Okay, so I understand that she has made some racist tweets or whatever it was (I don't know the specifics), and she was stupid to have that "slave-master" line (wtf was she thinking?), and that is definitely an important part of the context here. But what, really, is wrong with anything she said? I think she's right…

Our city pulled them.
"The cameras have been installed at 12 intersections in Lubbock since last year. A report detailing the cameras' first six months of use, released in January, showed a spike in rear-end collisions at intersections with and without the cameras."
From other reports, they had shortened the yellow…
I thought all of the things you are posting when I read this, and I was like, "HA! No fucking way am I going to suggest in the comments section that Twitter was not the best medium for this worthwhile message. That would be a disaster."
I don't really get it either. Frankly these people who claim to get it, but refuse to tell you the point - I don't think they get it either.
Well I'm sure they'd fly to him if they were rich but they aren't. These are people he played with and he obviously has a place in their lives for this to happen. Just because you're tethered by a computer doesn't mean your mind and heart doesn't travel further.
Why the hell would someone publish that as a series of 40 tweets when a link to a coherent essay of the same content would be so much better.
While I agree with your point about protesters being massively against this man's actions and that he should not be labelled as one of them, I just wanted to say something about what else you said.
He killed his girlfriend and decided he would rather be dead than go to prison. He had nothing to lose and thought why not kill some cops as revenge before I do myself. Calling every person who kills mentally ill is getting ridiculous, humans have been killing each other as long we've existed. Of course it's not the…
This is why I don't like and will never like Anonymous. Vigilantism is only ever cool in fiction. If only they'd stuck to victimizing rapists (who, apparently, are no worse than girls who have sex on camera?) with their unethical horseshit, I was vaguely resigned to their existence. Their anger toward rapists was…
It thrills me to no end that while they both look like Windsors, their hearts are 100% Diana.
Here goes.
I didn't need these feels today.
Yeah I feel sad even fixing it. Dong Arts and Crafts is going to be the name of my new Lifestyle Blog.
One of the absolutely greatest (as in, most significant as well as one of the best) reasons I married my husband was that he's the Gracious Loser incarnate. He could make the most refined British aristocrat look like a tantrum-y toddler. AND by behaving like this, he's actually inspired me to not to be a sore loser,…
My sisters and I learned not to be sore losers from my mom because she was and is the sorest of losers. Nobody throws a shit fit like my mom does when she loses a board or card game. Half the time she doesn't even lose, she just "gets tired" and refuses to keep playing when things stop going her way. She did it when…
My mother: "Well Becky, you didn't know those questions because you're stupid. You just need to stop being stupid, you know? Then you can take Mama out to nice restaurant after you win a game show."
And in an industry that's been tanking for years. Every magazine sold counts nowadays.
Gunshot residue in the wound on his hand, Mike Browns DNA and skin in the sharp gripping surfaces on the slide of Darren Wilsons pistol. No wounds consistent with being shot in the back, and a wound in the top of the head indicating he was falling forward after being shot in the chest shows he had forward momentum…
The way that decision was reported was misleading - it was just confirming something everyone already knew - the cause of death wasn't an accident, suicide, or the result of disease. All the "homicide" finding means is that the kid was killed by the police officer. Which, yeah, we all knew.
