Clearly my opinion is in the minority, but honestly are we just completely abandoning the idea that prison is for rehabilitation? Or at least, it is supposed to be-the way the US has designed it makes it much more difficult.

I mean, if these are the the worst they’ve got...this is...not that big a deal? I dunno; I know my fellow millennials REALLY hate that she is like vaguely moderate on certain shit (sigh, but I’m not gonna get into that rn) but after today’s pussy-gate is this really gonna matter? The choices are a qualified candidate…

How anticlimactic.

Exactly people forget about 10-15% of Trump supporter are not die hard, only about 35% is ride or die Trump. Remember the huge lead Clinton had a couple months ago? Those people can be swung back, and stuff like this, especially if it continues to drip, drip, drip over the next month, will help to swing some back to…

He didn’t apologize because his behavior was wrong. He apologized for causing offense. Big difference - this puts the onus on those of us who find it offensive. Besides, he claims that Bill Clinton does it.

I heard that story, too. I nearly crashed my car into a tree purely out of rage. I know NPR has to give equal air time to opposing opinions because of like the law and journalistic integrity and shit, but can we draw the line at outright idiocy and misogyny ? Please?

“I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait.”

Um. Donald. This is simple battery AT BEST and actual sexual assault at worst.

When “Long Live the Chief” came on, I had to pause Netflix just to figure out what the hell that song was. Jidenna’s gonna blow up.

“I don’t see why minorities would have issues with their policies, per se.”

don’t forget pretending we live in some context free vacuum where nobody is racist until they try to point out racism, thinking private citizens holding vast amounts capital and power over the lives of others is harmless free expression (it’s only really power and censorship if government does it) and continuing to…

They’re pro free market and are cool with said market sorting civil rights out, which is in no way progressive. Libertarianism only works for white people.

Also, it’s not so much “socially inclusive” as it’s “socially ‘meh’.” Libertarians (in a hypothetical world where they govern) aren’t going to rush to pass anti-discrimination laws lest they fear as being seen as telling bakers whose wedding cakes they’ve got to bake.

more like power poseurs...

Lots of research in this past decade has been questionable. Vox has done a great series on how science is actually having a bit of a crisis right now, most notable social science. With sample sizes that are either too small, not diverse enough, or led (either overtly or by accident) to the intended response, data is…

Admitting a student should be way laxer than admitting a professor, though.

I wish they would cut it out with hiring directors who aren’t really into comic books and so don’t respect the material, and also with having no problem churning out mediocre scripts. I really like Superman especially and want nothing more than to enjoy a movie, whether it’s Marvel or DC.

True story: it’s almost impossible to get a paternity test in France. (Don’t ask me how I know this.) Per Wikipedia:
