I’ve always loved this video. The smug look he gives Michelle is everything.
I didn't know that Abigail Fisher had changed her name.
According to her lawyers, Rosner felt that another instructor could assume responsibilities over the Spanish-teaching portion of the class, while she would focus on reading and writing.
I’m pregnant right now, and I’m furiously trying to ban Disney and offensive Looney Tunes characters from my household. My mom, of course, tells me to lighten up, and I need to cut my MIL some slack on her unintentional gendered and racist crap.
The US government was inspired by the Iroquois Confederacy. That is an American Indian government that was able to unite six tribes. Suck on that, Steve King.
“This change is completely meaningless, BUT I ANGRILY OPPOSE IT!!!”

“...misuse of alcohol that was a well-established contributor in this case.”
For what it’s worth, Arndt and Jonsson are Swedish. While the US is the worlds most individualistic country, Sweden doesn’t lag far behind, often ranking in the top five most individualistic countries. Being Swedish myself, I would say that we are perhaps more inclined to step in when a crime occurs not because of…
In the dark. As they rode by. They see the activity behind the dumpster. Something seems wrong about it to them. They turn back to investigate. They intervene. They call for help.

i think the judge is pond scum, don’t get me wrong, but he is also not a convicted rapist. i mean, let’s not let things get away from us here.
Dude just stop. Only a whiny little boy can’t face the cold hard truth of our gender- we have a large, long, and statistically verified history of violence against women we’re attracted to. Women don’t. It’s us. Our problem. Sitting here thinking the stupid things you do is cowardly. A grown adult acknowledges the…
This is why I just sick with ‘a bag of dicks’.
“There I was, enjoying a light repast at the Applebuddies club, engaging in a fine and stimulating discussion of Amanda McKittrick Ros’s brilliant use of simile and metaphor, when suddenly what should assault my ears but some jenny foreigner defiling the rarefied air of our great nation with her native tongue!
