Sorry to break it to Argentina, but you're dealing with the goddamn Middle Kingdom. You're nothing but a blip to them, and you're going to have to take it or leave it. We increasingly live in a world where China is going to be the preeminent power, and, frankly, the West ought to get used to it.

"Argentina is relying on loans from China to bolster a currency that slumped 23 percent against the dollar last year amid the country's second default in 13 years."

She is actually mocking Japan as Mandarin distinguishes between r and l. Ignorant and racist, two great tastes that taste great together.

It's the verbal equivalent of this.

all of it. it's all of it.

"Hey Bras, guess who's paying child support in 9 months and spreads STDs!? Yup! It's this Bra!"

(And Bell Hooks, rather than bell hooks.)

it's also insane that they declined to comment

"I grew up in a left wing town and there are plenty of people with great politics who are assholes."

"he described his infatuation with power dynamics as a fetish"

The college's assistant dean of sexual assault declined to comment

I'm not surprised to be reminded that there are rapists and abusers in every community. I am, however, thoroughly depressed about it.

I miss starting out the day with the lightness of the Dirt Bag. This is some heavy shit.

Ugh. I grew up in a left wing town and there are plenty of people with great politics who are assholes. This guy sounds so familiar, a charismatic insider who uses a position of actual or moral authority to manipulate and harm others. I think this is an issue of how when people organize in groups, even loose…

Oy, this is terrifying and depressing, and the phenomenon of 'macktivists' seems to be getting more and more prevalent as feminism has been getting more mainstream attention. I recently got an Okcupid message from a guy who went on about being a feminist, then made a rape joke in his questions. When I pointed this out…

My grandpa used to say "Verlass dich auf jemanden, und du bist verlassen." which is a german saying and sort of means "Trust someone completly and you'll be lost".
