This. Plus, the usual “we got this, don’t worry your pretty head” handwave-away-problems approach to policy seems far more condescending than Warren's.

Me too, but  worth a minor correction: This is occurring in Northern Ireland, not the Republic. Savita Halappanavar died in Galway, which is in the Republic. Theoretically, the Republic has already legalised, though reports on the ground suggest it’s not as accessible yet as it should be. Meanwhile back to NI, this is…

tbh I’m surprised that Sephora even gave a shit about this kind of thing. 

Yeah, I was just thinking about that. I’m through the looking glass now where I don’t know if they are just this dumb or if this is part of a concerted 1984 gaslighting effort. 

How, HOW do they manage to dress themselves every day? Actually, extend that to Pirro and all Fox News viewers watching this and being like “yeah, that’s right!” Like... at some point, doesn’t this level of dumb make one fatally choke on a pretzel?

Honestly, if it didn't have a source attached, I'd think that was Tomatoface.

“legit progressive”

Ahahahahahaa! He tried that?! Tell us more!

oh oh oh, beg to differ - he’s definitely trying to take credit for “capturing” ISIS...

fuckin hell now i get it, thank you and also fuck you :/

I miss splinter/Gawker/jez in their previous iterations where it was less performatively woke snark and celebrity coverage, and more actual analysis and insight. I learned a lot in those days and it's been lacking. I want it back, but as how it used to be.

na, she can diminish and go into the west

The fact that it’s all quiet on the twit front makes me suspect that someone has literally just stolen his phone in desperatio today.

The combination of that much hair gel while being QUITE that smug always gets me with this family. Like, okay sure, he doesn’t have the self-awareness to hold up a metaphorical mirror to the bullshit he’s talking, but he MUST have access to ACTUAL mirrors, which would surely inform him that he always looks like a…

Not at all wild if you assume qualification for prez is straight white dick.

He also tried to shift the blame to Boris, which I support, but this definitely has his grubby orange fingerprints all over.

I wrote about this earlier over on Groupthink (https://groupthink.kinja.com/a-country-of-men-not-laws-a-case-study-in-reality-tv-1839089727)

It looks like you might have Simms and Wilson mixed up in a sentence in the first paragraph there (i.e., you’ve written that Simms pulled on Wilson’s tampon rather than the other way around). 

re the UK thing, yeah. I’ve only just clocked this and it’s WELL weird. I have a theory that it’s because #feminism as media chatter here is driven by the older second-wavers rather than the younger generation. For example, the governing party in Scotland (which is led by a relatively young female politician) was…

:/ good point
