It’s sort of like an Amber Alert except when it goes off it blares “Do you know who I am” rather than “Do you know where I am”. And not amber, more like Beluga caviar pearly grey.

I could be Albert Einstein and they would discredit me as a horrible scientist. It doesn’t matter.

Dear Johnny, I meant to write you sooner but I’ve just been busy
You said your girlfriend’s living with you now, how far from home is she?
Look, I’m really flattered you came by the stadium like that,
And here’s an autograph for you, it’s on the front of the Dallas cap
I’m sorry I didn’t see you week 16, I musta missed you

Likely none for that part of the incident alone. Despite the lessons from the Seinfeld finale, you are almost never under a legal duty to help anyone. Exceptions are when a “special relationship” exists e.g. lifeguard.

“That bitch a boy” — Frank Clark, realizing he’d been swindled by yet another mail order puppy delivery service

Punched his girlfriend in the face? That boy a bitch.

So much of it just comes down to unconscious bias. People see two resumes (or portfolios, or bodies of work, or whatever) and automatically privilege the white guy’s without even realizing they’re doing it. They honestly believe they’re picking the most qualified candidate; they just don’t realize how much race and

I’m DYING. Clearly you need to jump on that mentorship program, because I can imagine Samantha Bee monologuing the shit out of this.

if it was then wouldn’t gawker have done it already

You know I’m torn on this! As a woman and person of color it’s great for ME. I mean how nice will it be to just be handed a high paying writers gig without doing any work at all or having any talent, you know? I could call up a few late night shows and have a job tomorrow, no resume or writing samples required!

Everyone PLEASE watch her show and make it a success. It would be horrible if a show that’s doing so many things right failed.

Diana, you have been doing the Lord’s work on this.

Now playing

You may be cynical about the actions of No More. But I am going to do my part by giving you a preview of my No More Faith No More DUAN I will be posting later.

Thank you for everything you do here, Diana. I suspect there’s greater things ahead for you on the basis of your reporting (not that Deadspin isn’t a great endeavor or anything!)

Real question: Do public service announcements commercials denouncing domestic violence that air on highly-viewed television programs cause a reduction in domestic violence?

A good start would be when you hear someone try to explain their fears, you don’t whimper about how that’s an unfair generalization.

Well, they’ve tried curbing date rape through ads saying “Hey bros, keep an eye on your bro, JUST IN CASE he’s a creeper”. But then people like yourself come out of the woodwork screaming about “WOW NOT EVERY MAN IS A DATE RAPIST WHY DO YOU HATE MEN?!?!?!”.

I imagine a large percentage of men are “capable” of killing a women with or without their bare hands. I think you mean to ask the question “how many men are mentally capable of killing a woman?” And, although that percentage is probably (dear God I HOPE) lower, it’s probably higher than I’d be comfortable with.
