I would say a person who is 25 and has six kids is the perfect person to speak of the benefits of birth control! If he didn’t have access to PP or sex education, he is just one more example of what happens, and will continue to happen if PP is defunded. Sex education matters! Access to birth control and sexual…

Why? So you can be a righteous asshole? This man DONATED THE PROCEEDS OF HIS SHOW TO PLANNED PARENTHOOD SO OTHER KIDS DON’T MAKE THE SAME CHOICES.

I know right? Try filling out those 40 pages of forms by yourself and see how you do. Do you have your TISH done? Do you even need one in your city? Should you do a full seller’s disclosure or a waiver? What do you do the first time you try to turn on the heat and realize that the seller took out the $1000 Nest…

I’m a journalist (legal/court reporter, actually) and honestly both times I was sued it was because the plaintiff(s) were angry that I was writing about their cases. Both got thrown out. But as a journo, you get sued or at least threatened with a lawsuit, fairly frequently.

If you get a good agent/broker, not at all true. There’s a shitload of what is essentially a mix of negotiation and project management going on particularly during the escrow process, and stacks of paperwork that must be managed and have the “t”s crossed and “i”s dotted. And smoothing out the timing and all the stupid…

Did you not read? Through her tweet she was able to find (presumably) pro bono representation. It worked like a charm.

won’t someone think of the ruling class?

As the article notes, having a strong case and having the money to pursue that case are not the same thing. Zillow’s case is so laughably weak (esp. bc even if this wasn’t clear fair use, Zillow doesn’t own the photos anyway) that I’m 99% sure they thought that, precisely because she IS a 23 year old woman, they could…

Posting on Twitter helped her locate a lawyer with expertise in this area, as the article outlines

Why? All she did was post the letter they sent. She was already contacting lawyers before she posted it. And because of this, she’s getting a lot more attention for her case. Which might actually be the thing that gets Zillow to back off.

These people are the fucking WORST. Imagine spending that much time and energy trying to rip off your FRIENDS! It’s especially galling considering that these were rich little kids who clearly didn’t lack for anything, not, like, 19th century newsies trying to make ends meet by grifting rich gamblers or something.

That book excerpt is just amazing. What sort of mentality are you raised on when as a kid you devise a plan to scam your own friends? The whole family is truly loathsome.

I’ve read this passage a few times and it never fails to make me irrationally angry. That, and the lemonade story. Fuuuuuck these people.

Omg. This is the best descriptor of these sad-ass shoes.

And made under more horrific labor conditions.

Given she wrote about doing this exact thing as a child, I’d say she knew exactly what the designer was doing.

Basically the best way to describe him is a Bernie-hotep.

He reminds me of Alvin Greene from the Gawker days, always mansplaining, hating on the Clintons, and lording over everyone with his Bernie-standom like he was Moses coming down the mountain. Basically the best way to describe him is a Bernie-hotep.

Calm down, Alvin. You’re out of your league with Rooo. Best to instead do what you do on Friday nights, jerk it to Bernie speeches and dream about mansplaining.

So now the Dems are giving Trump a retroactive alibi justifying Comey’s firing?
