Yeah, seriously. This weekend was yet another reminder of how shitty our media is. Cooper’s generally one of the less-shitty ones, but his performance here was awful. Ditto the whole Chris Wallace thing on Fox... like, yeah, I get why it’s a big deal, but it kind of sets our current situation into stark relief when…

As an aside I want to point out how infuriating the media can be at times. Cooper asks her if Trump is a racist. First of all, why ask her that? You’re a journalist, go find the fuck out and report it. He’s not interested in informing us, he’s interested in generating conflict to drive ratings. And to drive that point…

Make sure to check out Paul Krugman’s newest column in the NY Times. He has some nice things to say about her, and some nasty things to say about conservative so-called economic intellectuals.

“How can you say that?”

That Overton window shifting into some new light. I love it!!!!

Is there any evidence or study on law enforcement believing white women over black men? I’m thinking of OJ, Jameis Winston, Greg Hardy etc, it seems like no one believes women regardless of color. 

It’s nice of him to acknowledge the obvious and apologize. If anyone thinks that R. Kelly would be waking around free if he was assaulting Britney, Megan and Ashley from Winnetka and Wilmette, then I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Waiting to hear from Jay-Z, Lady Gaga, Lil Kim, etc. who were all happy to work with him…

How disappointing to hear such misguided animus toward Speaker Pelosi because she didn’t answer a question the way others demand that she answer. She validated the BLM Movement in her initial response. Those of us African Americans who support the BLM Movement but who also understand politics don’t reflexively try to…

Trump and his supporters are way too stupid to understand the nuances of a concept like terrorrists are far more likely to come in by airports, so a shutdown that hurts TSA also plays into terrorrists hands.

FDR: The dirty socialist America elected four times and only stopped electing him because he died.

It’s becoming difficult to keep track of all the sexual predators in her orbit.

You might take a second look at your ageist implicit bias.

I love that she has the guts to clap back at these blowhards but is doing it in a way that is not calling them liars, sexists or alarmists, but by basically calling them idiots and making them prove their knowledge. I don’t think a lot of our politicians really know their stuff when it comes to constitutional law, tax…

This is ridiculous. I get having strong anti-discrimination laws, but being anti-women only spaces isn’t being supportive of that; it’s fully, intentionally anti-woman. The law needs to have allowances for women (and men) only spaces where appropriate (this would include gyms, and colleges, for example). Men have had,…

What really pisses me off is this particular narrative, about how Liz Warren hasn’t used her position to strengthen the rights of Native Americans. Which is definitely *FAIR*, I will grant that.

No.

Isn’t it a little manufactured considering Native American issues rarely get covered by the media? I would be willing to bet in the last 5 years there has been much more intense Native anger on different topics that got zero coverage in the media. I mean the media barely bothered to cover voter suppression. Seems a…

I’m one of those every-day Americans who has a problem wondering what the backlash is really about.

No doubt there are a lot of Britons who feel this way, but the “people on Twitter said this thing” has to be one of my least favorite pieces of new journalism. There are people on Twitter who say they want to fuck Gritty. We gonna write a story about that now? Actually someone on Giz media probably already has.

I used this technique (not knowing what it was called) for a class final project in December. It involved finding some area to research on my own and perform my own analysis on it. It was a lot of work and I had no idea where to begin, so I just did a method of working for 35 min and then taking a break for 10…
