I just heard a story on him on NPR (With a recentish sound clip), and I know that he was on CNN yesterday

They would have found a way to diminish her no matter the circumstances
Huh, I truly expected these white supremacists to all be doctors, or engineers, or somehow exceptional in their fields. Otherwise, what is their claim to supremacy? Kudos to those who do what’s needful, like working at a hot dog stand- but perhaps they could exercise some humility instead of claiming to be part of a…
Lede: Member of the “master race” is, like, 30, works at fucking hot dog restaurant.
Okay so what about the business owners? They fired the guy like everyone wanted. They didn’t want the bad press. But they are still dealing with negative reviews and low ratings because of this ONE guy. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t.
Hey, do you think maybe Jez could do an article on what the ACLU is and how it works? This weekend I’ve seen a lot of people on the internet in general who don’t seem to know. Not just people who dislike the ACLU, which is absolutely fine and their own business, but people who seem to have misunderstood what it does.
I am almost (ALMOST) dumbstruck to silence by the vitriole for a violently murdered woman they DON’T EVEN KNOW!!!
I wouldn’t use the term “doxxing”. “Doxxing” reveals personal information in order to make victims feel endangered and vulnerable. Revealing names of people who assembled in public is just a matter of holding them accountable. If we were sharing their home addresses and telling them we will rape and kill them, then…
How is a person who has no children but pays their taxes (I assume she did) a drain on society? For example, the taxes I pay support schools, despite me not having any children to attend those school.
Your right to privacy (this isn’t a free speech issue, numbnuts) ends when you parade your idiocy in public.
Did she ever apologize for that tweet or just delete it? What an unbelievably awful thing to say.
Especially since let’s face it, her stunt calling for jihad against Trump could only backfire. Like the rightwing outlets were going to politrly publish retractions and note how she used the word—fuck that! They have a prominent leftist Muslim activist calling for “jihad” against the Prez of the USA! Run that…
The tweet in question. Whatever you feel about Ayaan, her anger and her activism comes from a place of genuine suffering. And given the fact that she DID suffer from FGM, saying “she doesn’t deserve to be a woman” is gross and indefensible. Because it’s something that someone almost literally tried to inflict upon…
quite frankly it doesn’t seem like many men find rachel to be that good looking.
Yes, I do. And I am not citing the First Amendment violation in a private employer firing someone. Rather, I’m using the First Amendment to demonstrate how open and reasoned debate is fundamental to the fabric of our nation.
I apologize that I must disagree with you on the position of shutting down ideas. I personally find the ideas you posit morally reprehensible and repugnant (and cannot stress that point enough), and would likely not engage in a reasonable debate with anyone espousing them because I don’t have the patience to deal with…
There is no room for reasoned debate with unreasonable positions.
Regardless of whether his views were “right” or “wrong” (especially since “right” and “wrong” are so often subjective), all Google did accomplish by firing him is prove they are guilty of that which he accused them of: Being/fostering an “echo chamber” on this issue.
Lets hope not, if a university as prestigious as Harvard would expel a student for having a view that they don’t agree with (or makes them look bad) then the conservatives are right. Even Google was very clear that the reason for the termination was for creating an unsafe workspace, I don’t see how Harvard could make…
I like Chris Pratt. I can see why people don’t like him, but to me he does seem like a genuinely nice guy. My read on him these days is that his superstardom either doesn’t sit well on him (more money, more problems) and/or its changed his persona. Now there could be infidelity or whatever, but it could just be that…
