Yeah, the school’s decision to cut her off signals more than just “propriety” to me.

Which, if it’s true, is also inexcusable. There are a handful of folks in every comment section on articles mentioning sexual assault that bring this up. This needs to be fixed by the editorial staff.

The school’s statement that “local law enforcement has initial jurisdiction and determines the course of action” is such bs. The school has almost complete jurisdiction over whatever policies it implements regarding the safety of its students. So if a crime occurs and the police do nothing, or if there is a related…

OH MY GOD FUCKING STOP IT WITH THE “ALLEGED,” JEZEBEL. How the fuck is fucking Deadspin ahead of you guys on this? Knock this shit off. It’s inexcusable.

“Even learning on a campus on which some people defend perpetrators of sexual assault and silence their victims,”

Ocean’s 8 made $41 million in three days. Those are the totals for the opening week. So we don’t know yet what Ocean’s 8 total for the week will be. Almost certainly will be more than Ocean’s 13 and likely 12. We’ll see about Ocean’s 11.

Where is your source from? Because everything I read said Ocean’s 11 took in $38 million on their opening weekend (while your screenshot says $61 mil). If you look at the Guardian link in the story, their numbers also show that Ocean’s 8 made more money.

Speaking from experience, the US military does NOT tolerate racism. If she is currently enlisted (as in the USAF Reserve) she will be in court martial pretty much tomorrow or ASAP. They don’t fool around with that shit. If she is “committed to enlistment”, she’ll be dropped with a mark on her record.
EDIT: I’m not…

I think the line was “I don’t want a him. Hims get noticed, hers get ignored.”

Something like that. It definitely stuck with me as a really good strategic reason for the team being all female, beyond just ‘hey let’s use this awesome cast of badass actresses’.

... By reducing the amount of money spent preventing and repairing potholes. It’s not that big of a mental leap...

“Ten years after Mamma Mia!, nine years after The Blind Side, eight years after Salt, seven years after Bridesmaids, six years after The Hunger Games, five years after Frozen, four years after Fault in Our Stars, three years after The Force Awakens, two years after Hidden Figures and one year after Wonder Woman,…

Devils’ advocate: they put the patch there, so there are within their rights to paint it. IOW patch+paint = one event, not separate events.

Like, not directly. There’s no pothole god who creates potholes in anger everytime a corporation pays less tax.

Kinda poetic actually. Tax breaks for corporations are part of the problem and now some of the resulting issues have landed back in their court again to fix.

Note the accents. Big surprise.

The interwebs say she is also enlisted in the USAF and the twitterati sending messages to USAF to not allow her to start.

I’m thinking this deserves a cross post on The Root. Smells like some racism to me.

It is!

The restaurant blew it twice. First, by not enforcing the dress code to begin with, and second by singling out the guy with the cross. As with most cases of this type, it’s all about whether the standard is being applied consistently.

I really like that man’s penmanship. That’s some fancy handwriting.
