You know what’s funny about the movie? It wasn’t skewed toward either side, but was more of a dramatized retelling of history. In that way, the facts are jaw dropping. I sat there for the entire almost 2 hours without turning the TV or getting up for a break. Were it not for the dynamic between she and Prof. Ogletree…

I love Grandpa Joe. But that little bit made me hate him. I had some serious issues with Joe Biden initially in the movie. By the end it was a bit better but it really made me miss Ted Kennedy.

....you got me in a box here.

6.05 A batter is out when—

The 1B umpire wasn’t ruling an infield fly, he was ruling an intentionally dropped ball by Kinsler. In that case, the ball is dead, the batter is out, and the runners return to the bases occupied at the time of the pitch. To have that situation, though, the fielder has to actually touch the ball, and it doesn’t look…

This was written quite well Patrick. Though, on the subject of her moonlighting profession, I think she admitted to it herself? I’m not going to link the tweet itself here unless you tell me you don’t know what I’m referring to, but if you DO know, how did you guys still arrive at a decision of “inconclusive” after…

Nintendo has a policy that you cannot have a second job. Period. I know people personally who were fired because of this policy for relatively benign side-jobs (one of them moonlighted as a computer repair technician, for example). The idea that she was fired because of her per particular second job is wrong, she was…

The crazy part is that the harassers targeting Allison Rapp (and now Klepek as well) think of themselves as free speech advocates. Yet they are asking for Rapp to be fired for a college paper and then intimidating a journalist whose coverage does not suit their whims. None of that has anything to do with free speech,…

People don’t seem to learn even after the Justine Sacco incident that happened on Gawker.

So....just to make sure I’m clear, there are real actual human beings who:

This story has been a mess and a minefield, one that raises questions about the best ways to report on harassment while providing readers as full a picture as possible.

One point I want to make, though. For the great sin of covering this topic, the personal details of my family have been investigated, with harassers finding ways to target us in real-life. That we cannot even have a discussion without such extremes shows how toxic this has all become.

I think the standard pro-life narrative is that women are bullied or coerced into having abortions by abortion clinics or well-meaning friends. How exactly people think this goes about is very muddled, but it’s clear they hold the doctors at fault and assume the women don’t know enough to decide for themselves.

I can relate to this 100%.

No mention that this show has advertised heavily on Jezebel?

Fenves described Weiser’s death as “unthinkable brutality” and an “attack on our entire family.” The Texas Tribune notes that Weiser’s death is “the first homicide on the campus in this century.”

I’ve been wondering how exactly they define sexual assault in these surveys. For example, at a halloween party I went to as a freshman, I was dancing with a dude who started kissing me and shoving his tongue down my throat and gripped me too tightly for me to get away. My only saving grace was a guy (now Mr.…
