“...acquitted because the victims were brown and gay.”

I agree with the lesser sentence - not because I particularly have sympathy for car thieves, but because if would-be thieves who accidentally find themselves in this situation know that they won’t be penalized for taking the baby, I’d think they’d be more likely to do what this guy did. If they know that they’ll get…

CW: I don’t want to ‘trigger’ anyone, so be warned that I may unintentionally use the wrong words/genders/language. I mean no harm by it, but I understand why it could be hard to see.

Kesha!!

Yep. I pretty much hate everyone involved here, for all the reasons already laid out beautifully in these comments. Team no one FTW!

This is super helpful. Do you (or anyone) know how disable the ‘instant personalization’ that shows up at the bottom of some websites? When I visit some places, it already has my Facebook set up for me to comment, which I hate. I’ve been googling it, but the most recent instructions are from 2012, which makes me think…

I. Always. HATED. Ernie - for exactly these reasons. LEAVE BERT ALONE HE DOESN’T WANT TO TALK TO YOU OMIGOSH(&#^@&!!

Okay, yes, but...if Harriot would take one for the team, the dragging would be eeeeeepic. Then we could all enjoy it without actually seeing it!

I’m just...at such a loss. There seems to be absolutely nothing good about this man. Every day reveals another layer of monstrosity, another affront to basic human decency. Some days it’s hard to believe that a person like this exists in the world - but then you have to contend with the fact that tens of millions of…

Not being American myself, it’s sometimes really hard to watch news stories about these people’s lives being upended, knowing that there is literally nothing I can do to help. It’s particularly gut-wrenching when you hear about how scared the children in these communities are. I hope you’re hanging in there, you and…

I loved when the governor said “I just think we should do a little less tweeting and a little more listening.” The tone and pacing sounded like he was explaining something to a very young, petulant child.

This is horrifying.

To which I say...

Honestly...and they’re interrupting my reading time. How dare you, sir.

The number of “good for you”s that I’ve gotten while reading in public. I just...
