It should be required that all Americans learn about the internment of Japanese Americans. In addition, we should also teach kids that even after shoving them into camps and treating them like scum, Japanese American men actually volunteered serve in the military to defend their country. The 442 Regiment fought in the

The novel explicitly says the hotel doesn’t go after Wendy, Duvall’s character, because she is too strong. It goes after Jack because he’s weak. The hotel realises Wendy is a threat, and that’s why it tries to get Jack to kill her. None of this is in the movie, Kubrick turned an interesting, strong female character

You know, the one thing I wish people had really driven home about her emails is this; If you’ve never had to use a government computer, then you do not know how fucked and far behind government computers and government computer acquisition is. You think it’s hard to build a fucking stealth bomber, try updating

Can we just have a round of appreciation here for the Jezebel writers, who have been ON THIS SHIT like nobody’s business? I am filled with love right now.

Which leads us to Plan L.

I’m with Brett.

You and millions of others who worked all their lives only see the goal posts moved and the safety nets removed.

You KNOW it!

Oh HELL no. Good for you standing up to him, the jerk. Along the same vein I was downstairs the other day getting coffee and a guy who works in my building was standing next to me and noticed the safety pin on my shirt. Our only interaction up to that point had been nods in the lobby, etc. He smirked and said, “Oh

Ahh to be blonde, wealthy, white and on television.

I haven’t struggled with drug addiction, but a friend of mine came into a large amount of money, and then proceeded to party it all away in a couple of months time, doing way too many drugs. I didn’t see her during that time, and was absolutely shocked when I saw the result. She went from being literally the smartest

Yep. Welcome to the post factual world.

I’m getting the little nerdy guy on agents of s.h.i.e.l.d.? Ian...Something

That attitude? That snarky snap judgment you just goosed up there on response to thoughtful and, frankly, good, practical advice? Based on nothing other than the writer’s previous previous fucking employer?

Does it really matter who she worked for? She has some great advice and she clearly recognizes how this target audience is feeling. I’m sharing this article...I was motivated by her tweets yesterday and it’s good advice.

I think this was the woman who was interviewed by This American Life in their last episode. Don’t dismiss her, she had a lot of very smart things to say and everything she said about how congress works is absolutely correct.

“Dr. Carson feels he has no government experience, he’s never run a federal agency. The last thing he would want to do was take a position that could cripple the presidency.”

The judge’s response to the letters is pretty sharp.

IT IS NOT NATE SILVER’S FAULT THAT PEOPLE DON’T UNDERSTAND PROBABILITIES. He gave Trump a higher chance of winning the presidency than the Cubs had of coming back and winning the World Series after Game 4 and we literally all JUST saw that happen. He doesn’t conduct the polls, he aggregates them, and there was no way

You know how in Star Wars, Darth Vader commits genocide and enables galaxy-wide oppression and suffering but, at the end, decides that maybe he’s not cool with some creepy old dude electrocuting his son (who he himself has tried to kill several times)? Yeah, Darth Vader is still an evil fuck and not heroic in the
