I like this line of thinking. Turning wifi off so devices can’t be detonated or to get a jump on panic are charismatic theories, but I think a practical explanation is that they locked nonessential use out and/or it was swamped. If cellular service wasn’t shut down as well (regardless of how shitty it is), it’s not…

I had a comment on Gawker about the poor professor who had a tantrum and some loon hijacked it into a debate of the entire validity of the protest in general. That it was all constructed by a “fame whore” student president who made up “2 out of 3” of the incidents that set off this “moral panic.”

Yeah, I saw a screencap of the the entire “bully” email this morning and was at turns shocked and confused that a professor would pen something in the midst of the current situation that could be so viciously misconstrued.

I think it was just an amateurishly constructed and poorly edited article (I’m mean, I guess). Ideally Jezebel would not willfully defend a rapist, but this was how I read the first chunk: “This loving mother of two RAPED a disabled man. She says she didn’t rape him. She could be sentenced to the same jail time as a…

IMO, this whole article reeks of someone playing at investigative journalism, and thus succumbing to false balance. We don’t have to hold in our head the notion that this women is not a rapist because she says she’s not a rapist. Just like we shouldn’t actually have to hear “both sides” concerning climate change.

Perfect score. Would read again.

You mean, as a woman in research biology, my job could be garnering me publicity???

So Kim Kardashian’s kostume is very charming!

At first I thought the headline was “Parenthood shouldn’t get one red cent from taxpayers.” And I was like, damn fucking straight, breeders.

Other than racism, the big takeaway here is that people who go to this bar have nasty-ass taste in booze.

Heh. Hoya Suxa.

I do not have the self-esteem necessary to try on ill-fitting old lady garbage in an attempt to find that one great quirky piece.

“We have some people who make significantly more money off of our competitors’ sites than they do working for DraftKings,” he said.

Shucks, thanks :)

Ha, I don’t know if it’s that’s funny, so much as a horrible pun.

Ha, seriously. Would be way more than $1600 per pig then. $1600 for a genome edited, backcrossed healthy mammal seems pretty legit.

TALENs?? What is this, 2011?? I only want pork that’s CRISPR’d ;)

I wonder if blaming the “downstairs” is effective cover for potential minor head issues. I didn’t see the game, so I’m not making a judgement of this player at all. I’m just riffing on the idea.

I’m not looking at the pending replies because I am lazy, so someone might have said this already, but the places most likely to have fervent protestors outside clinics might also be the places where the fewest clinics available for women to visit. The protesters have no choice (ha! sadface).

It’s funny because the people are probs gonna jump down your throat about this, but they’re neglecting the fact that jezebel has an abysmal record effectively reporting Science.
