Yeah I’d kind of rather know where people stand so that when they come out with their fuckery we can debate it and denounce it and have a dialog about it. It beats pretending like we don’t live in a racist society.

Now imagine a quarterback from a team you don’t root for and didn’t go to a school that isn’t within a few hours’ driving distance is in this exact same situation.

“Five People You Meet in Florida”?

I expect we’ll hear an apology from him tomorrow. It’ll be Tuesdays with sorry.

I don’t mind Bernie. He sounds like my Queens-born father and looks like a Philosophy professor I had in undergrad. His problem is his ideas and proposals, while great, have zero chance of working with the Congress. Congress, which is a bag of dicks, would eat him for lunch. Clinton knows how to work the system in her…

Wait- what?

I’ve been asking myself the same question. If she’s trapped in a human body, she is limited by that body and thus should only have human vision and hearing.

I get it, Hillary’s politics are so moderate that she is basically a 1970s Republican. Economically I am much more in line with Bernie. But I am also a woman who likes reproductive rights, and our next president will have a lot of power over the future of our Supreme Court. Which means our next president will have a…

No, they want women to vote, you just need to listen harder when they are telling you who to vote for.

That is adorable.

That’s pretty much the stance that my kids take on hotel stays, except add “watch cable TV” to the list of awesome activities for them to enjoy.

I’d be more interested in how she reconciles her claim to have cat night vision, with the obvious truth that she doesn’t have cat night vision.

OK, a bit off-topic, BUT:

Kristin Stewart then went on to say, It’s like the situation in Syria. Just fix it, okay? Just do something and make it stop. And then it will. It’s so boring. Why is everything so boring. I don't care! Just like fix everything so I can go back to not caring about making any facial expressions in my movies.

One of the more shocking realizations in my life is that I am probably as uncomfortable using a non-gender-specific restroom as my great-grandparents were at using a non-race-specific restroom. (Note: I am not saying that race and sexuality are the same or that their civil rights movements are completely parallel).

All those examples are perfectly normal usage of the words. But in taken together, they indicate that Oxford is not concerned in any way with presenting language in a way that isn’t sexist and containing negative stereotypes toward half its users. There’s no such thing as perfect neutrality, but/and the choices they…

Also, those words are not solely or even most commonly defined that way. A telephone is shrill. An alarm clock. Intentionally choosing gendered shit to express a non-gendered adjective is irresponsible. Let people learn their bias from their shitty parents, as is tradition.

No.

Not really but Jezebel and Gawker are going to do their damnedest to make us think so, lol.

I’ve found that a lot of liberals [myself one!] believe that Sanders necessarily holds the same beliefs they do, whether or not he’s actually indicated those beliefs in his policies or policy statements. For instance, I have a friend who earnestly wrote on FB, “We need to make change! Come campaign for Bernie—a…
