are two super major fucking gun-safety rules Ms. McCloskey broke right there.

Not only is that woman holding that gun entirely wrong but she has her finger on the fucking trigger the whole time! Even her dipshit husband seems to know better than that. She should be arrested for reckless endangerment. 

Hey, there. This is an excellent piece on a critical topic: exactly the kind of blog for which we visit Jezebel. And yet, in two hours, there are eight replies. A few years ago, there would have been hundreds. And I think that this is because the ‘grays’ are leaving in droves: there doesn’t seem to be any mechanism

Although I’ve never worked for PPA (and it is my dream job), I’m honestly not surprised. I’ve worked for a handful of allegedly progressive, non-profit organizations, and they all operate very similar to what was outlined in this article.

Yeah, that was the first one I saw, and it totally seems like it.

That 48 laws of power thing might be the must sad and pathetic thing I have read all year.

So he's doing his own "Surrender To Recover", from that 48 nonsense... 

I bet it’s hard to tell when a racist is hiring you.

OOOOOH STFU, some of us dont have the luxury of simply leaving a job and not being able to pay for our daily/weekly/monthy/yearly expenses because of some racist POS prick asshole slime bucket trash rat that works there and happens to be your boss thinks it’s perfectly ok to say and do racist stuff. He encountered a

If you subject yourself to something you know doesn’t respect you its harder for me to have sympathy, especially when the only time you choose to comment about it is after you’ve stopped being paid.

I repeat, nearly every major company is housing racists.

I agree except for one thing...

The largest pipeline for LEO recruits is the US military. Now, is the military simply attractive to these types or is it actively radicalizing people? (Probably both).

Boomers like to claim that Millennials have ruined everything; one of those things include the social mask/face the former [as well as their predecessors] wore in public. The general attitude in those times was a “closed door” policy: you can do anything you want behind closed doors, so long as your public mask was

Cue hundreds of police departments across the country simultaneously releasing statements saying, “This is not who we are...”

My spouse works for law enforcement. It’s a good group. No, really. When they get calls of “suspicious black men”, first they demand to know what the poor soul is doing that’s so suspicious (almost always nothing), then they bitch out the caller for wasting their time. They regularly train in deescalation and conflict
