“The Sacramento City Unified School Board was horrified to learn that a teacher at a school in our district used racist language in the classroom,” the school board said in a statement. “Our Board condemns racism and the use of racist language in the strongest terms. Racism, racist behaviors, and racist language are…

To Masshole or not to Masshole, that’s not the question, of course you should Masshole, what the fuck is wrong with you?

And the expectations for boys and men are just so low. Or maybe it’s even perceived as threatening to have to inhabit the mental space of a girl or woman.

You see similar things with female central characters. Girls and women are willing to read about and take the perspectives of male central characters, but boys and men seem incredibly reluctant to do the same for female central characters. It’s depressing.

“And that I frequently drive topless. Maine is in fact a topless state.”

Watching the Boston Renegades crush the Tampa Bay Inferno. Between the Renegades and the Pride, Boston’s back.

Yeah, I’m sure accessibility is an issue for some folks, but you have to figure most people who aren’t getting it have chosen not to.

If you had a couple of justices being replaced every presidential term, I don’t you could call that subject to political whims. The problem is that a lifetime appointment lasts an absurd amount of time, and the composition of the court is now being left to fluke events. In many ways it’s even more political now,…

You really have to wonder how these people can even act like they’re the “good guys” anymore.

People who pretend to love the country by refusing to engage with its actual history are just sad.

That’s probably true, I think it’s really hard to put together a successful boycott, especially for an international event. On the other hand, you could also see this as just one more image problem for the Olympics (e.g., ruining the budgets of host cities, forcible displacement of minority groups in host cities,…

I think it’s fairly indirect, but I think the IOC gets a lot of money from selling broadcast and sponsorship rights. Obviously those transactions have already happened for these Olympics, but if potential sponsors start to worry that having their names associated with the games may not be a good thing, I can see how…

He is both the titular protagonist’s dad and all of our dad ... and sports forearms that look like two hormone-plumped turkey legs plucked from a cart at Disney World.

Real himboness isn’t a state, it’s a process. The real himboness is the friends you make along the way.

“What is truth?” - Pontius Pilate and the modern day GOP. Conservative cancel culture strikes again.

Any “apology” which fails to acknowledge that Cosby is a confessed rapist who got off on a technicality is bullshit.

Sadly that may be a thig of the past: https://bangordailynews.com/2021/06/08/politics/bill-to-rein-in-vulgar-vanity-plates-easily-passes-the-maine-senate/
