I think it is disguising the way people have reacted to Kaepernick. He is part of a long tradition of black athletes using their position to make a statement about the prejudice and discrimination that they face in the United States (see: Carlos, Smith, and Ali just for starters). All the bullshit about trying to…

I can’t imagine the psychological position of having filmed a rape scene informed by one’s own experiences and then to find out that the writer and director who helped create it were also accused of rape. Moral vertigo.

Fuck Judge Gary Gilman. This woman’s death is on your hands asshole. And as usual incompetent men won’t suffer consequences while this woman is now dead.

Some Astronomers think that, although the life is probably prolific in the universe, the chance of two advanced civilizations overlapping each other is infinitesimal. The universe is so vast that whole civilizations like ours could have lived, evolved, and been wiped out before we ever even came around. So even if…

“Taking a dive is for losers, even if you win.” —the drunk uncle I’m turning into

Nah, man. I get the dive was legal but it was also a shitty thing to watch.

Am I the only one who doesn’t get how that dive was legal? I’ve never seen that before. Is everyone going to start throwing themselves across the finish line to get their medal now?

Not to mention that Guiliani’s blatant failure to have the police and firefighters on the same radio channel could have saved hundreds of lives, his absolute disdain for empathizing with, acknowledging, or trying to help all the first responders who came down with cancer and other horrible illnesses financially, and…

We’re all being gaslit right now.

What the fucking fuck? This all feels like some kind of dystopian future YA novel, but just the part where everything really sucks. Where’s our plucky hero to save the day? (Simone Biles, what does your schedule look like after Rio?)

This campaign is actually making me question my sanity. They will say something crazy and stupid, and even though I know they aren’t right I still have a moment where I somehow doubt, you know, the facts of the world.

correction: Kevin Durant met Katie Ledecky

You’re 100% right and I retract my nomination

Lewandowski’s “well I didn’t say that, YOU brought it up” is some elementary school bullshit. Is the Trump campaign perhaps actually being run by groups of two seven year olds stacked on top of each other with a trench coat?

It drives me up the wall. I had things like reduced lunch as a kid, and now, guess what? I am a college-educated citizen with a job, who pays taxes, contributes to society, and serves in the military. You know what would have made all that impossible? Not being able to think in school because I was so hungry. So for…

Yes, I’m not sure what the shaming surrounding people utilizing social programs designed to level the playing field/provide needed support is. Can’t bootstrap if you have no shoes.

Even if he was an affirmative action admission all it would prove is that affirmative action kicks ass and is worth the investment, because we got Barack Freaking Obama out of it.

Pretty sure Cinna was in charge of that decision.

Man, I’ve always switched the station when “Fight Song” comes on the radio, but I finally watched that video they made today and I was tearing up and goosebumping like crazy at my desk.

When she came out, dressed all in white like a fucking angel coming to save us from Donald Trump, my heart just seized up in joy.
