The Koch brothers poured a ton of money into the Wake County School Board elections a few years back. They were interested in increasing segregation and spending on charter schools, ‘cause you know, they think Black kids and White kids in Raleigh, North Carolina should be subject to the whims of billionairesfrom…

Oh let this be the first of many blows to the exploitative and unsustainable clusterfuck that higher education has become.

Most people go through a period, either in high school or college, where they (i) read The Fountainhead and Atlas Shrugged; (ii) mistakenly assume that they themselves are the Howard Roark/John Galt characters in their worlds; and (iii) act like self-righteous assholes for a while. Then they grow up, recognize the…

It will always be Comiskey, just like it will always be Sears Tower, just like it will always be the Marshall Fields Building. Some names are too iconic to change.

Thank god I’m a librarian. The day they enforce a ban on Easy Spirit shoes and threadbare cardigans is the day I turn in my retirement papers.

I worked for a man (only middle aged, btw) who was reluctant to hire young married or engaged women because he felt that his time training them would be wasted, that they’d just get pregnant and leave the work force. He also gave raises to young men who got married because they now had a wife to support. Gave raises…

Wait...that’s supposed to be Renee Zellweger?

So like the blindside? Man, where would black folks be without white folks to rescue us from our destitution?

Now you know another two, my daughter and I both drive manuals

My aunt drove a 94 Lexus SC stick shift for almost 20 years....

My wife also, (Subaru Outback), but she's the only one I know personally.

Nice to meet you, I drive manual on purpose, now you know two!

So you know my wife and the reason I married her.

Once again for the cheap seats in the back: Gary Johnson originally won his seat as governor by a split in the progressive vote, and proceeded to tank the state with his “policies.” His policies were basically vetoing every piece of legislation that crossed his desk.

I say the first step has to be dismantling the prison for profit model. The bottom line underpins so so so much of the corruption in our law enforcement, policing and sentencing.

The white suit was a genius move

When she came out, dressed all in white like a fucking angel coming to save us from Donald Trump, my heart just seized up in joy.

They make money off incarceration.

Don't get me wrong...Tuohy is essentially a good person. But feeling "entitled" enough to walk up to some random black kids, and essentially ask for their papers to see if they're "one of the good ones" is part of the problem. Her friend is clearly a cunt, but for Tuohy's part, rolling up to those kids, like a fuckin…

What an actual nice person would do is tell her asshole friend to stop assuming a couple teens in her store are "up to no good" because they're texting while black, rather than feel the need to investigate for herself whether a couple of kids texting while black were or were not up to no good.

It's easy to say "we have…
