Because I hate my job and will literally read anything regardless of how much I dont care. :/

As an MSU graduate, I am disgusted with her response, and have made that clear to the board of trustees, who I am also disgusted with.

Make no mistake. This is not a genuine apology from Simon. It is her covering her ass. Her silence and behavior around this matter, her failure to do anything although she clearly was aware from 2014 (thus allowing Nassar to continue abusing girls through 2016) is sickening. Just no. Do you think we are dumb?

I thought no school will ever cover up a pedophile on their staff like Penn State did. This, however, is much deeper. Like 5 times the size of Penn State scandal yet it received very minimal media coverage.

I didn’t see either sentiment in what I watched of her statement. She said “I just signed your death warrant” in specific reference to the length of the sentence she imposed, making it clear she wanted him to live out his natural life where he couldn’t hurt anyone else for the sake of the survivors, and so any future…

Thanks to both jez and deadspin, esp, for staying on top of this coverage.

As a Lansing resident, and former Spartan, I think it is well past time for her to go. The entire Board of Directors of MSU and anyone at the university who ignored or covered up Nassar’s crimes should also go. Ideally, I’d like to see some charges filed against them. I do NOT believe for one minute that she knew…

Front page of Thursday’s Detroit Free Press:

It’s funny when trolls pretend the human race will die out if men can’t treat the office as a sex club. There’s no other place in the world for people to meet one another.

I am FLABBERGASTED.

I know, right? Does anyone thing MPR wanted to fire its most popular and famous star? Does anyone thing they were waiting for some woman to talk about how she felt not-so-great about that one time he touched her back and dumped all the stuff from his desk on the curb in a cardboard box and then sat back and cackled,…

“If we can’t touch women’s backs while stroking our dicks in the workplace, then where can we? These witch hunts are going too far!”

A friend of mine used to be a network admin at Minnesota Public Radio, so spent lots of time around Garrison Keillor. He said one of the things Keillor was known for was going into a bathroom and basically turning it into a toxic waste dump, and people would whisper to each other what bathroom he’d been using so…

The guy looks like “the missing link”. I love public radio but I never understood the appeal to anything he did.

How are his lips only like half as long as his mouth?

I, for one, am shocked this was never about his disingenuous story where he accidentally and inadvertently touched one woman’s back that one time.

Uh, maybe there was a reason.

I love how these guys think the workplace can turn into some Law & Order episode where there’s a judge and jury who will decide whether they keep their jobs. All they have to do is be convincing and that’s enough of a defense!

And breathing heavily into the microphone for no reason.
