Someone starred me for precision last week, and I’m passing it forward. I am sick to shit of the conservative rallying cry that actual journalism they disagree with is fake news and I am sourcing the shit out of everything I post here, (1) for accuracy and so people can verify what they read, and (2) to arm fellow

I briefly attended a Big Ten school and heard about this, but didn’t put much stock in it (naive freshman). I was acquaintance friends with a football player who tried to get me to write papers for him periodically, which I always declined. One night, he called me up and kept trying to get me to go out with him and

I once happened upon a cat show in a small town and it remains one of the single most fantastically absurd things I’ve ever witnessed, to the point I sometimes wonder if it was a mirage. In one area they were legitimately having cats swipe at those ribbons on wands to test...predator instincts, I guess? I don’t know,

Ryan is such a spineless piece of trash. Because this gave me a much needed chuckle- did you see someone briefly added him to the wiki page on invertebrate animals?

Yes - like she didn’t get it, was mocking him, and trying to pull focus on herself. It was gross.

Amen to that. I certainly don’t impute that officer’s actions to all police officers. And there’s obviously a public safety reason police officers are there in the first place.

Holy hell the guy in the pink shirt. That cop basically just threw a haymaker without a full fist. I am floored. At least it was caught on camera?

Argh, correcting myself - the CTO is Vietnamese and came here as a refugee, and did send a scathing email about Trump, but it predated the ban by a few days. I was blending the two in my mind. Just trying to be precise here as we live in the age of alternative facts.

Bannon’s fingerprints are all over this ban. Apparently (though Preibus denied this), he disagreed with DHS that the ban would not apply to green card holders, which created further confusion. I was reading yesterday that Bannon allegedly told a Daily Beast reporter that he was a Leninist in that he wanted to tear

The last I read was that Uber’s CEO had been in contact with the Trump administration for the primary purpose of working with them to make sure Uber’s voice is heard. The CEO also said something to the effect of whether or not they agree with an administration, they want to work with those in power to improve

Thanks, had been doing some of that, may try again tomorrow though we just seem to go in circles.

Oof, mental illness adds a layer of complexity. Same on certain commenters who show glimmers of rational behavior. Like, we can march and donate and volunteer and all these things, but minds also need to be changed, right? I can’t resist the temptation to at least provide some actual facts to these people so they can

I know wild animals are not pets. I know this. I also know I need that red panda.

I’VE GOT YOUR GRATERS RIGHT HERE YOU HATEFUL, IGNORANT MOTHERF*ERS. PAUL RYAN YOU ARE FIRST IN LINE WITH YOUR BULLSHIT #NEVERAGAIN LIP SERVICE AND ALL-AROUND SPINELESS SHITWEASEL BEHAVIOR.

I tweeted yesterday about how it’s so disgraceful that Trump signed what is effectively a Muslim Ban on Holocaust Remembrance Day (as did a zillion other liberals/people with a brain and capacity for empathy - I know this wasn’t an original post by any means) and some foolio on twitter came for me and I’ve been going

Stop trying to make Eva Amurri happen. It’s not going to happen. *People Magazine I am looking at you.*

Personally hassling the National Park Service to find more flattering photos of his inauguration crowd size kills me. Like, it would have been a thing on Twitter for an afternoon and then people would have moved on to the rest of the horror show of his administration. I’ve come to the realization that there will never

Fair. I was never particularly interested in the relationship between Joanna and...I forget his name that nerdy/creepy doctor.

Yes, like THIS REPORTER should have asked him that - “how does it make sense to run up the vote count in CALIFORNIA?”. I only watched the clip above because I don’t hate myself enough to watch an entire interview with Trump, but he was let off the hook AGAIN. No follow-up of “Although I spoke to the study’s author, I

An obscure reference for the Jezzies familiar with Dr. Secretan, who went to a fancy all-boys school, loves Zurich, and would absolutely start a company that is a portmanteau of “magnificent penis.”
