I want to watch a movie that’s set up as a typical romcom, but in flashbacks, with a courtroom as a framing device. The first half of the movie is from the guy’s perspective as he stalks and harasses someone out of “twue wuv”. The second half is the woman’s perspective of the same events, which is a slowly-escalating…

Oh, in Yiddish, it is absolutely a pejorative, especially when used as an adjective for all but the most literal circumstances (goyishe food, for instance, just means unkosher, whereas goyishe kopf is calling someone stupid). In Hebrew (and Aramaic), though, it’s neutral, and by this point, there are more Hebrew…

This is exactly why my parents raised me to believe that the solution to ‘not enough pie for everyone to get a fair share of it’ is to make more fucking pie. Rights and equality don’t need to be a zero-sum game, and society as a whole benefits from giving everyone more opportunities.

It’s sorta the point. They see it as their version of the n-word, and they’re ‘reclaiming’ it. Problem is, depending on which language you look at, it’s actually neutral (and, as a word meaning ‘nation’, is one frequently used to refer to Jews).

Bunch of broflakes decided that ‘goy’ was a racial slur used by Jews against them (‘them’ can be white people, Christians, people who aren’t Jewish -always a small and specific group that they necessarily belong to and other people necessarily don’t -unless those others are also complaining to make Jews look bad),…

Honestly, I figured it was someone brilliant who wants to watch the world burn, because I don’t think it’s possible to have this sort of level of incompetence and malice with this frequency without actively trying.

Well, the wand knows what to do with a pussy...

They don’t need official recognition. Consider Auburn’s “white student union”. They’re not technically affiliated with the university (and there’s been an official decree to that effect), and their website’s based in Florida (and registered to someone whose last known address was in New York), and they’re still…

Hispanic and Muslim student groups too -go to the social-justice-type clubs for getting stuff done; minority student groups because there are frequently direct threats, and it’s a matter of safety (although they also tend to be good about getting shit done for exactly that reason). We’ve been seeing a lot of this shit…

I’ve been having to give toddlers that lecture recently, and it’s so freaking weird. Who lets a kid that young just run up to strangers and/or unknown animals? My dog’s friendly, but she’s a pit-mix rescue, not used to kids, and usually thinks new animals her size like to wrestle. My parents gave me the “ask the…

I was so relieved to find out my dog is friendly. Now I can blame her instead of pretending I wouldn’t do exactly the same thing if I were by myself.

I’m impressed that it was consensual and (presumably) not paid for. And disgusted that the combination of those surprises me at this point.

I believe the verb the cheeto-in-chief used was “schlonged”. Because why mock the president with your own words when you can do it with his own, much stupider, ones?

That is the complaint, yes. I really hope that was a failed attempt at humor.

Most effeminate heterosexual males have extremely nimble fingers.

Yes! All of this! I’d also like to add in that children not be taught or allowed to handle guns they’re too small for -this is a country where toddlers regularly shoot people. That... that shouldn’t happen. Part of ‘keeping your guns secure’ is keeping them out of the hands of people who shouldn’t have them, whether…

It’s clearly a standard sign for all presidents. Otherwise it’d be “consecutive days being a national disgrace”. That or blind optimism.

Jeff Sessions weighed in on the Roy Moore thing to speak on behalf of the accusers. Being opposed to raping teenagers is a litmus test that Senatorial candidates can and do fail.

It feels gross, in that “members of a minority culture having to do the work to demand acceptance and teach grown-ass adults [how] not to be dipshits” should not be a thing that anyone feels they have to do, but it makes sense, and the sentiment behind the event is pretty familiar. I’m Jewish, and most synagogues I…

Also: if you’ve got “that one guy” in your social circle whom you know women tend to find creepy/sketchy/rapey, maybe stop trying to bug us into “giving him a chance” as a date or friend, stop giving him a pass all the time for and start talking to HIM about the way he acts.
