They invariably...wear at least one piece of jewelry with an ankh.

Of course it’s Katie Roiphe. Of course!

She peddles a lot of nonsense like The Secret and mindless consumerism. We need *more* critical thinking in society, not less. Also, the idea of lurching between nice/mean billionaire overlords should make any respectable American puke.

Good, I’m glad the only one who didn’t see “President Oprah?” headlines and feel my eyeballs roll away. Maybe she’s famous and makes a decent speech, but those aren’t the only (or even the key) qualifications. And let’s not forget that she introduced us to the bullshit of Dr Oz, promoted anti-vaxxerism with Jenny…

This. Donald Fucking Trump is the fucking president and they’re asking, “Yeah, but is she the RIGHT democrat to go up against a piece of shit?”

Bros won’t vote for any woman. They will always find a bullshit reason for why they can’t support her.

Too bad she is blonde and woman-y..

I don’t especially care for Gillibrand (she does, I think, have a rather...malleable...ideology), but there is literally no such thing as a non-opportunistic politician, and suggesting that her real malfeasance lies in telling sexual assaulters in her party to leave politics is some mindbogglingly misogynistic…

I’m going to be Captain Obvious here- there are lots of people who don’t spend hundreds of dollars to see pop stars, or video games, or even food. The Met has been free because as an institution (with help from the government and donors) they decided that even people who can’t shell out to see Taylor Swift should…

He doesn’t have any pets, and called the Pence family trashy because they have a couple cats and a rabbit. He managed to make Mike Pence seem likable!

This seems less a Catch Me If You Can/ Dr. Love issue and more an immigration/ medical training issue. He is an actual board certified OB/GYN physician who completed the training and is qualified; he did however use a false name and SSNs to continue his training. If as a foreign medical grad you fail the boards twice,…

“What I’ve actually learned is that the work of keeping your path clear is a continual process, one so all-consuming that you may not ever have the time to look up and see where you’re going”

That is already illegal. No company can legally fire you for talking about your salary with other employees. It’s part of your right to discuss working conditions.

That’s illegal if you’re in the US. Look up the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 (NLRA). There are some even stronger statutes at the state level, so check your state as well.

I think there absolutely is a place for displaying these kinds of relics of the not-so-distant past: the Jim Crow Museum of Racist Memorabilia. Displaying this sign in a modern restaurant without any kind of education, context, or fucking PURPOSE is inherently racist. So unless this restaurant owner wants to do an…

...again, we want to stress we do not intend to offend anyone, and are only preserving a part of history that should remind us all of the senselessness of racial prejudice.”

Well, a less disingenuous way to do that would be to donate this item to a museum so that it could be placed in a proper context and supplemented…

Most self-professed “animal rights” folks I’ve met are straight-up misanthropic assholes. They also all smell like cat pee.

There is something deeply ironic/dystopian/San Franciscan about an animal rights advocacy group using a robot to harass homeless people.

So today I read a headline that started with “anti-homeless robot.”

Having spent 16 years in catholic school including two universities, I can attest to the fact that the catholics are taught to care more about the life and dignity of living human beings than they do about fetuses.
