I was pleasantly surprised that they weren’t charged with contempt.

Finally someone has done the right thing.

so the defense is trying to perpetuate an idea that following sexual assaults, victims should live the rest of their lives denying their sexuality, desires and interest, dress “modestly” (so as not to “incite” another assault?!?) and subvert their sexuality, attractiveness, etc.? How dare people who have been sexually…

I think his “childhood friend” has maybe had the hots for him forever and he totally ignored her. So her letter is a.) her getting out her anger that another girl—an UNCONSCIOUS girl—managed to get what she herself had always wanted, so of COURSE it’s that girl’s fault; and b.) I think she’s hoping he’ll see her as…

Welp, the comments accompanying a bit of fluff about an adorable child dancing couldn’t not be rife with anti-Blackness and misogynoir, I guess. Super.

“anything remotely black”

You keep talking, but you’re not making sense.

I don’t really want to pile on you, since a lot of people have already addressed why the phrasing here is upsetting. I just want to suggest that, in future, if this sort of situation comes up, there are ways to split the difference. If you are concerned about using the word “rape” because that isn’t the exact wording…

Lauren, I hope you’ll ask this question of someone older than you, and preferably not white, so that you can get some kind of understanding, which you evidently lack, of Muhammad Ali’s place in the world, particularly what he did for the self-image of black children growing up during his time as an athlete. He changed…

Many news outlets also refused to use “torture” to describe US torture of prisoners. The US refused to call the Egyptian coup a “coup” because by law if it were a coup we couldn’t keep selling arms to them. Obama promised to call the Armenian Genocide a “Genocide” but has refused for the past 8 years to do so so as to…

1. The Catholic Church contributes to the problem significantly due to inability to access birth control and abortion. People are being forced to have children they cannot support.

I just watched an episode of Dark Net (from a couple of months ago) about how Cebu in the Philippines has one of the fastest growing levels of high speed internet in the world.

I say this in good faith, and as somebody who really likes and fully supports Ke$ha in this and all other protest actions:

Dude, stop. Here is some context. I was out having beers (incidentally, with a girl I box with) last night, and both of our phones blew up with alerts from the NY Times and NPR about Ali’s passing. When I got home, I had left the radio on, and the BBC was doing nothing but talking about Ali. For more than an hour!

Stop being disingenuous. It is pure, craven clickbait.

I have to agree it deserves its own post. Ali was a hugely important figure in not just American culture but also the world. He wasn’t only a gifted athlete, though his work there is historic in its own right. He was also an activist, and an important one, who lent a voice and was a personal hero to a great many…

Awww, I feel like the only reasonable response upon meeting Ali would be to burst into tears. I would have done the same thing

I wish I could star this comment a hundred more times. Muhammed Ali was one of our greatest Americans. Including his death in a celebrity gossip post is so damn disrespectful.

Was a bit surprised to see the news of Ali’s death followed by an Instagram photo of Kesha’s butt.

Muhammad Ali’s death has no place in a dirt bag.
