This view of bystander intervention may be outdated. A new study looked at over 200 incidents captured on CCTV cameras in Amsterdam, Cape Town and Lancaster to determine how often people stepped up to defuse a devolving conflict. The average number of bystanders was 16 and in nine out of 10 incidents at least one…

Eh the death penalty is barbaric, even for monsters such as this. I hope he dies after many years in a depressing solitary prison cell with only his thoughts. If anything, him killing himself is too quick of an out.

Yeah, this dude should currently be protected like the crown jewels, dude has some serious dirt on powerful people that needs to get out.

I too hope he dies, but not before his trial. Need to get all involved the fuck out of here.

True! I only have one thing from Ikea and it’s actually a really decent bed frame which doesn’t look ikea-y and  i got as a trade for an upright piano i had bought for 50€  A good portion of my furniture was found on the street (theres loads of good solid stuff on the streets of Brussels.) hooray! (I’m 38)

Or, better yet, “descendants.” ;)

The heartbreaking part is that you, or any other woman, shouldn’t have to.

Thank you! I was thinking aren’t most millennials in their 30s and have kids? It’s like everyone just uses that term for anyone that’s not a boomer (because Gen X is completely invisible and no one exists between the ages of 20 and 65. And I agree, if you’re still living with broken, crap leftover furniture at that…

I suspect Peck’s real problem with Mayor Pete is that for so long Peck has defined his own self image in opposition to what he perceives as “mainstream.” His most outwardly apparent, obvious claim to existing outside of the mainstream is his status as a sexual minority.

All of this.

Is it possible that it’s maybe not outright homophobia, but still pretty shitty to criticize someone for not being gay the way you want them to be (politician or not)?

Laidlaw told the Daily Beast that the school had “discontinued contact” with Epstein in 2007, and that the school has no complaints of his behavior on record, adding that Interlochen’s “policies would not have permitted Mr. Epstein any unsupervised access to students.”

well, that and money laundering/fraud - there’s a reason the same division of Deutsche Bank that kept throwing hundreds of millions in loans at default king Trump also had significant business w/ Epstein.  Of course, DB corrected this and closed all of their Epstein accounts all the way back in *checks notes* May 2019.

I am honestly seeing red about this “paying other people to rear your child”...as though the 8 hours a day my kid is at daycare erases the effort of conceiving her (lesbians, so it was a little more involved than getting amorous), carrying her infuckingside me for 9 months, being in labor for two days, having an…

You do know lesbians can also be moms, right?

Yeah, she didn’t try to trademark a Chinese word to name a skin cream, she was dressed in another culture’s fashion by people from that culture to appeal to a market in their country.

Yes - and given that Trump is still popular there, she’s not going to win by running against him. Per 538, Trump won Kentucky by 30 points in 2016, and still has net +15 approval rating in the state. If anything, the “I support these things that you like about Donald Trump and McConnell doesn’t” is probably the only…

Anyone who can take the Senate floor away from that evil turtle is good enough for me.  I don’t care if she’s Manchin’s long lost twin and won’t hang with the democrats on key votes. For now, just unseat that asshole. 

...but McGrath is a self-described moderate who believes the Democrats currently running for president are veering too far to the left. She doesn’t support eliminating private insurance under a Medicare-for-all plan, nor does she support subsidizing healthcare for undocumented immigrants. She also describes herself as…

He rapes girl children.
