My favorite part was the host’s next sentence “We have these beautiful, wonderful.... STRONG women running for congressional seats.” She had to search for strong, but thank god the women are beautiful. No dogs allowed!

I don’t drive, because I live in a country with excellent public transport so there is no need to drive if you live in an urban area. I also got a year’s paid leave with my son, get free health care, paid sick leave, subsidized child care, free higher education and I have never worried that I would be the victim in a…
That right there is also the reason why you’re losing everyone under the age of 40: it’s not our obligation to be grateful for us not being Saudi Arabia. It’s not on us to be grateful that, in fact, our promises that we are the land of the free and the home of the brave are sometimes honored. Occasionally, for some of…
The implication of “my country” and “fighting for” are clear to me. Normally when you say something like “fight for my country” you are speaking of an external enemy, but in this case we know that by “my country” they mean “my white privilege” because that’s really all that is threatened by giving equal treatment to…
I’m surprised they allowed the brunette in. Seems pretty pretty reckless to allow a non-blonde into the scene here.
Saudi women can drive now; pick up a newspaper.
Women in Saudi Arabia can’t drive? I’d never know that if the GOP didn’t constantly point that out.
Scruggs, who died in 2001, did not sleep with someone to get the story, so the Atlanta Journal-Constitution is demanding the movie release a clear statement exonerating Scruggs.
The reason there’s no Baby Yoda merch for Christmas is because Kevin Feige didn’t want the reveal to be spoiled. If it wasn’t this way, we’d have known about Baby Yoda back in July.
This. Obviously it’s unrealistic to expect any company to solve this kind of problem completely, but the denial, minimizing and “when you factor in the whole world it’s not THAT many” take is not discouraging this behavior. Hell, you might as well announce that as long as you don’t murder anybody or commit too many…
The problem here isn’t that sexual assault exists in a taxi service like Uber (though, obviously that *is* a problem), the problem is that they do a terrible job of responding to events of sexual violence on their platform. They have the tools to make Uber much safer than a traditional taxi service (GPS tracking;…
Oh, man, I was FUMING at the NPR story about this last night. I get the scale thing, and they’re not wrong about the fact that at those sheer numbers, you’re gonna have bad shit happen. But, look, we’re not asking Uber to fix humanity and solve the problem of sexual assault in society, we’re asking Uber to appropriatel…
How many zeros after the decimal before safety feels guaranteed—in an Uber and in the world at large?
Brucie my sweet! How in God's name are you still there?
Shelter Cat Update!
Today is the last day of National Novel Writing Month, also known as NaNoWriMo, and being someone who is writing with a chronic illness that impedes my mental acuity — namely, multiple sclerosis — I did better than I thought. I’m over 16k words as of this post and I plan to continue until I finish my first draft.
He knows what he’s done. So he knows what he’s guilty of. He’s just upset that he can’t keep doing it.
He also said he believes he has already been “judged, sentenced, and convicted” by the public
“virginity” is not a medical term
Hello Games is so committed to No Man’s Sky, even after the disastrous launch, and that’s just the most endearing thing. I don’t play it a lot, mostly because I become a little obsessed/borderline addicted, but I still think it’s one of the most fascinating and enjoyable console sandbox games I’ve ever played, and I’m…
