A friend of mine made what I think is a really astute statement. Basically, the gist was that Trump’s followers are in charge now. No politician, not even Trump himself, can sway them as much as their own lumpen collective mentality. Trump is basically Dr. Frankenstein at this point, rather than the leader of a…

C’mon, Trump. Just deliver the Coup de Grace on this chuckle head. Say something like, “I understand that Matt Gaetz is in a lot of trouble, but I don’t know the details about it because we were never really that close.”

Sixth sense is for ghosts and shit, seventh sense is for abuse and abusers.

This is far from the first time a gender reveal party has ended in tragedy, and at this point one has to think that the risk of injury or fatality for those attending them is quite high.

Or they have talked and mitch lies yet again

I agree that it was credible and that it wasn’t likely to sink the nomination on its own, given that it was high school behavior. What should have sunk the nomination was his reaction to it, which was that she was lying and he didn’t drink too much and it was a conspiracy against him and yelling and crying and saying…

Except that it is true. His arguments are generally straw men, or easy, obvious points. Nearly everything I’ve read or listened to from him is either completely misrepresenting opposing points of view, or playing “gotcha libs!” with kids on college campuses. That is the definition of intellectually lazy. Engaging with…

The ocean called. They’re running out of Ben Shapiro.

German Americans were grossly mistreated here during WW1.  And not just recent immigrants, people with ‘German sounding’ names and communities that had established in the 1800s and still spoke German at home.

It seems like the first question that needs to be answered is: Is gender segregation of sports even a valid practice to begin with?

Yeah, I would argue that this sort of absolutism is actually detrimental to trans inclusivity. You are not going to gain broad-scale support for trans people in sports if you insist on pretending that settled knowledge, like that T helps athletic performance, is somehow still up in the air. Trans women can and should…

In a more sane world, everyone would just use the NCAA’s testosterone policy, and then be open to monitoring outcomes over the course of years or even decades as we continue to accrue more observations of trans athletes. This is a topic where I don’t really care about people’s opinions right now. I think the…

I’m no butter connoisseur and can imagine that butter raised in Canada, where the government intervenes a little more heavily in the marketplace, has a better taste.

My issue with the above comment was the way they said it was “true” that it was “probably” better. It just bugged me, especially in light of it being…

If you replaced "Joss Whedon" with "Aaron Sorkin," this article's premise and argument would remain the same. 

If you find yourself living in a community of assholes, sending your kids to a school run by an asshole, it’s maybe a good idea to find a better community.

ROFL...neighbors and parents “discovered” the site, huh? Any word on which dad or dads outed her to the rest? Jesus is fine with us LOOKING at OnlyFans, apparently...it’s only the posters who need to be kicked out. You couldn’t pay me to send my kids to a Catholic school. 

This kind of us vs them squabbling is exactly what the 1% want to see to avoid having to pay their fair share of anything in our system. The only contribution this writer made is to decry parents getting 3k per kid. So. Stupid. I mean, really embarrassingly brainless. They should get on unemployment and give up this…

yah, there's got to be other actors who can take on this role, and with a similar characterization. and really, her acting was embarrassingly bad, so we're hopefully going to benefit twice over here.

Can you get Twitter on a Jitterbug phone?

That, and also I can’t fucking stand sanctimonious people who thrive on public shaming and virtue signalling. Even in cases where they’re right, they’re fucking obnoxious wankers.
