I mean, he sucks, but to put him in the same sentence as a rapist seems dramatically unfair.

please tell me the video whence this gif comes.

The State Department sets foreign per diem rates, which I would link here except that Chrome is telling me they might be trying to steal my passwords.

I know several sets of parents who lets their children and grandchildren interact with a pedophile. I don’t think it’s a choice I would make, but it’s the one they’ve made nonetheless. It’s a real struggle for me to wrap my head around the community ties that make one less likely to re-offend and the visceral reaction…

I can’t believe you left out noted pig-fucker David Cameron.

Abdi and the Golden Ticket! Definitely worth listening to.

“I hope Caster Semenya wins. I hope she wins everything. Even the golf.”

Thank GOD that Katie Ledecky looks “feminine” enough to avoid this bullshit.

She runs a 1:55.28. David Rudisha, who won gold in the mens’ 800m, runs a 1:42.15. Why is she more male than female? How would this be more fair?
