The student body is a whole different ball of wax from the administration and the conservative rich old people who give big dollars for buildings. Remember, this is the institution that named the basketball arena and the law library reading room after the guy who defied the Supreme Court order to integrate the…

I fear this is more accurate than not. See also the UF Law dean search where the search committee presented the president with a black guy and a gay guy, both with impressive CVs, as finalists. The university decided to pick "none of the above."

I've never been able to taste the alcohol in fruity drinks. Any of those super sweet, slushy drinks just taste like fancy slurpees to me. Always have.

Cyrus knows Jake killed James. He doesn't care whether Papa Pope was involved in this because he wants revenge for his murdered husband.

Thing is, my crim law professor, who was a successful criminal defense attorney before turning to academia, and one of the two most terrifying professors I've ever met, is an African-American woman with dreds. It wouldn't be at all unrealistic to portray a hard nosed, terrifying crim law professor with natural hair.

I gave up on the NFL this season, my heart's just not in it anymore. I made it through all of the horrible orange uni years of painful Bucs loses but the league behavior was too much. Figured I'd content myself with college, but after this week I don't think I can do that anymore. As a UF alumnus the reaction of my…

I guess this is why I spent the Super Bowl my junior year of college trying to explain the concept of downs to a bunch of guys who kept asking when they'd get to see the halftime show and when more commercials would be on. Little did I know that they were really the ones who were trying to teach me to watch sports.

Well, there are various conspiracies within the African American community, though those conspiracy theories tend to be rooted in things that actually did happen. For example, it's a lot easier to believe conspiracy theories about AIDS being a chemical weapon that was tested on people in Africa when Tuskegee Syphilis…

I'm going with the theory that he has some vision but it's severely impaired. A lot of people who are considered blind can see shapes or colors, or light and dark, and it's a misconception that all blind people see nothing. Detached retinas don't mean that all you see is darkness, light is still getting to your optic…

Hell, my sister played the better part of a rec league hockey game with a concussion because she was too competitive to come out on her own and too out of it to realize just how out of it she was. She wound up with a nasty case of post-concussive syndrome because of it and had to quit playing contact sports. And…

Will Adrian Peterson please stop tweeting semi-comprehensible Christianese in response to the developments in his case? He clearly missed part in the Bible about tying milestones around necks and throwing people who hurt children into the sea.

It was ended in England in 1833, I don't think that being slightly more than thirty years ahead of the United States on the "enslaving people is bad" train is a excuse for the stupidity of reporting on a racially charged situation without even visiting Wikipedia.

Also, if you've got a market that caters to Hispanic shoppers you're likely to find pork belly and all sorts of other meaty deliciousness.

I thought my brain couldn't be broken more than what bar prep has already done. Then I read that post. My poor poor brain.

You and me both bro. I'm justifying this particular distraction because it's law-related. I think I might find the nearest stadium and take a swan dive off the top of the stands this point.

This. I'm a stubborn ass who will dig in my heels and refuse to be intimidated by bigots but that line is so far beyond the pale that I would question whether I was physically safe being out around someone who thought it okay to throw a comment about nuking gays into conversation. It's so outrageous that on its own it…

There's always this lovely number too.

The Gainesville, FL affiliate abruptly cut away from the medal ceremony to show a shitty local commercial and then air the news. It's not as bad as cutting away from the game itself, but it's a seriously low rent move. Thankfully I could just switch over to watch it on the ESPN app with my chromecast, but what is…

Yep. When I was still convinced of my straightness I was like, "if I was gay I'd totally come out, it's important politically," but then I realized that I actually was gay. Let's just say it wasn't as simple and easy as I thought it would be.

Speaking up is a good thing, but when but when you make it all about your own self promotion you can end up hurting the people you're trying to help. Taylor, for example, seems to think that straight allies are more important than actual gay voices. While well meaning, that can serve to drown out the concerns that…
