I was inspired to look into what blackout drunk means exactly after a piece here about a rape case involving a person under such a condition who had left texts. I had always assumed it meant you got so drunk that you were passed out or obviously incoherent. But apparently a person in that state can talk, be on the…

Let’s be clear- blackout drunk isn’t the same as passed out drunk. If she appeared coherent (& he was drunk too) - he under no obligation to conduct a field sobriety test. Hell, actually if he was drunk too- then maybe it was mutual rape.

A beast makes the ugliest noises when it’s not being heard.

It is consolation to me. I find comfort in statistics. That’s why I was fine sending my kids to their non-LAUSD preschool today. The threat was against a handful of LAUSD schools, so I don’t see why I should be concerned sending my child to a non-LAUSD school - yet apparently I’m in a minority, because Facebook moms’…

You’d think they’d be able to heat the school with propane and propane accessories.

“Nothing is more important than the safety of our kids.”

Um, no. If the things they alleged actually took place, I hope these plaintiffs take McQueen to cleaners. But there is literally no way to know that at this point, one way or the other. That’s what the legal system is for—figuring out what actually happened and apportioning justice on that basis.

You need to calm down. These are three or four employees out of hundreds in North and South America and thousands in the world.

Hmm...could the solution be gov subsidized ladies’ nights?

So, this is the problem with the media’s reporting of these claims:

Sikh and Islam are completely different religions which aren’t remotely related to each other. It’s like racists aren’t even trying to educate themselves anymore.

It’s also his 400th birthday! As someone who named their child after a Shakespearean character, I’m pretty excited about this.

I want to know more about how Patty got her nickname. Maybe I don’t.

BLADE AND THOR

It was just so good until I noticed the writing at the bottom. Then it became great.

OR they are over the age of 35 and just can’t let a sentence go without proper punctuation because they weren’t raised that way. Cher excepted because she has the soul of a teenager I suppose.

They do in fact do very well in China.

Try telling that to most white people.

Where is this concept that Transformers panders to straight white males coming from? The film grossed 350 million domestically and a whopping 1.1 BILLION globally. So either the film is watched by a very diverse group of people or I’m grossly underestimating the amount of white people in Asia. So while the film is…

You're ignoring the entire POINT of the case. The whole point of this - and what her attorneys argued - is that we should be moving towards class-based affirmative action, not race-based affirmative action.
