I think this is unfair, because Bernie HAS protested. he’s been arrested protesting.

She didn’t credit Bernie with CHIP, that’s just not what she said.

No, she didn’t. You just can’t read. She said that she grew up with a program that helped some people, while Bernie was fighting for a program that would help all people. Obviously Bernie wasn’t behind CHIP, come on.

I live in DC and usually manage to find a place that will cut my hair for $60 (before tip). It’s hard! You basically have to try to get a junior stylist who doesn’t have an established client base to cut for you, and be very cognizant of what neighborhood you’re in. I lived in a neighborhood a couple of years ago…

Exactly! He’s a fucking rapist creep, and turning around and calling the women he assaulted lying sluts does’t change that. God what a piece of shit.

Purple candy often does taste like concord grapes, though. Just not the kinds of grapes people usually eat. 

I do actually think that by making an incest joke, the teacher sort of minimizes how evil the flag really is. I mean, people who display the confederate flag deserve every form of mockery. They’re trash and should be treated like trash. But within the classroom environment it’s probably better to take it seriously as…

This is dumb, particularly the part about not using a broken escalator as stairs. There literally aren’t stairs in much of the Metro system in DC. The elevators break regularly and are very slow, so they really need to be saved for people who need them. So what are we supposed to do when the escalator is broken, just…

Honestly this is an extremely weird thing to do, and a small donation of a few little toiletries to a charity doesn’t really make it less insane. 

Aren’t they always hawking toxic “diet” products to teens though? 

I need to try this—anything to keep my smoke detectors from going off every time I dare to brown or sear anything.

Sure, you do! And I have a list of scientists who say that eating bacon cures cancer.

I don’t think I’d report an assault to the police or ever go public, because everyone accuses you of making it up and if it’s a famous person you get death threats and stuff and nothing ever happens to the actual rapist. It’s clearly not worth it. 

There’s no way she couldn’t feel it. I’d assume she knows, but can’t tug her swimsuit back down while her hands are full, and politely avert my gaze and mind my own business. 

This isn’t true though

You’re being obtuse. It’s easy to say “oh they’re just being a brat” from the outside. But this is a real thing! It’s a mental illness and you can’t fix those by using force. I do think that parents of children with this issue should try to get them to eat gummy vitamins or whatever, but this is distinct from run of…

This is a good way of putting it. I’ve also seen it said that when you tell a girl not to wear a short skirt or get drunk, you’re really saying, “make sure he rapes some other girl.”

This is so true. When she was “Dear Prudence,” someone could mention in a letter that their spouse has one drink with dinner most nights, and she’d focus her whole response on how their spouse is clearly addicted to alcohol. She is absolutely unhinged on the subject!

No sexual assault survivor who knows who Emily Yoffe is would EVER trust her with their story! She is obsessed with alcohol as the cause of all the world’s problems, and she thinks women are ALWAYS lying about rape.

What if it’s just the statement (that they are crying because i handed them the banana they asked for), without a photo or your child’s name? Not a parent, just curious. When your kid grows up they could still see that you tweeted that during their youth, but no one else is likely to find it.
