I’m sure Jezebel would be flattered to learn they are capable of “tanking” any candidate.

So, when’s that Harris versus Pence debate?

You’re right, we won’t likely agree on this, but your position is well-articulated so I didn’t want you to languish in the grays.

Duuude, you don’t pull and wave a gun unless you know the people on the other side of the door are hostile. You hold it behind the door in a way that the people on the other side can tell you are holding a gun if they CHOOSE to be hostile, but cannot prove. My grandma knows how to do this, how can a DA’s husband not?

What you are missing is that she didn’t criticize his choice of wife. She just pointed out the pattern of all of these wives being light. It’s not a flaw on the women’s part, nor a question of their blackness. What is being pointed out is the pattern of preference on the part of the rappers.
Let me also point out that…

Black people didn’t create the dichotomy, it’s just another cultural symptom of the disease of racism. Light-skinned blacks got better and preferential treatment historically and the threads of that exist today because beauty norms still favor light-skin over dark skin. But it goes beyond beauty into every facet of…

I work in data science, not medicine, but I have had occasion to explain what ‘comorbidity’ means way too frequently recently just from a ‘how to give a good estimate’ perspective.

What about his assertion that literally no one can remember the words “person woman man camera tv” in order?

So, I administer the MOCA a lot. As a clinician, I consider the MOCA more useful as a screening tool than a proper, full assessment, which is why I dislike it. However, it’s so easy and quick to administer, that I use it in a pinch. It’s not psychometrically appropriate to determine whether or not a person has…

(Also what I think of when the dumbshits start crowing about “blue lives matter”)

You're being too optimistic. Her trans friend is a Mr. Potato Head doll that she dressed up with the puffy lips. 

Even before she posted this I felt she was one of the many people that got sucked into one of those internet bubbles where they search for certain topics and the algorithms and whatnot are leading them down the rabbit hole and before you know it they believe all sorts of crazy and/or bigoted things. It’s easy to…

Her argument is that she has subscribed to long form articles so is totes educated on the subject

“Tattered Cover has been largely quiet in the wake of the events that have unfolded over the last ten days. We want to make a statement of support and take a moment to explain why we’ve been quiet.”

Yea he was working a little too hard there. That’s not helping anyone and I doubt he’s the calming presence his wife needs if that’s his reaction. 

“I wonder how it will be enforced because [they] will need to physically stop me from being by her side during the most precious time of our lives,” he said.

I’m 20 weeks pregnant, living in NYC, and not super pleased about this. Obviously I want my husband there for the birth of our second, but I have to trust that my doctors won’t let me die because he’s not there. What an annoying scare tactic. Pregnant women are scared enough during this pandemic already, thank you. I…

Mortality? Probably not. But there are tons of studies on how the presence of a partner can reduce anxiety. And lots of studies about how anxiety can hinder childbirth. And about how having an advocate can reduce the use of unnecessary measures that introduce other complications. It’s a difficult thing to prove and I…

I just ate a Dorito. There was no investigation, I have not been legally found to have consumed a Dorito, but it still happened because I admitted it and you have the common sense to recognize that the evidence is pretty strong for my Dorito consumption even though you weren’t there to witness it. Yes, that evidence…

Eugh. Why are we giving these men a platform? Are there really no better guests? What is the impetus behind this?

I know what it is: views.

And it’s still gross. It’s just a pity-party circlejerk for the men out there who KNOW they too would have been implicated in a public me-too movement if they were public figures,…
