I (a woman) actually went to Northeastern for computer science, graduated in 1998. There were some women there and they were ass kickers, and that was 20 years ago. So this is all more of the same shit where you’re not part of the story, as if the world didn’t have enough success stories about awkward mostly-white…

Showing only male hackers implies that they couldn’t find any young, up-and-coming female hackers to include in the article. Not even one!

I could see a very dear-to-my heart male friend doing this. He sometimes genuinely laughs at things that are horrible (and that don’t intersect with his life in anyway), or makes jokes, and when I call him on it, he calls it gallows humour.

Seriously. Everyone’s all gun-ho about killing sharks and not addressing the real threat.

How is pranking these assholes hurting victims?

People don’t have to pay millions of dollars to become more “spiritual” in Islam or Christianity.

Ooh, boy oh boy, now THAT is some super-secret negotiating wisdom, there! “Always start high”? Stop the presses, man! Did he learn this masterful technique from haggling with a 10-year-old girl at a flea market?

Among his sins against the American people is how O’Reilly weaponized the ignorance of some in his audience. He help found the current cadre of far-right thought leaders and helped push their ideas to the mainstream.

Dehydration is an awful way to die, too. He was essentially tortured to death. I don’t care if we’re talking about Ted Bundy. That shit should not be happening in America.

How long can you live without water? A person can survive only three to five days without water, in some cases people have survived for an average of one week.

I don’t a flying fuck what the man did that landed him in jail--for the purposes of my current outrage I don’t care about whether he should have been there in the first place--no one should die of thirst in this country, MUCH LESS while in the custody of a law enforcement agency. Full. Fucking. Stop.

Fucking horrific. I don’t care what he did. No one should be tortured to death by dehydration. On top of that, he should have been getting treatment for his obvious mental illness. Anyone who doesn’t find this man’s death egregious, criminal, and horrific is a monster. That fucking Uncle Tom Trump-fellating sheriff…

The reason no one mentions the dead man’s crimes is that they are irrelevant to the way he was treated while in custody. 

OMG we’re being ruled by the Thenardiers.

Just a little Christine Lagarde fashion appreciation post:

I’m certain she thinks “Empowerment” means Donald lets her ride on top.

Ivanka was so embarrassed, she spent the remainder of her time in Germany using her alias: Adrienne Vittadini.

What do we think Christine Lagarde is thinking there? My guess is something along the lines of, “I am the head of the IMF. I was the head of an international law firm. I’m even a known fashion icon. Who is this little person sitting next to me? Why is she speaking? What has happened? Is this my life?”

I love Merkel for trying to force Ivanka to address the booing in the audience.
