Pence becomes President. That would be a very, very bad idea.

Rachel Maddow was doing it on MSNBC. Everyone else kept saying “they voted for him despite the racism because of the economy” and she kept calling it out because that did not match how his polls surged every time he said something racists/bigoted. Or that most of his supporters agreed with the awful stuff he said when…

This. Plenty of middle and upper class people voted for Trump. We didn’t see them making fools of themselves by frothing at the mouth during campaign rallies. We didn’t see them put signs in their yards. Instead, they just quietly pressed the button with (R) next to it when the election came. The media found a very…

On election night I was watching msnbc...and no white talking head seemed able to say that it was all. about. race. Like that wasn’t *the* hallmark of Trump’s campaign! No, it’s not about Trump “being an outsider”. Incumbents got reelected at an amazing rate. It was all about how Trump is going to scapegoat all other…

I don’t have anything to add except yup! As a liberal who grew up in Oklahoma among pretty privilege folk, I cannot stop rolling my eyes at this narrative that economic anxiety drove people into Trump’s arms. Literally the only other white people that I know in this state who voted for Clinton are working class…

He spoke about the middle class. >50k sounds middle-ass class to me. And the statement is correct...the middle class has seen consistent errosion. Really since the 1970's. I think this is mostly due to republicans....but it’s true that Clinton did not speak to that base and Trump did.

Yup. It’s a lot of high-school educated white people who are doing well for themselves but see that their children are going to have to get college degrees and gasp! actually compete with POC instead of being able to make a great living coasting on whiteness and mediocrity.

It’s because, rich or poor, lots of people just don’t like the Clintons, especially Hillary. This isn’t some kind of new development and it’s exactly why I didn’t vote for her in the primaries. Nominating someone who is already unpopular was a really bad choice.

“There will be years of recriminations in our future. Many Democrats will, as is their habit, conclude that the fault lies with the left wing of the party — that progressive party activists did not sufficiently support the candidate or that leftward attacks weakened Clinton. But that notion hides a simple fact: In an…

ummmmmm what? Not sure what that has to do with L.L Bean, the article itself says.

I am so tired of the Girlboss term. As a business owner myself I hate to be described that way. First of all we are women, and second of all I’d like to be a boss without the added descriptor. I know some women business owners wear it as a badge of honor but I do not.

I was thinking this last night, as I sat watching CNN. I’m fucking mad at the media. FUCKING IRATE. Because they fucking helped us believe that someone like him would never win, they concentrated on how crazy he was, they perpetuated the narrative that sanity would prevail. Well, if they’d actually paid attention and…

If you haven’t seen it, look up Van Jones’ remarks from tonight about how race factored into this election. He refers to it as a “whitelash”. It was as much about fighting back against a broken political system as it was the conservative white population fighting back against the great strides we’ve made around…

It’s kind of like the well-intentioned but stupid people who think that unpasteurized milk is a gift of the health gods and everybody should drink it at every opportunity. There was recently a case in our area of a woman who served it to a school sports team, and half the kids got sick from it. Look, big dairy is a…

Holy mother of pearl. Real consequences to the sports ball game for grossly sexist and dehumanizing behavior.

Isn’t the argument less about the code existing or even the discernible effects of it and more about the way he defines his variables based on his perceptions? I’m basing this on the fact that he decided to defend his perceptions before saying that it doesn’t matter anyway because of what actually manifests in the…

Someone who writes code is going to need an understanding of formal logic, even if it’s merely implicit (I’ve noticed as a philosophy TA that programmers tend to take to logical argumentation pretty easily). I’m pretty sure he understands the law of non-contradiction. I don’t actually have a final opinion on this guy…

Why is straight up commentary labeled “Thought Police”? Obviously, someone did an investigation and presented the results. I disagree with your characterization.

You’re against “thought police” but are upset about the idea of..... someone having a thought.

I wish developers who create things with strong implicit biases, could just admit they did so with bias involved. As humans, certain experiences make it very easy to create things that cater specifically narrow standards, right?

I feel like admitting that we are flawed and can always do better, is way more acceptable…
