I know I am in the minority here, but I’m not a huge fan of Terry Gross. I can’t really put my finger on it - - but she seems, um, just really, um, scatterbrained or um, not really prepared for her um, interviews.

The entire process of trial - let alone the police investigation - is structured to be psychologically, legally, and socially ruinous for the rape victim. Any district attorney who purports to rue the astonishingly low rates at which women report rape to the authorities is grandstanding in the worst way. Every single…

I feel like it’s time for a “How Not to Terrorize, Humiliate, Unlawfully Detain, and Otherwise Viciously Punish Rape Victims” section on the bar exam, right after Contracts, but before Multistate Torts.

Remember this is an open carry state.

Is it still called the cavalry if it’s dogs instead of horses?

Did anybody expect any different? Brown’s never been much of a liberal and we’re teetering precariously on the edge of purpleness, anyway, and have done steadily since we nominally turned blue. The influence of inland hillbillies, beginning around the Davis recall, isn’t going away, and now we’ve got self-professed…

At least you’re not knee-deep in some stagnant pond Lady-of-the-Lake-like, peering at your nude, chubby King Arthur and his canine Knight of the Roundtable, Sir Barksalot.

The debate over safe spaces, too, has become cartoonized, a shorthand way to complain about privileged millennials

“...that said protesting campus speakers ‘violated the University’s long-standing commitment to free expression:’”

(What they didn’t tell you in law school is that justice, in fact, isn’t blind. It’s just nearsighted. With some corrective lenses or a bit of LASIK, justice can see clearly and make some exceptions based on common sense.)

Eh, this is a lot of ideas rolled into one. Unqualified, unearned praise is indeed useless. But self-care and self-acceptance are truly necessary to becoming a better human.

Love Samantha Bee so much.

samantha bee is a damn national treasure, for two nations, and she can pinch her d**k between my legs any time she chooses.

WHAT IS HAPPENING TO THIS FAMILY!

I fully plan on doing this with my thesis too! If a baby takes 9 months to gestate and this stupid document takes 6-7 years (pray for me) you’re damn right I’m going to celebrate it publicly. I also don’t plan to have human babies so this thesis baby is it for me.

This is excellent. I kind of want to do something similar to this- a “birth” announcement upon completion/acceptance of my thesis. It’s my baby, dammit. I’ll obnoxiously post photos of me cradling and staring down at the hardcover bound book, listing all the details like, “she’s a solid 1.5 lbs, 8.5 x 11 inches, with…

This is truly delightful. I love the amount of effort she put into everything (the coffee mug, for example).

Never mind the paintings, who created the amazing artwork that is the Jezebel Titanic logo?

Ungraying the poor people stuck in the grays who are not meany-pants, and occasionally post a silly comment.....asking for a friend....
