False. There’s also buttercream pink lipgloss and caramel highlights.  

Trump is the direct result of the Fox Newsification of American politics.

And one of them has bangs!

Rainbow of women?

I absolutely agree that in moments of conflict and disagreement, it’s crucial that teachers remain professional and that they never allow emotion or “toddleresque” behavior to interfere with either critical thinking or compassion. But I don’t think it’s fair to create a false dichotomy, whereby it’s impossible to use…

That would be fairly difficult to argue. If Carrey provided pills, he enacted the proximate cause of her suicide. But if the husband failed to provide a hypothetical deterrent, i.e., therapy, Carrey’s lawyer would have to prove not only that the husband knew she was an immediate risk to herself, but that therapy…

Wow, JFC, okay, 1) I’m not making broad catch-all statements about women. I was referring to well-documented statistics indicating that male police officers are more often the subject of excessive force complaints. Feel free to Google The National Center for Women & Policing if you’d like to do actual research.

In a personal injury lawsuit of this sort, you don’t need to prove that the defendant made the deceased commit suicide. You need to prove that it was reasonably foreseeable that the deceased would commit suicide as a result of the defendant’s action or inaction. But there aren’t clear-cut rules regarding civil…

I fully agree with your point, but it’s worth pointing that in the past couple of years, community leaders have tended to suggest that increasing gender diversity within police agencies would potentially lower the incidence of police brutality, because male officers are 8.5 times more likely to be accused of using…

I don’t think the problem is the vulgarity–I’ve yet to meet a teenager who is offended by obscene language. I think the problem is demeaning particular students, which is never acceptable.

I actually agree with MacFarlane that emojis are for 13-year-olds, mostly because I’m a curmudgeony luddite. But now I feel gross about the fact that I agree with Seth MacFarlane on something... I might have to change my opinion.

Based on the fact that you call the BDS movement and the UN’s findings on the humanitarian crisis in Palestine anti-Semitic, two situations that are ideologically divorced of anti-Jewish sentiment (in theory, but not necessarily in practice), I think you’ve effectively proven my point: because the Israeli-Palestinian …

Out of curiosity, what department/field are you in?

Johnson’s main platform in 2012 was that he would cut federal spending by 43 percent in a single year, despite the fact that no economist in his or her right mind would ever advocate for more than 15 percent per year. Which leads me to think he’s at least a little incompetent in terms of basic mathematical skills.

If we can equate registered independents with third-party voters (and I’ll admit that I’m not sure it’s fair to do so), then your impressions are spot-on: Men are more likely to be independents than women (45 percent to 35 percent), and white voters are more likely to be independents than black voters (40 percent to…

Part of the problem is that a huge chunk of third-party voters are in the 18-29 range, meaning they were literally toddlers and adolescents during the 2000 election. Unfortunately, all evidence suggests that third-party voting will have an even larger impact on the 2016 election than it did on the 2000 election—even…

I think part of the issue is that it’s extremely difficult for people to separate anti-Semitism and anti-Zionism--and this affects individuals on both sides of the issue. If you’re an anger-filled anti-Zionist, it’s rhetorically easy to slip into anti-Semitism while dangerously conflating Netanyahu’s militarism with…

Yeah, I’m guessing that anti-Muslim violence has largely been the result of increased fear-mongering among Republicans, 58 percent of whom believe terrorism is a greater danger now than in the wake of 9/11.

You voted for him in 2012 when he was running on the laughable, even cartoonish promise that he’d cut federal spending by 43 percent in one year?

LA Times and Rasmussen are both projecting a Trump win (admittedly, both have skewed toward Trump in their past percentages), and Reuters puts Clinton and Trump in a dead heat. Aggregates of polling averages put Clinton ahead by 1.5—which, personally, I find to be a little too close for comfort. Even 538, which tends…
