Republicans have been doing this for decades. Rick Santorum — a man who attended three different universities for three different advanced degrees — used to give speeches about how college grads were elitists, and how college isn’t something people should strive toward.

You left out the detail that this guy wasn’t merely a campaign assistant. He actually served in the Iowa legislature — as in, he was writing bills, etc. He had real power.
This isn’t the big success people are pretending it to be. Spotify feeds listeners songs that they haven’t even asked for. That’s one reason I use it so rarely. I’ll begin by entering a song/artist that I enjoy, and within two or three songs it’s pushing content that I absolutely hate. This song must be set in their…
Can the manufacturers sue her? This seems a lot like the lawsuits from the voting machine companies. You can’t just claim that a product is faulty or dangerous unless you have some evidence for it.
I don’t understand the mentality of the donors. We keep seeing statistics like, “a majority of Americans could not afford a $400 emergency without going into debt,” and then those same people are giving money to a billionaire. How many of his fans are unemployed, underemployed, or on disability? How can these grown…
It’s just lies and conspiracy theories. I’ve been to Comet Ping Pong a few times, but I’ll never go back. The YouTubers are still taking video of customers at the front door, and anyone who walks inside is called a pedophile. The owner (a gay man, that part of the conspiracy theory is true) has tried for years to get…
Clarence Thomas said that we should reverse the court decision that legalized condoms. Conservatives like these two are so totally delusional and creepy. If they get their way, we’ll have a surge in STI’s — some of which, ironically, will make it harder or even impossible for women to conceive and carry pregnancies.
Knowing all this, why would anyone use Hinge? There are plenty of apps that have zero shadow-banning or throttling. Some have a default setting to show users by distance (and then you can filter by age, etc., after that). I seriously don’t understand why there’s even one person on Hinge, let alone one million.
Way more than “touch-ups.” Nobody can convince me that “Interstellar” actually sent Anne Hathaway across the universe to an uninhabited planet. Some part of that had to be fake. Why even try to deny the use of computers when your oeuvre is heavy in science-fiction? We all know it’s not true.
Oh, come on. That’s not misogyny. That’s homophobia (internalized). He’s making the point that both are literally men, and that it’s not unmanly to have sex with other men.
The series premiere of “Shrill” shows an abortion. It’s literally the launch of the show. They received both praise and death threats — it was all over the news.
The Washington Post has been following some of these new families. There are new updates every few months. One girl dropped out of high school. Another was accepted to college but decided not to go. Many of the new babies are being raised by their grandparents (because the parents are too poor, or unemployed, or don’t…
Yeah, but “he can’t read” is a very extreme and specific accusation. Is he actually illiterate or was that just a mean exaggeration? Seems like it can’t be totally true, which makes the interview weird and unnecessarily cruel.
This isn’t alcoholism. Even drunks don’t suddenly start using derogatory slurs unless those words are a regular part of their vocabulary. This is like Roseanne Barr claiming that ambien makes her racist. That’s a lie. If this really is her fifth time committing this crime, then her prison sentence should reflect that.…
...but a plug for “Pete’s Dragon”! That was a total rewrite, and a beautiful film. They have the potential to do good ones when they aren’t trying to recreate scene-for-scene (like Lion King, etc.)

This is such a weirdly exaggerated rant. Of course black people can be racist — there are racists in every country in the world, too. As for the Latino label, you obviously don’t spend time with Spanish-speakers. When I studied abroad in Spain in the 1990s, the native-language Spaniards were consistently using the…
Wait, do you actually think that parents today are reading the 1812 version to their young children, and doing so fondly?
Your explanation doesn’t justify removing someone’s records of wins after the matches have been completed. “Women like to sit across from other women,” isn’t an explanation. There’s no reason for a woman to be suddenly scared potentially a year after losing a match, when the winning opponent is living 5,000 miles away…
Hitler, seriously?? You don’t have to rely on religion to say that genocide and murder are wrong. A school could also rightly say that it’s not safe to have self-professed Nazis around young Jewish children. No scripture is necessary. You went for a bizarre, extreme example, and it just doesn’t fit here.
