Right?! I was just going to come here to say that. If you want to apply that logic to someone caught with pot, sure, that makes perfect sense. But to an actual violent crime? No way.

It’s amazing how consistently the entire justice system has vastly more compassion and empathy for the perpetrator than the victim when the crime is rape. It’s just so UNFAIR to ruin a nice boy’s life over a little crime like that.

Yeah, I dunno, honestly, I’m pretty ok with retributivism when it comes to violent crime. If you’re a rapist or a murder, that’s your ass. Let’s talk about rehabilitation when it comes to things like burglary and drug charges. Rape and murder? Nah, that’s cool, completely ok with revenge as a justification for…

I only bang ex-coworkers, I’m friendly and flirty with them when they work there and then stay in touch with them after they transfer or quit.

is Ted Cruz groping himself?
“...and the hooome of the...HHNNNNGG *tweaks nipple* bb-b-b-brraaaave...uuhhhhhhyeaaah”

From what I read, courtesy of a military lady I follow on twitter, the hand on the heart is just a thing schools teach kids, it’s not a requirement. As long as you stand during the anthem, that’s all that’s necessary.

I’m continually baffled about the full-throated demand for visible patriotism. It’s possible to be very patriotic without plastering the flag over every part of your body, wearing flag pins, or arranging one’s limbs in required formation during moments of high emotion. There’s no requirement to put one’s hand over…

I’m kind of confused at some of the comments which seems to think the article is being 100% positive. I think it’s being pretty evenhanded, especially in the woman running for Saudi Arabia by noting how all of the pics of her running normally at home have been scrubbed from the internet (that’s frankly the scariest…

Thanks for asking Kerry. I’m reading The Pillars of The Earth. It’s been on my bookshelf for years and never touched it and I regret every year I didn’t. So good.

Not sending people to prison for non-violent crimes is not that radical an idea, actually.

I’m explaining what I think his argument is, not agreeing with it. I’m not defending him at all.

What is the ostensible reason not to allow an inmate to shower? It's amazing to me the depth of torture we allow prison guards to inflict upon inmates for no reason at all.

I mean... I have kids (2 girls and one mystery baby currently gestating) and my cat went missing for a few hours on Wednesday and I went full Joyce Byers over it.

She is not good at lip-syncing... I think that’s what makes it so cringey to watch for me.

in 50 years there’ll be more than just one. So there’s that. But yeah, this guy is just really good in his roles. Also, his face is just very unique, so it’s hard to forget him. Add Short Term 12to your list if you haven’t seen it

i just want to say, as an arab, i love that there is an arab leading man that is about to be the internet’s boyfriend, and his arab-ness is not a thing that is discussed or pointed out or whatever. he happens to be arab. he is mostly hot. i am so happy.

FYI: The Mothers of the Movement portion of the DNC last night was cut from Fox’s broadcast. Nice to know you can omit footage when you claim to offer full broadcast coverage if it's not to your liking.

I wouldn't pay a dime. Judge was an unmitigated prick for making a thing out of the pin in the first place, but the client was the more important issue at the time.

Daenerys is corrupt? Incompetent, maybe...but corrupt? Nah. Plus, if she wins we get Tyrion as Warden of the West and Hand of the Queen.

And they’re all wrong.
