It gets even better.

Pretty sure nobody here will disagree that the lyrics were offensive. Pretty sure everyone understands that perhaps a mistake was made; music was cut and Mr. Moneta got his coffee and his silence.

Sounds more like a classic college administrator power trip. I don’t think it’s particularly objectionable to not want the uncensored lyrics of “get paid” to be playing in a coffee shop, but it is absolutely ridiculous to then go and fire the employees after they immediately turned the song off. That reeks of school…

Not if you’re one of those borderline Calvinist evangelicals that have an oversized say in our government, currently.

States have often balanced their budgets and funded other areas of government by slashing education funding and “borrowing” from teacher pension funds. Teachers aren’t responsible kicking the can; they’re the ones being kicked.

I used to think that absolutely no one needed an AR-15 or similar assault weapon for self defense/protection. But seeing how frightened so many people are of this teenager, maybe I was wrong. The world is a very scary place to them, apparently.

Good for him, fuck that awful piece of shit Laura Ingraham.

Supertroll here never tries very hard for consistency. He just sprays a bit of diarrhea & runs away.

Today alone you have claimed to live in California, Texas, and now Colorado.

Reallllllly hoping we get Cruz out this year. Beto is just so good!!

I’ve been hating this news story. In college, we cracked open some agar plates for a project, then realized we had a few too many and put them back (it was a beginning bio class, so we weren’t super invested in the experiment or proper procedures).

They aren’t doing Hugo’s original though, they’re specifically doing the Disney musical adaption. The difference is the key.

There’s a weird but interesting European tradition of “exotic” protagonists being secretly white protagonists lost at birth and raised by the outsider culture.

Nah, the Disney version doesn’t have the same backstory, she’s a WOC in the Disney film and should be played by a WOC actress in the musical.

If you are going to be pedantic, then you should not use contractions in written communications, unless quoting speech: “I would have ...”

Yeah, the GOP sure suffered at the ballot box in ‘16 after they shut the government down in ‘13, didn’t they?

Because ‘bigger name’ is a subjective standard, and subjectivity leaves a huge open door for biases and systemic prejudice to keep working. This is far from the most egregious example, but it is a piece of a very long pattern that keeps finding excuses to pay men more (including writing and casting them as leads more…

Truly, I feel SAFER now that this little boy will have his family torn apart, a hard working productive man will be deported, and the little boy will have to become a ward of the state.

Yeah, I experimented with libertarianism in high school briefly, but quickly grew out of it when I noticed how my boobs and vagina were causing the free market to treat me differently...
