The Guardian had a great write-up of how immigration fear was the biggest driver of “Leave,” not immigration; in neighborhoods with large percentages of recent immigrants, the majority of British voters voted “Remain.”

I was a little shocked by the number of people on my Facebook feed this morning who were all “good for them” and then going on about “fear for their way of life” and of course, immigration. I hope that they get a big dose of reality as the day sets in and start to change their tune but I fear that some people have…

its like when you were little and fighting with your brothers in the car on the way to see Tarzan and your mom said she would turn the car around if you didnt stop and you didn’t believe her so you kept fighting and then she did and your life flashed before your eyes.

Dear Anonymous,

It’s just typical slut-shaming. The men who sneer at sex workers are the exact same ones demanding a plethora of cheap porn/strippers/prostitutes.

I know police forces are apparently technoligcally incompetant and can’t understand how online harassment works, so I get why the haven’t forced the website down. But it makes me wonder why:

1) Why hasn’t the web host removed the site? It must violate their terms of use, or at least be bad PR
2) With all the press…

A Canadian man bringing firearms to the U.S.? Coals, meet Newcastle.

Once again, my thoughts go to Margaret Atwood.....

Hey now, she cannot have an objective reasonable fear of him since he lives in another country. Right Canada?

Can we talk about the fact that this man said this to the son he shares with Capuano? He told a teenage boy that he wants the boy’s mother dead and he hopes she kills herself.

Up to ten years, but criminal harassment, especially online, is a crime that has only recently started to be treated seriously in Canada. Look up Rehtaeh Parsons’ case to see how incompetent and/or dismissive our police have been until just now. Or, don’t, and have a more pleasant morning.

Or he sees this as just one more thing to blame her for. In his twisted logic, she’s making him do all of this to her. It’s all her fault. People like this often take no real responsibility for their actions or their own reactions.

Man, that seems like an A++ pro bono case. Hopefully some kind-hearted torts attorney sees her and gets in touch.

what really scares me with these guys is they don’t give a flying fuck if the destruction is mutual. they’re so angry and unhinged that they’d sacrifice themselves just to get revenge. he’s (hopefully) ruined his own life (though not on the same level of ruination that he’s inflicted upon his ex and her son) with…

and she is still frustrated they did not charge him sooner.

Now, Fox has been arrested in Washington state and charged with criminal harassment and “possession of firearms in an unauthorized location” by Canadian authorities.

On that topic, I know that we are reading about this on Jezebel — but does the mainstream news report on the ever-increasing rash of these women murdered by intimates or rejected paramours? If this had taken place in Pakistan, and someone threw acid in her face, it would be front page news, here, yes? But another…

I hope someone is keeping track of women murdered by present or former partners the way the Post is tracking deaths by shooting. Would be illuminating to see it all in one place.

All Beckys. Every one a Becky.

Of all the things to be gleeful about, assaulting a minimum wage worker (I presume) has got to be the dumbest shit I’ve seen all week.
