See, what I think is inexcusable is the police arresting a guy for a non-violent offense, shackling his hands and feet, driving him recklessly around town, unrestrained, until his spinal cord is partially severed and then leaving him there to die.

I’ve read this like three times now and it makes me laugh every time. +1

I don’t really see why it’s not self-evident. The vast majority of sports journalism today is white men writing about black athletes. How can you not think, how would the stories be different if they were written by writers of color?

Well, I guess I know—white men think their perspective should be the default. But…

For every douche here who is complaining that this is pointless, who cares, and so on: This site really needs to happen, and it will fail because Whitlock is an bloviating egomaniac who can’t see the big picture. And when it does, there won’t be another chance for a good long time, and so it matters that Whitlock is…

Zara is just Spanish for Sarah, and Sarah means “princess”.

They’re contractions that come at irregular intervals. They hurt like real contractions, though!

Zara is 15th in the line of succession.

I am okay if there’s no redemption for knocking your wife unconscious.

When they’ve shown genuine remorse and made (and succeeded at) a sincere effort to change. That takes more than a few months; it takes years. Get back to me on Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, Mayweather, etc in 10 years. Maybe then we’ll talk.

You’re a dumbass. 1) Innocent until proven guilty is a TRIAL rule, not a rule of general applicability. 2) He was never tried. The prosecutor declined to go forward, so no prosecution means no trial. A family court judge considered the evidence and decided there was sufficient reason to issue a restraining order.

I have a genetic blood clotting disorder and I just had my third clot in my left leg. I have to wear a compression stocking for that leg. IT IS HORRIBLE. It is hot and scratchy and goes from my toes to my thigh and I have to wear wide legged pants or it makes my pant leg all bunchy. I have had a bunch of surgery on my…

“nice” is arbitrary. we think smooth is nice because spanx wants us to buy their things.

What is there to be skeptical about?

Don’t go. If someone asks why, say it’s because they’re bigots.

That’s entirely subjective. What I’m saying is that the beauty standard is arbitrary and harmful to women, so wear what you like and fuck the rules. When you start going on about oh, I don’t wear those because everyone knows that women with big butts can’t wear <style>, because it’s not flattering, fuck that. You…

His was 27. Mariota’s was 33.

Why do kids find dinosaurs endlessly fascinating? My kid does too, and that’s cool because self-directed learning and science and reading and all, but I don’t get why dinosaurs are more interesting than most everything else.

Also I need to stop saying “kind of”. Bleah.

I think “outrage” is the wrong word. It is more like, oh, right, this movie that I was looking forward to seeing is set in a universe with very few women and they’re largely defined by how they relate to men. “Deflated” is more how I feel.

And Stark’s Prima Nocta joke in the trailer is kind of gross too. I am now kind…

fuck “flattering”. “flattering” means “makes me appear closer to the beauty ideal,” and fuck the ideal.
