I’m no lawyer, but is there not a difference talking to reporters with the expectation of anonymity, and going to full-ass court and putting your business on front street? I mean, I know there are constant ongoing assaults (from those constitution loving protectors of the free press, our politicians) against the press…

“As you may know, yesterday a parent, who is also an alumna and a former trustee, sent a letter to the Board of Trustees to voice her strong objection“

That’s my sort of thing. Tapping into a sort of creative waking dream until it’s actual sleeping. I thought that would be pretty much common sense really.

Mental health is a serious issue, down the board. The fact is that we are largely not equipped to take proper care of ourselves or each other, and there needs to be a radical restructuring of our priorities to deal with that. The way we live is literally driving people crazy, whether we have a prexisting chemical…

Maybe a better way to discuss this is to point out that our bullshit-focused culture outright rejects nuance and forces all of us to take single paragraph stances on complicated issues.

The logic is unimpeachable.  Co-signed.

No matter how rich, or popular, privileged white dudes stay minding other people’s business. Like, why was any of that even his concern? Where are his friends and family? Can they come get their boy and make him feel loved somehow?

I... maybe I’m misreading: Does the writer think Jeremy Renner played Jason Bourne?  

Checked out the main page and it sounds like fun.  Thanks for the suggestion.

This story reminds me that I need to get back to Oxygen Not Included.

If I was her I wouldn’t have apologized for shit. It would be like apologizing for wearing an ugly shirt my mother bought me in middle school. I regret it, but I didn’t have much choice, and I didn’t have the sense to know better anyway.

It’s just so basically wrong on so many levels, there’s just nothing to grab onto.

This is the kind of article that reminds me why I laugh when conservatives try that “Oh, so progressives wish awful things on people who don’t agree with them? Real moral high horse there.” garbage.

Motherfucker... You are my enemy. What hurts you most is that I see you now. Me wishing you would go away by whatever…

They are going to need full time security at his gravesite, with all staff wearing hazmat suits. 

Late reply, but hesitantly cosigned. Simple criteria for me is if it was an occassional high school moment of insensitivity, which is not unheard of and can occur to anyone given the right situation, or a pattern of abuse, which is not common. I don’t know where some of the commenters went to school, but picking on…

To be a Republican is to lack the bare-minimum imagination and empathy required to see people outside of your in-group as human. Their incredible lack of empathy is their greatest power.

I’ve met staunch Republicans who are willing to bend over backward to support members of their family; through addiction, through…

The short child actors thing is so common you have to assume there’s a reason for it. Most likely they cast kids that look younger than they actually are, and thus they are probably going to be short their whole lives. Or maybe they cast little kids with large noggins, and all that head weight limits growth? I don’t…

Maybe it’s cause I spent years working around old white people in a red state, but I thought these things were old news.

Dear lord, yes. That shouldn’t go unnoted. You earned both of you stars.
