I’ve been avoiding this story but I guess I’m done with that.

Its almost like if we had less guns this would be less likely to happen, because all the other tropes (“mental health” “criminals will always get a gun” “not enough police on site to stop the bad guys” etc.) don’t really apply here.

It’s ironic  sad that it will be easier to take away the lady’s child than her gun.

Saw it with the railroads and seeing it now with this: It is categorically insane that we let the motive for private profit dictate operational decisions in industries that are crucial for the health and safety of Americans (in the case of nursing) and for the American economy (in the case of railroads).  Who is…

Glad to see a media establishment institution with the juice of the Wall Street Journal step into this situation. The unequal treatment of journalists according to skin color, in 2023. Hopefully this will lead to real changes.

It’s sad and frightening how much effort is spent by obviously terrified and stupid white people in attacking and suppressing black people. Literally people whose bones this nation was built on.

Don’t flirt with them.

Also, the suggestion that the police are called every time someone is heard yelling on a college campus ... just ... sigh.

Obligatory “grammar Nazi” moment: Comedy Central is looking for Noah’s SUCCESSOR. Jon Stewart was Noah’s PREDECESSOR.

The “I got caught face” on that guy. LOL!

So that old wench’s name is actually “Hussey”?!

You can remain calm and still validate their feelings.

As you said, high and racist. 

sounds like someone had some serious coke strength

Ol’ gurl injured six deputies; sounds like someone had some serious coke strength.

You know what, I’m fine with this. Ending generational poverty is an intersectional matter, and hardliners on both sides have made it impossible for decades. If this is what it takes, then this is what it takes, and I can live with it.

100%. My previous boss was against giving any of the admin staff raises because “she made less than we did when she was our age and she managed to buy a house and raise a kid on her own”. Bitch it was the 60s, this gate keeping bullshit is so annoying on so many levels

For her to just say the quiet part out loud and admit that she was only mad because she never got to take it easy during her pregnancies!!! How did she think anything she said after that could be in any way credible or seem like actual medical advice?!

“Because I had three kids. I worked up until the second they were born.”

Excellent thesis. Right on the head. ‘Zero-sum’ is what America and Americans are all about anymore. After all, ‘Looking out for #1' doesn’t allow for anything else for anyone else. I wish us all the best of luck.
