McKayla Maroney has already filed suit (in December) against USAG and USOC for covering up the sexual abuse. Michigan State is also charged in the suit, but not for cover up.

Though the emotion of Raisman’s statement would probably have me on the floor, I’d have liked to be in the courtroom to yell “YES!!!” to the judge’s statement at the end.

The thing I find so confounding about the complicity of USAG/MSU/USOC is... why? Once the allegations started to surface, why keep him? Did this shitstain appear to offer anything special? Did he seem to possess unique skills above and beyond the average sports medicine practitioner? Or was it really just the purely…

“I’m an adult, and I’m listening, and I’m sorry it took this long.”

Good for Aly for having the courage do to this!!

I just want to thank Deadspin and Jezebel for giving this the frontline attention it needs and deserves. Other outlets are giving it so little attention relative to its importance it is very disheartening.  I listen to the radio in the morning on the way to work and you would have little idea this was happening if…

You should also put Redbone by Childish Gambino on here. I know people love it for STAY WOKE, but at the end...when he’s done singing and that guitar kicks in....

WHO cares what she looks like? Nicki can actually rap.

I don’t hate him and I do find some of his music catchy, but I think he gets away with a lot of Nice Guy misogyny and it’s tiresome—for example, he wrote Justin Bieber’s “Love Yourself” but refused to sing it himself because his image doesn’t let him sing songs that are mean like that.

And because everything can’t be terrible all the time.

GIF post time, because, as I said on a different post, I’m out of words.

I expect Trump, if the worst does happen and he wins another term (fuck’s sake Dems get your shit together already), to keep on claiming all the guy in Office the previous 4 years said was lies as he’s already forgotten it was him.

#8.5.1 “Looking for an excuse to quit.”

Please, Prince in heaven, let him stop in the middle of Bye Bye Bye or some shit and have Janet come out with Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis to kill it with Control.

The policy comes amid complaints from conservatives across the U.S. that right-leaning speakers aren’t afforded the same level of respect on campuses as liberal presenters.

As a person who broker her foot severely, had operations, i can no longer wear heels. My somewhat young as* has to wear low heels. Its not a grandma thing, it also for us who medically can’t wear larger heels but don’t want to wear flats all the time.

Yeah, flats with pantsuits are no. I would never have thought that anything could make Queen Letizia look stumpy and frumpy, but flats with a pantsuit did it (see other commenter’s link). That is not a good look. There’s no making flats with long suit pants look chic. Cropped pants? Sure. But I don’t know anyone who…

I still remember when ballet flats emerged as a style option and I finally stopped wearing my Adidas sneakers out to the clurb with my ultra low-rise jeans.

Jesus thank you. All this hardline heels-with-pants bullshit is completely classist because it’s only remotely plausible to wear heels to office jobs where you sit on your ass most of the day. Women run households on their feet, they work retail and restaurants on their feet, they work blue collar jobs on their feet, …

Clearly, public presentations are not part of your regular repertoire, because in a pantsuit, you NEVER wear flats unless you’re pretty tall. The proportions get janky, at least for people like me that are above average height but still manage to have short, stocky legs. The 3.5 inchers I normally wear don’t work when…
