For a citizen of a country that is fucking over its citizens, its residents, and the world at large 6 different ways to Sunday, the Grenfell fire still seems particularly egregious to me. It struck me when it happened, and I still find myself thinking about it a good bit, and checking up on it from afar.

UK Update:
Just tell him not to eat a Tide pod and he probably will.
Adults voted in Trump and that’s incredibly more stupid than eating tide pods.
This is where we are as a society. We’re so bored we’re eating laundry soap for attention.
Pedantry alert, but the character is NOT Japanese-American. He’s an offworlder from a colony settled by Japanese and Eastern Europeans (hence Takeshi Kovacs). Many of the characters from Harlan’s World have nebulous, mixed ancestry.
And how many people have defended their use of the N-word by claiming is just means low class or lazy? “Oh i didn’t mean Black people, I just meant, you know...”
I also hope they get the same calls from their fathers, grandfathers, brothers and sons.

MSU shouldn’t be allowed to have an athletic department anymore. If you fail to maintain a safe environment for your students for more than two decades, you lose the right to participate in college sports.
How do you think they organize the evidence folders? Like, “Traitor,” “Thief,” “OH MY GOD,” “Please stab my eyes out now” ?
I mean, just complimenting her beauty and brains, and using his daughter as some kind of comparison, in and of itself, is not a bad thing.
I don’t really have any issues trusting the word of a sex worker based on their work alone.
Give it Mueller so he can add it to the pile.
I heard that the obsession with his daughter has to do with his narcissist personality. He sees her as an extension of himself, someone that is “the most beautiful woman in the world, according to everyone, and I helped create her.”
