We’ve sent people to prison for far less than this. Cops even charge people with possession of cannabis crumbs that they (allegedly) find on the floor. Since when do you think that only felonies result in prison time?? That’s not the country we live in.

This reminds me of Marjorie Taylor-Greene showing porn on a posterboard in Congress. She probably ordered her aides to watch videos, take screen captures, crop photos, design a mockup/collage, coordinate with the local print shop, buy the cardboard, etc. — all of which would constitute sexual harassment at any normal…

Depends on your lifestyle. My job sends me out to very remote places where there’s no internet service, so I can’t rely on streaming. I have to have all of my files with me when I begin my day. And also, hiking in the middle of nowhere is risky, so I don’t want to use up the battery to my emergency device, i.e., my…

“When I woke up this morning, I had no intentions of doing this.”

Meh. I wish Halloween costumes weren’t so commercial anyway. What happened to the spookiness? Vampires, monsters, ghouls, etc., make for a better atmosphere. But at the last Halloween party I attended, there were multiple straight couples dressed up as the couple from the movie Juno. My god, let that one go already!

“The Boogeyman” is worth it just for Chris Messina’s gradually graying beard. That man is such a stud!

One of the pro-Israel comments from earlier today had 36 “likes” within the first few minutes of it being posted, when there was only one other comment here. But now the comment is gone. Something weird is happening here. It really looks like the pro-Israel comments (spam?) are being coordinated outside this website.

(Side note: The Republican state legislator who sponsored the anti-gay bill/law has just been convicted of various crimes related to stealing money from the government.)

The writer isn’t a journalist and this is isn’t a newspaper. If you have trouble understanding those things, it’s not the fault of journalists or newspapers.

A former friend of mine from college works as an engineer at Apple, and it’s his job to fly to China to teach the factory workers certain standards that will be expected. He takes multiple work trips a year, and he always comes back with stories about the sweatshops. The company is fully aware. The people making…

Normal people are able to have Jewish-American friends (or even *be* Jewish-American!) while simultaneously denouncing a foreign army.

You need to read more than blogs. Check out the Washington Post and the New York Times for high-resolution GIS maps of Gaza. The military targets are encircled.

These people do not have any DNA data. Too many readers are confused either about the leaks, or biology, or both.

That may be true, but do you understand that no DNA information was taken in either of the events in this story? A lot of the news coverage explains so little that I think readers are walking away with inaccurate perceptions of what just happened. The hackers have exactly zero DNA info.

I’ve heard a lot of his music, but apparently I’ve never seen a photo of him because... until I read your comment, I assumed that was one of the women accusing him. Oops!

Few of the jobs I’ve ever had would allow me to just walk away from my desk to go talk to myself in an empty hallway. It’s not real. It’s just avoiding work. Imagine if our “essential workers” decided to leave their work stations like this. Republicans would demand that they be fired. But if you’re a Christian…

Correction: “left to go talk to himself.” That’s all it is. Muttering under your breath accomplishes nothing. It’s less than worthless because it means actively avoiding his job duties.

Today’s New York Times has an article that uses the phrase: “Israel is trying to protect fleeing Palestinians.” History is being rewritten in real time.

...and where did you complete your degrees, genius?

That may not be how wills “work,” but your comment doesn’t disprove the claim. People can put all sorts of language in a will (including whole speeches and rants) without necessarily having every word meet a legal standard. It’s the person’s last chance to state their hopes. Even if his words couldn’t be the basis of…
