I hope he doesn’t drop out anytime soon. Now that Trump has somewhat reeled in the crazy and Carson is about to drop out any day, we don’t have a lot of people who will bring the funny anymore.

Just last night I watched the episode of Star Trek where Data experiences his first emotion - anger - at having his life threatened by a Borg. He kills the Borg with his bare hands, and then experiences his second emotion - pleasure - at having killed the person that was trying to harm him. I imagine my emotional arc…

props to 90-yr old Michigan’s ex-Rep. Dingell for trolling so well

I’m heartbroken for all of them.

I’m not a parent, but the thought of being in the position those parents found themselves in fills me with a kind of blind, impotent rage that brings angry tears to my eyes.

The incident only ended when his parents arrived.

As we address the inappropriate behavior displayed by several students, we remain committed to supporting the vast majority of our student athletes,...

Another way of looking at it: white Brits are overrepresented compared to black Americans wins and nominations, if one wants to talk about the US population. Colin Firth, Eddie Redmayne, Kate Winslet, Helen Mirren, Christian Bale and Daniel Day-Lewis have won in the last decade. And Keira Knightley, Rosamund Pike,…

Yeah, global is a poor metric. It’s really US/Canada/UK, with a smattering of French/Australian/New Zealand. I also certainly don’t mean to diminish the underrepresentation of Latino and Asian actors. Ugh, fucking Hollywood. As Ava Duvernay said, we all deserve icons in our own image.

So sweet. This brings a tear to my Crazy Eye.

Correction, they probably called Depp’s people first and a blockade was formed to make sure the idea did not reach him. Tonto was Depp’s idea.

Counterpoint: you will be even more likely to lose a friend if said friend finds out after she’s wasted years of her life on an unfaithful sack of shit that someone who supposedly cared about her could potentially have prevented it by being honest with her, but chose not to.

I hope I’m wrong but I’m guessing she receives her fair share of slut shaming from the wives and girlfriends (‘why don’t you cover up then?’ ‘Or maybe don’t dress like a stripper or porn star!’ Etc). I doubt all recipients respond this way but I can imagine many would lash out in embarrassment or hurt or shock (at…

Oh my gosh, I really like this idea! I moved around a lot growing up and as a result I don’t have many long-term friendships. I’ve also radically changed my lifestyle (partier to non-partier) so I lost a few friends when that happened, too...not in a bad way, just in an “I love you but can’t be around people who party…

“women control their bodies, not the government”

Ugh, this one is worse. I think all white people need to sign a binding contract promising to NEVER guess what Martin Luther King Jr would do or say. I will happily sign.

And made a pretty good apology.

*shrug* He made a dumb remark, and was corrected on it. He’s fine.
