No, I just understand how radiation works. It has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with science. If wi-fi signals were dangerous, we’d already see the effects with radio and TV signals, which are basically the same thing.

Yes, Hillary Clinton is solely responsible for every foreign policy decision made in the last forty years. Fuck you for using the bombing of children to jerk yourself off ideologically.

Then you may want to research the history of the term “Uncle Tom”.

I am commenting for the first time ever on a Jezebel post (even though I’m a long time reader) because I am CRYING over this paragraph:

I was just laughing at the other swimmers being like “It was all Lochte’s idea!” Fair enough, bros, but if we’re honest, you get what you deserve when you accept Ryan Lochte as your idea man.

I’ve always known Ryan was dumb. Like, properly stupid. But not even in my wildest dreams could I have imagined that he could bring about a full-blown international incident based solely on the sheer intergalactic power of his stupidity.

You inherently don’t trust her, and don’t understand the additional hurtles she’s had to jump being a woman on the national stage, so there’s no real conversation to be had here. We are both going to have our opinions and they won’t mesh.

She’s nothing if not pragmatic, and is going to have a LOT to prove while she’s in office. I think she takes money pragmatically and makes governing choices pragmatically. Therefore, I think she will uphold this, despite her financial ties.

this is the entire point of the media and journalism, to hold people’s feet to the fire. This is one case of journalism working exactly as it was intended to.

Prisons, health care and education

Well, it is not yet accomplished. I will be relieved when there are no more private prisons, although this is a step in the right direction.

The fact that companies are in the business of imprisoning people and generating enough profit to be traded publicly on the stock market is disgusting. Corrections should not be a for profit business venture, ever.

As always, it took a journalist going undercover for the government to get embarrassed enough to actually address what had been going on all the time.

I know. I’m not famous (like super not famous) but the idea that it’s cool for a company to be like “Hey, Sehjma, thanks for ordering <potentially embarrassing thing> from us!” all over their social media is...not cool.

I agree. If they wanted to write and include the note to her- fine. But posting it publicly is crossing boundaries/ a bit of a violation to me. Not cool.

I’m surprised to find myself in this camp, too. If Ivanka published the note once received, I’d be praising the note and the donations, but having it put up by the folks who sent it? Nah. It’s one thing to stand by your convictions, it’s another to put it up on social media and make it a big thing.

“Listen, I love Mary very much, I love her family very much, this is just an issue on which we disagree”

I wish I had enough money to go get a Ph.D. and not worry about paying rent or the student loans I already have :( I am totes jealz of Ashley Judd.

I don’t think it’s the man holding his child in his underwear that’s weird about this. It’s a man talking about adopting a kid while trying to sell the underwear that’s weird.
