OMG, I made the mistake of looking at the comments on Deadspin to the article about a college track star who was arrested for murdering a 13 girl (a liver transplant survivor, no less). Half of them are either cracking jokes or claiming that the 13 year old probably lied about her age or that it’s perfectly reasonable…

Jian Ghomeshi himself (pretty sure) actually showed up in one of the first articles about the allegations. It was amazing.

“Wahhhhhh, men can’t even have aggresive sex anymore, just another example of the pussification of society, wahhhhh”

yep, and remember - don’t reply to trolls in the grey!

I completely agree with the argument of this Gawker article. Also, the picture you chose illustrates the reason it is germane to Deadspin. He’s a standout athlete. If the story were simply “Virginia Tech Freshman Arrested On Charges He Abducted & Murdered 13-Year-Old” and he were not an athlete, it wouldn’t make the…

Deadspin is a sports website. Makes sense for them to feature the sports tie-in.

Without speculating to deeply, this kid is from Columbia, MD, a well-to-do suburb of Baltimore and DC. Affluenza season may soon be upon us.

And for most of existence, women haven’t had the privilege of not showing up. No matter how sick or busy, they couldn’t stop mothering. Women have been working around the clock, rain or snow or plague or shine, for millenia.

Honestly, I think it’s because as a female you are worried you’ll be judged if you don’t show up. Dudes just take for granted that they can stay home when they are sick, their kid is sick, or it’s dangerous to travel.

I will never understand how people seem to think that someone saying "Black lives matter" somehow means "everyone else's life doesn’t" like what kind of mental gymnastics does someone go through to need to shout ALL LIVES MATTER in response?

Am I old? Who are these people?

After a while it gets boring bringing your trucks to the same spot at the far end of the Walmart parking lot and you start thinking “guys, what if maybe there’s more to life”

Listen, the very notion that they’re genuinely “doing” anything is flattering to them. If they were serious about some sort of insurrection against government, they could—would—have picked virtually any other building in North America to start it. They don’t want a fight. They want to get interviewed on Fox News.

Well, if you’re pregnant in Texas, I would imagine they would do anything for your child. Until it is born.

Don Lemon continues to be the fucking worst.

Um, maybe you’re the thirsty one David Spade. Nobody gives any sort of fuck what you think about basically anything.

If a hipster fakes their artisanal product and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

from this huffpost (ugh I know) article about 3 UN workers coming to america to assess gender inequality:

@Katxyz: I know, right? He tried to coerce you into unwanted sex because he thought you were pretty. Learn to take a compliment! Gah!
