“According to the report, Brunton Davis is a nurse and a man identified as Carsyn’s father is a physician assistant.”

Your Pet May Vary.

I don’t even know that I’d go with “most”. Feral cats or barn cats, sure. They’ve been taught by their moms how to hunt their own food and more or less take care of themselves. But your average, reared by humans, indoor cat? That’s like taking an average sedentary American and expecting they’d survive just fine out in…

She definitely is a person. The animal behavior expert she quotes, however, is clearly a cat that has mastered e-mail.

There’s no need to ration the popcorn seasoning!

They buy into the same gender essentialism of the right, it’s just that their gloss is that women therefore shouldn’t be partnered with or dependent on men.  

Also, she’s not the queen of the leopards anymore and maybe some other leopards are getting more attention and money than she is.

It’s got “now look what you made me do” smeared all over it.

Your friend is an example of “I don’t know how to convince you to care about other people”. He doesn’t give a shit about other people’s civil rights. He cared about his own, and that’s it.

This is a particularly stupid staging, though. The smarter grifters do a whole “I’m not touching youuuuuuu” thing where they can’t really be charged with a crime and then whine about freeze peach, and they pick some “liberal bastion” like San Francisco. 

Thank you for posting this. One small point of clarification - it’s not ‘hatred toward a protected group’ but hatred based on classification. People get hung up on the ‘protected group’ thing sometimes and think that means hate-crime laws only apply to Black people.

No, because presumably you do not have paint and brushes in your utility closet “with the intent to commit vandalism or graffiti”. 

EXACTLY. He’s not running for shit. He’s not getting on any state ballots. This is publicity that he can lever out of white publications and that’s it.

Please don’t uncritically put legal advice out there from people who aren’t lawyers.

Now THIS is good advice.

It’s true that “protect the company” might turn out to align with your interest; for example if Harasser Joe was a problem employee and the last thing they need from this mediocre asshole is having to defend a sexual-harassment suit. But it is amazing that HR people have such hurt feelings over this truth.

A forty-year career and his cousin had the kind of grease to get elected governor? I’m betting he skated on a lot of bad shit.

I’m guessing the ‘hot for teacher’ fantasy also didn’t involve becoming a father twice while they were still children.

It’s very strange that this article didn’t mention one of the biggest factors in 2016: a lot of white women hated Hillary, ranging from dislike of her husband to just plain internalized misogyny. Now Trump’s opponent is another old white guy.

That McSally lost and got a seat anyway as a consolation prize did not sit well with Arizona voters.
