This may doxx me but I used to work for the natural gas utility in that part of Wyoming, which was a direct beneficiary of the mineral rights of that ranch. There was no fracking there then and they wouldn’t need to do it now. But don’t take my word for it, take the Jezebel author and some rando PhD candidate (their…

Between this and the Rob Reiner piece, maybe you should just sit out the rest of the day?

Yes, thank you for the daily dose of angsty teen snark, Jezebel. Following in The Intercept’s footsteps, I see! Then again, all the pettiness in the world won’t bring back y’all’s favorite nutty professor.

Sincerest apologies for White Vermont Jesus being unable to cobble together a competent campaign for the win…

In addition to what other commenters have said about Rob Reiner’s progressive credentials, just a week ago, he and the surviving cast of The Princess Bride (minus Fred Savage and Malcolm Storry) livestreamed a table read of the screenplay (plus a Q&A after) to raise funds for Wisconsin Democrats. So that tweet isn’t…

Millennial progressives are fucking ignorant as all hell and their schtick is past annoying and tired at this point.

Thank you! Rob’s father, the late great Carl Reiner, also made it clear his fondest wish was to see Trump out of office and actively encouraged people to vote. This family has been advocating for change and justice for decades. Please Harron Walker, do your research and don’t be insulting.

Or...you know, watching ANY movie he’s ever directed. (This Is Spinal Tap; Stand by Me; A Few Good Men; The American President; When Harry Met Sally; just off the top of my head). I know she’s young, but how does someone miss those movies?

I had to re-read that statement twice because I was so taken aback. Not sure how old this writer is, but you’re right, a 30-second google search could have provided her some insight. 

If you didn’t know anything about Rob Reiner, you could have at least taken 30 seconds to Google him. He’s been a highly vocal (and financial) advocate for civil rights for 50 years. He helped start the American Foundation for Equal Rights. He’s repeatedly bankrolled challenges to Right-wing legal attacks on women,…

this is why the feds and states can both set their own minimum. IMO, Federal should be a base national rate that can get you by in a lot of places, and states/cities set their own minimums higher than that to reflect local costs of living.

Can people stop treating the “green new deal” as if it’s anything more than a vague wish-list of policy goals and seemingly whatever pops into AOC’s at any given moment as opposed to a concrete plan with numbers and figures? Because that’s what it is aside from the 15$ an hour minimum wage which Biden has already…

friends, loved ones, and organizing comrades

Not really an option in China. Women have immense cultural pressure to get married by age 26, lest they become a “sheng nu” (leftover woman) and shame their entire family.

This is the kind of situation where you are supposed to call the cops (as opposed to “a Black family is barbecuing outdoors” or “squeegee kids didn’t like me trying to fight them”). You could also try Childhelp, which may be able to advise you about other steps to take in your area like contacting CPS directly.

*I’d change that to most Euros to be honest (I’m European myself).

I hate to tell you this, but Eastern Euros in general aren’t exactly known to be super cool with non-whites. The latest wife is probably the same. 

“It’s no secret how most Greek US frats and soros developed”

AGAIN IT’S THAT EVIL DASTARDLY SOROS oh wait I get it, never mind.

Where is it that they don’t teach this in school? I went to grad school for secondary education in social studies, it’s part of common core. I doubt the average person can just rattle off that 6 million Jews were murdered but they definitely know it happened and that millions died, right? 

A world without editors is a VERY SAD PLACE. Aside from the fact that 23% is considerably more than one in ten, which I certainly wish had been obvious before you hit post, the original Vice article actually reads “One in 10 young Americans believes that the Holocaust never happened, while almost a quarter — 23% —…

The event kicked off with a question by a diabetic man named Paul Tubiana, who voted for Trump in 2016.
