Weinstein is set to stand trial on rape and other charges in June. Sullivan’s decision to represent Weinstein highlighted the tension between the principle of affording legal counsel to the accused and college staff standing on the side of the victims of sexual abuse.

In a similar story, the NBA released a statement saying it will not consider giving Atlanta a professional basketball franchise as long as the law remains in place. 

Exactly. Nancy Pelosi has been going out of her way to say that, regardless of what Trump did or did not do, impeachment is not on the table.

Three things to note for anyone who might think DeVos has a point relative to “adult time”:

1.) I know of few—if any—dedicated educators who work a forty-hour week. At the college level, hours can vary depending upon course/research load, but the average for a teaching professor at my institution is around 50 during…

Exactly, I bet you can find dozens of similar example, but now we live in bullshit world where no one can accept losing anymore. 

I’m not sure which is worse—the would-be politician who disdains formal rhetoric because “I already know everything,” or the would-be LEO who wants to skip learning the law and go straight to firearms.

...I imagine they’re equally dangerous, it’s just a matter of time-to-damage: one’s a significant short-term risk, the…

Tucker Carlson is that freshman I get every semester who is thoroughly convinced that they do not need to take Rhetorical Composition, because, “I’m a very logical person.”

“With the sixth pick in the 2019 NFL draft, the New York Giants select Daniel Jones.”

This isn’t rocket science.  They just aren’t looking at social media, mostly on purpose.  These forces would rather deal with the fallout than weed them out from the beginning.

The question “can I speak to a manager” has become sentient. 

I’d like to encourage all other Klan spouses to follow suit.

This game is called “How Many Things In This Ad Would Never Happen?”

I have a feeling that the term “stochastic terrorism” will increasingly be on people’s lips, over the next few years. That’s what Trump and his followers are perpetuating, here. There are going to be battles over “mah freeze peach!” versus what is necessary for the greater good, and how we reasonably preserve speech…
