From the NYT:

This is the kind of bullshit mindset that allowed husbands raping wives to be legal for so fucking long. Yes, stranger rape is troubling. Some asshole using Tinder to target women is also troubling. So is the woman being raped by a coworker. And the guy the ordered an elderly woman pizza and then raped her. All of…

I hope these cities keep stepping up and showing that, no, not everyone in this state wants things this way (looking at my home state, Texas).

My cousin was chasing me around our grandparents’ backyard throwing bricks at me that he carried in twos and threes on his tricycle. I hated it when he did this but he was an asshole kid and thought it was hilarious. He never got in trouble- his mom always said I made too much of a fuss even when I went limping back…

And it’s not even true. Not true.

That does suck, but it was nice of you to step up and say something. If you hadn’t, he might have thought she was overreacting.

I think it can be confusing for guys at times because some women truly do not want a man’s help but others appreciate the step up. The only thing you can do I think is assess the situation and decide if you would feel worse by not saying something. Even if it’s just a simple, “not funny,” or “she’s a woman, not a…

You might see it but not realize it for what it is. My best guy friend- someone I’ve known for over 10 years- laughed it off when he asked why I kicked out a mutual friend of ours that was staying with me when I said he pulled some unwanted sexual shit with me and had to go. His response, “Haha, sounds like him.” When…

You sound like an amazing mom. Sometimes I look back on the stupid shit I put up with to remain likeable when I was younger and I know that I got a lot of that from my own mother. When I was in my later teen years she went through a divorce and had to look for a job and support herself and us and she became very…

I feel like this is going to be one of many, many posts starting with “Kellyanne Conway says” followed by stupid/aggravating/inaccurate shit.

Yeah, I’m not buying that this wasn’t a PR attempt. I think it was a calculated risk. They knew sticking her on a JetBlue- fucking JetBlue, might as well be Spirit- flight would endear her to the people that are already all about the Trumps- looks she’s just like me!- and piss off everyone else. If nobody said…

A lot of due process violations are procedural technicalities.

If the trial was fair the appellate court would not have deemed it fundamentally unfair. Disclosure is part of the rules.

Post-trial, maybe (depends), but not for a habeas proceeding. In general, it’s not good practice to use outdated science (aside from the obvious reasons) because in some states it can be used to later in a habeas proceeding. I haven’t gone through the transcripts to know how much the science was a factor in this case…

The use of outdated science during a trial can lead to the release of a convicted person during a habeas proceeding in some states. It does not matter if the validity of the science was in question at the time of trial. If that state has a “junk science statute” on the books the validity can be addressed then in…

Apparently because the prosecutor played on racism and homophobia in order to obtain the conviction, from what I’m reading.

Due process matters, though. If he’s guilty (seems to be) and there’s enough evidence he’ll likely be found guilty in the new trial.

He’s got so much going on, on his face, so many beautiful colors to pick out. It’s a really good one to do because there’s so much to look at and kind of get in there, whether it’s his hair or the coloring, he’s got a lot going on.”

From the Atlantic:

No, I have no idea what sort of affiliation the gunman had. Just making a general comment that attacks on Muslims don’t affect terrorist groups really!
