What you or anyone “thinks” they are trying to do is irrelevant. Freedom of and from religion—no matter if you find the religion annoying or not. I don’t get to decide that no one could actually believe that “rise from the dead” mumbo jumbo and you don’t get to decide how serious others are.

“I think I have the term for what happens to Trump if (when) he finds himself ever more likely to lose: he will go into a derp spiral.”

OR: Ghostbusters is good because well written, Suicide Squad is bad because poorly written.

I think what’s mostly being said is that Suicide Squad ain’t good because it features women that are basically objectified in every scene, or punched in the face and choked.

TIL I’m a weak woman for keeping silent about sexual harassment because I feared retribution. The more you know! How can the GOP be the party of ignorance if their candidate and his family educate Americans on important issues every day?!

You’ll pay much much more to house him on death row and see his appeals through the bitter end than if he was locked up and forgotten in the SuperMax facility in Colorado.

Exactly. This sentiment is precisely the belief / guiding principle of defense attorneys - the notion that even the most repugnant among us have basic rights that should be defended.

That's when we know that the Constitution works. When we acknowledge the constitutional rights of a little shit like this.

I think it’s called the Tim Kaine Special.

Nope! A male judge probably would have found her in contempt for not wearing pants and punished her.

I was thinking, what are the odds any fuss would have been made had she stood before a male judge. Cynical?

We really need to overhaul the entire justice system - not just our police forces - all of it. Our training, our hiring practices, psych evaluations, the policing culture, everything from the bottom up.

Refinery 29 republished one of my articles from a different publication. The only thing they changed was putting my byline in tiny print at the very bottom, whereas it was previously at the top where bylines go. They did not pay me, of course. I somewhat doubt this RR plagiarism was an accident.

I was working at a fast food place when I met him. I was friendly b/c it was my job. Then he started showing up on my breaks. Then he figured out where I lived and started showing up at my house. Sometimes I came home to find that he had been waiting for me in his car in front of my house. I would see his car when I…

This part is INSANE.

Ailes demanded that she engage in sadomasochistic sex with another woman while he watched.

this was beautiful. We really take our election system for granted most of time, it’s not perfect and now that people care it will be (hopefully) improved but it’s a clockwork system! Every 4 years! Imagine how envious countries are who’s “President”’s have been in power for 10+ years.

It’s easy to cynically point at all the failings of American democracy. But the one thing that will never cease to amaze me, and that I will never stop reminding myself is unique and incredible in the history of government, is the American transition of power. Like, there’s no subterfuge or questions or violence or…

Yeah, me too. It’s scary, but she finally left me alone. My friend has had one for the last 20 years. She does all kinds of things to keep him away from her, but he finds a way to find her.

I am glad I am not famous. I had a stalker for a short time and it seems like being famous attracts them more.
