As a PR person and government in politics, I’ve gotten that version of the NYT response in many different forms. “You can’t expect us to include every single detail because some issues are so broad. We have space restrictions, you know.” Okay sure but all the flattering details you DO include somehow benefit white men

Thank you, this is beautiful.

I have similar (but not identical) thoughts, and it’s so much sometimes. The electricity of us is bound in our brains, and brains are fallible. Bodies are fallible. The best case scenario for life is aging and death. As far as we know, humans are the only beings in the entire universe who

It was inspiring to watch him seeking joy and adventure in the world, a buffer from the darkness that only grows through experiences and connections with people. Depression makes it so much harder to feel those things, and I’m just heartbroken that he was that sad.

First day here?

“I am not profiling you because of your race but simply the fact that you are speaking the language associated with that race. Wait, shit that came out wrong. I’m not profiling you because you look Mexican, only because you speak Mexican. God dammit, I’m so bad at this...”

LOOK DIPSHIT, THE WOMAN WAS SPEAKING NOT-ENGLISH! NOT EVERYONE WENT TO SOME FANCY LIBERAL COLLEGE WHERE THEY TEACH YOU TO TELL THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SOMEONE SPEAKING MEXICAN AND SOMEONE SPEAKING CANADIAN. FOR ALL HE KNEW, SHE SNUCK OVER FROM MONTREAL. HE’S A REAL WORKING MAN, NOT AN IVORY TOWER LIBERAL THAT CAN TELL

Imagine if they had been speaking French.

There’s no pictures of it since it wasn’t a visually exciting project, but I grabbed a DC wall-wart power supply from a local thrift for 50c + tax, and successfully amputated the plug that didn’t fit my devices and soldered on one that did. Now my mini-oscilloscope and capacitance meter can run off wall power instead

Relationships do take work, doubts are normal, and bad stuff often does make you stronger AND.YOU.SHOULD.STILL.TRUST.YOUR.GUT.

My local school board has student board members, and I routinely see them showing more leadership, and certainly more courage, than our elected officials.

Good. I wish EVERYONE who claims to be feminist or progressive would sever ties. I’ll never forget the Jia Tolentino piece on Jezebel which in my very humble opinion did not go far enough at all, and the scores of commenters who were willing to give Lena pass after motherfucking pass despite example after

So many men can look you straight in the eye and say they didnt do/say/act something they blatantly did. Women probably can do the same but men really seem to lie with a level of commitment where I think they’ve actually completely compartmentalised what they did. Like they actually don’t remember what they did until

A woman who we know had trained spies stalking her in an effort to discredit and silence her is arrested for cocaine “residue” in baggage they believe to be hers, left behind on a plane.

That really fucking sucks. And I had no idea there was only ONE denim factory in the U.S. left!

Agreed. Give everyone a hundred bucks and go home.

I believe that the same article (or another similar one) spoke of (to me) a far more worrying development. Men following the “Mike Pence rule”: Never be alone with a woman; and do not attend gatherings with women where alcohol is served — either without one’s spouse (or at all).

Here’s the simple fact: The Washington Post did journalism the right way, and Jezebel did not.

My SIL sells this garbage. My wife and I refer to it as “clothes for the suburban mom who has given up.”

This should be on his IMDB page.
