New slogan?

It was cool how you found a way to diminish the idiocy of ESPN’s decision while blaming those reporting the change for the reaction it caused. Very adept. This site’s ability to discern who gets the benefit of the doubt and who doesn’t is never surprising.

ESPN must be infuriated that Gerry Sandusky is allowed to call Ravens games.

yikes, tweeted on international women’s day too...

Especially since let’s face it, her stunt calling for jihad against Trump could only backfire. Like the rightwing outlets were going to politrly publish retractions and note how she used the word—fuck that! They have a prominent leftist Muslim activist calling for “jihad” against the Prez of the USA! Run that…

The tweet in question. Whatever you feel about Ayaan, her anger and her activism comes from a place of genuine suffering. And given the fact that she DID suffer from FGM, saying “she doesn’t deserve to be a woman” is gross and indefensible. Because it’s something that someone almost literally tried to inflict upon…

Slightly OT, but Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s labelling by the SPLC was heartbreaking for me. Anyone familiar with her story would see that her stances on Islam are informed primarily by her incredibly traumatic childhood and young adulthood. The Netherlands and US have failed her badly as refuges, and now she is being used like…

“To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not OK.” True, but that’s not exactly what he said. Sending the memo seemed like a dick move and I don’t have time to fact check everything he said but will just assume that he may have been right on…

Regardless of whether his views were “right” or “wrong” (especially since “right” and “wrong” are so often subjective), all Google did accomplish by firing him is prove they are guilty of that which he accused them of: Being/fostering an “echo chamber” on this issue.

There is no logic to this argument. If a true racist/sexist both doesn’t want competition and believes that competency is purely a factor of biology(which, as far as I can tell, wasn’t Google Guy’s argument)(GASP) why not hire “incompetent”(AKA minorities via this argument) people who won’t outshine them.

I have a feeling that’s gonna be a lot of hush money.

Lets hope not, if a university as prestigious as Harvard would expel a student for having a view that they don’t agree with (or makes them look bad) then the conservatives are right. Even Google was very clear that the reason for the termination was for creating an unsafe workspace, I don’t see how Harvard could make…

As a liberal, its hard for me to stand by and see obvious censorship in the workplace. As a business owner, I can see why Google want’s to just swallow the negative PR now, pay James some hush money and do all they can to move on from this.

This will blow over in a few months, the guy is working on is PhD from Harvard, so he can just focus on that for a year and there will be plenty of employers that will roll out the red carpet.

Ironically that was one of the points the email author is making.

It’s no longer allowed in this hot take zero grey world.

You are literally the fucking problem. You and this mindset of “Oh shit who’s going to pat my back when I say this really righteous shit about this thing that’s popular to talk about right now”

Define irony. Lambasting someone for stating that it is difficult to express a dissenting opinion.

Welp, this is gonna be a fun commment’s section.

Sheesh. This could have been so much worse. Not saying they are correct, just saying if he’s an asshole he’s at least a thoughtful one.
