These bad faith, dismissive arguments against Reade and the metoo movement just need to save us all the trouble and state outright that they’d still vote for Biden even if he did do it. Because really, that’s what they’re saying. Sexual assault survivors will always see small parts of our story in accusations, and…

Oh man, it’s pretty crazy that you’re violating doctor-patient confidentiality to discuss your patient Tara Reade, especially since you have all this intimate medical knowledge of her mental state!

It even goes down to the chromosomal level. There’s more than just XX and XY, and some people don’t even know that they’re non-XX/XY due to the robustness of the X chromosome and how wonky the Y chromosome is. Tack on expression and penetrance and the “Sex chromosomes as the basis for sex” falls apart at the social…

Exactly, they had a higher up from Obama’s BLS and they basically affirmed what you just said. Paraphrasing, but: Many people that are unemployed don’t think of themselves as it because they have a job to come back to once the pandemic has let up.

Doesn’t even have to be a person reading it. I work in digital marketing so it seems pretty easy, but cataloging all the tweets of a potential hire and then doing a basic search of problematic keywords would be easy, and well within the reach of most network hiring companies.

Verging on whataboutism, particularly because people’s opinions might have changed in 4 years as to immigration. However, there is a need for a reckoning for Obama’s immigration policies. Until Trump, Obama was the most deportingest president. Immigration rights activists did/do not like Obama.

What’s funny is that the whole “Cancel culture is ruining everything” is completely reactionary and born out of conservative circles. Years ago groups became aware that call out/cancel culture was becoming divisive and that it was in effect leading to a kind of purity culture. So we/they stopped it and became about…

It’s okay to misgender transphobes because of their tendency for “civil arguments”, even when their “arguments” demean and dehumanize trans folks. When their weapon is turned upon themselves, see how they react. It’s rarely complacency or the “civil” way they expect trans folks to react, instead they let their whole…

God I hope TERF is a slur, I hope it hurts them when I call them that.

Book 2 is where JK started getting better. Even of YA standards, book 1 was pretty rote and tapped into some of the Dahl aesthetic, which is how it got attention. Book 4 was arguably a great book, but everything afterward was stymied by Jo’s lack of vision. A lot of the great themes are due to the “headcanon” of the…

I think part of the issue is that Midsommar was commissioned.

Movies don’t always have to hit “points” every so often. They’re allowed to meander, that’s the whole point of making a movie versus a serial.

OMG it is!

Donna... you in danger girl!

We never “worry about the rest later”, though. We had 8 years of Obama where nothing substantive happened to Bush II and his enablers.

Every presidential administration after Bush II’s that didn’t end with him in the gallows is a failure. I’ll hold the same presidential administrations after Trump’s to the same standard.

I hear it’s full of shit.

Radical!

Somebody please erect a memorial for the police that were killed by the slaves they tried to return to their rightful owners. They were just trying to enforce the law, silly as it may be...

Police are not legally obligated to protect anyone.  If slavery were more legal today than it currently is, they’d be slavecatchers again in a heartbeat.
