Yeah, you don’t offer bail or an ankle braclet to a violent domestic abuser who was caught armed after kidnapping and torturing his wife...especially when they lives six miles from one another (says so in source). This judge fucked up royally and it cost this woman her life.

I understand the whole Domestic Violence situation from previous with Rhianna and the subsequent behavior thereafter.

Except a)nobody’s actually been conscripted in 40 years, so it’s pretty much a a moot point and b)men get raped in the military a whole fucking lot.

Yep, that’s why no man ever has been raped, no drugs have ever been used to limit people’s ability to fight back, and rape is solely a thing that occurs in a dark alley when a tiny defenseless woman is attacked by a big strong man!

Yep, context matters. I am not about to throw out the good in the quest for the perfect.

Patton Oswalt’s latest comedy special had a bit about language, and Patton feeling too old to keep up with all of the changing vocabulary, and how liberals need to be careful not to ostracize people who say the right things but aren’t using all of the “right” words, and not be blinded by people saying hateful things…

I just want to rest my head on her large bosom and have a good cry while she rubs my hair.

Yeah I feel the same. Also I hate to pull the “they’re older!” Card. I hate when people use age as an excuse but with these ladies I really don't mind, because they are older and they are active and very positive with the community which is really a great thing in my book.

Given the above-listed appearances and interviews she’s given to outlets that cover roughly the same demographic that Jezebel does, what advantage would doing an interview here offer her? I know you guys would love the attention, but there are more disadvantages to advantages in appearing here.

But still: Secretary Clinton and Jezebel felt like a match made in media expediency heaven.

I feel like the active and notoriously unforgiving commentariat is definitely a factor in not giving an interview to Jezebel. I know I would advise a client to not interview with Jezebel unless they were prepared for a full autopsy in the gallery of the comments. Sometimes this picking apart is entirely fair.…

I think that names are also susceptible to shifts in pronunciation in diaspora, albeit to a lesser extent than other parts of language. If that’s the pronunciation that she has always heard from her own family, I don’t think the German pronunciation is any longer more “correct” for that branch of the family. People…

Ellie, which item on the aging pyramid worries you the most? I’ve lost sleep over my skin’s lack of receptivity.

This is one of the big reasons that inequality has grown so much. American workers are (though a mix of technology and “culture”) more and more productive each year, earning companies more and more money, but their pay rate has not increased to match these improvements in productivity, so the money moves to the top.…

It’s amazing when you really think about. 1/15 may be a manageable hit or not even noticeable to someone at the top, but that could mean the difference between maintaining their quality of life and complete financial ruin to those at the bottom.

My company (a private university actually) recently went through a “prioritization” process because we were bleeding money every year. The whole thing was touted as being very transparent, and all suggestions for cuts were going to be made by teams of staff and faculty. We spend a year and a lot of damn money on this…

She just gave a million dollars to a cause that currently no one gives a shit about.

She may have done that four hundred times, and you wouldn’t know. You can’t assume all her charitable work is publicity-seeking because you don’t know about it.

multiple times she’s given and not said anything, and the org released the info. she does a lot for hospitals and visits kids who are sick there.

Agreed. On the whole, I don’t care for her, but I like that she gives. And I don’t care how self-serving it is to publicize it, because it makes people who see that publicity think about giving themselves.
