She deleted the son’s text messages before presenting them to the police.

And you poor, poor trolls. Hating us is not going to make your miserable existence any more bearable. Your hate isn’t going get your mediocre boy and girl into an elite university. Your impotent rage isn’t going to get you out of your shitty suburban apartment complex into some equally shitty exurban house with an…

No, it was definitely “right” not to take a case like this to trial.

Sad and probably true.

He’s a creep, but this is the right outcome.  Once Mom admitted she tampered with the phone to protect her son and Dad admitted they couldn’t find the phone, the prosecution had no chance.

he can try to but he’s not going to have nearly an easy a time as if he was groping teenage girls.

Not to defend the governor here, but Foxhoven was often described by his colleagues as “Makavelian.”

Nah, he didn’t actually resign, he’s just working remotely from Malaysia.

That’s actually a legitimate reason, though, when you consider that the Louvre and other institutions need to assure current and future donors that their name won’t be stripped from a gallery (or classroom or whatever) just because “the P.C. police”* came for them. For example, I work at a university, and our new…

I can appreciate the desire to reframe language that triggers people. Being a “liberal” is frequently construed with being an unbalanced anti-capitalist socialist maniac, because of the work the right has done to destroy the word. Not everything she’s attempted is a bad thing- “abortion care” and “reproductive health”…

Yeah, it’s really infuriating to see feminists fall for it especially.

Totally to all of that. And I wasn’t thinking about Maxwell in the Samantha Morton light but as this bitch:

The pedestal they put us on is usually a trap.

“We lack the appropriate tools to understand.”

Women are people, which means we all have the same innate ability to be terrible.

this is a classic “where were the parents?” scenario

Maybe it’s the Harlots talking but Ghislaine Maxwell does not remotely surprise me. Then again, I’m in my 30s, not a teenager or young woman. 

Yep. And people on keto cut all that crap out and suddenly find they feel better and are losing weight. It’s a good thing, but it’s not because your liver is producing ketones - it’s because you stopped cramming poison down your hole, and for probably the first time in your life are aware of the macronutrient value of…

Considering that just about every diet since the term started achieving broad currency in the Seventies has been functionally about having an eating disorder, why should keto be any different?

What did carbs do to people that made them hate deliciousness so much? I also think these long term “diets” are nothing more than a cover for disordered eating.
