I get what you’re saying, but I’ve never seen Jezebel do an equal or better job of covering something that’s also been covered by The Root, so maybe we should be happy they’re staying in their lane?

It’s not ironic at all. He knows this guy is more likely to make decisions that are subject to attack on appeal. He’s not defending the integrity of the judiciary, he’s defending the integrity of conservative outcome-oriented jurisprudence.

He should get some experience on the local and state level first, and then move up to federal if he proves himself capable.

My mom reliably counsels cravenness whenever shit is about to get real, so, yes, I have received these warnings. She’s got narcissism issues, so she imagines viscerally knows that me sticking my neck out represents a threat to her safety. Like if I anger a dangerous person, surely they will respond by tracking down my…

Have legit posters been grayed or banned because of the troll(s)? I’m guessing the unfollow/ban process is connected with individual comments, so if troll posts something obnoxious, it’s the troll account that gets penalized. I dunno, it just seems like the entire trolling mechanism here is to weaponize your vigilance…

Wait. Olivia Colman has been cast as older QEII? SHE WILL FUCKING DESTROY IT (in the best way)

Can I get an explainer as to why I should care? I certainly understand that it would suck to be spoofed, especially if the spoofer is posting shit you find offensive. But it seems like this person is just getting off on being tracked. Maybe it’s best to not play along with the game of hide-and-seek?

A society that values honesty/morality in men the most would be very different than the society we live in. I can’t even get to the gender disparities because I’m gobsmacked trying to imagine how people could respond that way to an open-ended question.

Smart money is waiting for the story six years from now, where Stamos blames his child’s autism on vaccines.

Aw, you just reminded me of this:

This is very optimistic. When I tell someone I have OCD, the last thing I want to hear is “Oh, like the detective on that show?” I don’t appreciate people asking me to recite my symptoms, or expecting me to nod sympathetically as they describe some quirky little perfectionist thing they do, as if it’s remotely the…

It was a popular defense mechanism among the common folk in the Soviet Union — if only Stalin knew, he’d fix this!

You’re thinking of Babylon 5.

“Female” is grammatically correct in your sentence. People who can’t distinguish between an adjective and a noun shouldn’t be appointing themselves language police, but they love to do so anyway with this particular word.

Stephen Reinhardt’s suprised face:

What an oddly defensive comment. The whole piece is a celebration of her mom, and how she appreciates the ways in which her mom was different.

Does this apply to Roxane Gay and Lindy West?

“I had a conversation with [producer] Nina Jacobson, and she said this movie will literally define how minorities are represented in the future,” Lum told me. “There has not been a movie like this. It’s going to set some kind of precedent, and in a way, the world will be our focus group.”

Atticus Finch lost his case and his client got lynched. It’s an enduring source of aggravation to me how many people say they became lawyers because of To Kill a Mockingbird. They want the applause from the gallery, not justice.
