I wish people would grasp how incredibly relevant this all still is today. I live in New Orleans where the public, extremely segregated schools have been more or less replaced with charter schools a decade ago in an attempt to correct performance and help lower income and minority kids. Now kids could to go “whatever…

Yeah they pretty much cemented that Mac users were insufferable hipsters and PC users were normal and laid back. 

Why? Jezebel is scrutinizing his legislative record — the very thing he’s running on. Why shouldn't we hold him responsible?

The grand jury is part of the charging process. People get tripped up by the use of the word “jury,” but it doesn’t involve a trial or conviction. The subject (or subjects) of a grand jury’s inquiry often don’t even know about the grand jury. The worst a grand jury can do is indict a person (i.e. accuse them of a…

One of my childhood friends just gave birth to her 4th child. The older 3 have been vaccinated, but she expressed concern about vaccinating this 4th child because of “all of the new information about harmful vaccines.” I have advanced degrees in public health and tried to explain to her that A) Vaccines are safe; B)…

Dress codes are dumb in most cases. I say most because some work environments actually do require certain clothing items or restrictions on them for safety reasons. If you’re chopping down trees you probably don’t want workers to be wearing flip-flops for example.

Her focus on policy is one of the reasons she’s my top pick right now. I have a really hard time imagining much of this being enacted, but I love that she’s putting them out there, and wish the media would give more attention to this than to the horse race stuff they usually focus on (not you all).

Am I the only one that has no real problem with a candidate lacking policy specifics in April 2019?

I understand some people find cursive faster/easier, but if that were the universal experience cursive wouldn’t be this far into decline. It’s not as of this trend only started when laptops entered schools.

Bullshit. There’s very clear evidence that it helps move product.

Its mind boggling that they wouldn’t be automatically tested. 

The fetishization of serial killers needs to be erased from our collective lexicon. This is pain and suffering writ large into the public consciousness. Charles Manson has become some sort of garbage icon with his face on t-shirts and the semi-subject of Tarantino’s next film (Q, I used to love you, but stop it with…

IF you read the story, the creep made her mother shut her mouth with tape, then he murdered her in front of her eyes. It only took a few minutes for him to do his evil deed. No time to fight back, she survived. 

In our system (when it’s working), we need BOTH the leap-froggers and the step-by-step plodders. They pressure each other in important ways to keep moving forward without jumping ahead so fast we wind up with even bigger (albeit different) problems. 

Not to be pedantic or too much of a nerd, but Captain America is portrayed as believing and a symbol of what America should be and not what it is. He’d be sickened to have Trump be POTUS 

Must've been a Wii

Hi, I’m a feminist and I would encourage my daughter to pursue a safe and fullfilling career in porn if that is what she chooses and I know other feminists who say the same.

Was anyone else for the changes in the pageant system specifically because it heralded the beginning of the end of it?

Man Who Volunteered To Be Jackbooted Thug Shocks World With Amorality, Violence Against The Vulnerable And Disenfranchized

Is it just me or does “Border Patrol Officer” sound like the perfect cover job for serial killers, rapists and child molesters? Loners out in the wild attacking vulnerable, nearly untraceable people. <shiver>
