There’s really not much of anything here. The headline and the beginning of the story made it sound like Erin from The Office was burning crosses and shit. Nope, she attended some corny debutante ball thing that has a racist past. Most of the US has a racist past.

Am I missing something? I see no connection other than the origins of the festival or party or whatever that would tie her to KKK leanings. If dumbass Black people wanted to join that bullshit, that’s of course their choice but I don’t see where she was personally connected to the KKK or even racism. I also think it’s…

The point of the lawsuit isn’t really to draft women; it’s to get rid of mandatory Selective Service registration altogether on the grounds that it’s discriminatory.

I can’t imagine Ford doing another one after this..  But I think they did try the “Spinoff” thing with the last one.  My understanding was that Mutt was supposed to be the new Indy..  Thank god that didnt happen as Shia is a turd hack.  

Either way, the ACLU taking up the military draft as an issue concerning gender discrimination seems to me to be a pitfall of liberal definitions of gender equality, which rely on the idea that women must seek to do everything that men do.

Is anybody else fiending for a new historical Total War as much as I am? Tired of the only good Total Wars being Warhammers. I get that it is working well but the historical side built the franchise, please don't sideline it.

I don’t think they can truly enforce that. The answer is to not join a cult in the first place.

Yeah, it certainly seems connected. A quick Google produced this:

Any chance this trial can kill two birds with one stone: Danny Masterson and Scientology?

Nailed it. I’ve been having this conversation with my wife a lot lately. People have become IRL internet trolls.

Y’all, I hate to bring it to your attention, but from my limited experiences out in the Real World these past few months, this sort of behavior isn’t limited to just airplanes.

I think he’s mowing the lawn. 

Except everyone who gets the shot is eligible for it. The vaccine lotteries are only for a few people in each state. Most places aren’t giving everyone a prize over $50 for getting vaccinated.

“Child sex trafficking” is the new version of the “satanic panic” that was rampant when I was a kid in the 80s. Each conspiracy theory just as ridiculous as the other.

So somewhat related, but I recall some operational security measures for military members, civilian workers, etc. that actually mentioned not putting bumper stickers that indicate that you have a significant other in the military or that you work in the defense industry. The reasoning was that it pretty much said you…
