Challen, however, will not claim the inheritance and initially pursued it to prevent her sons from paying an inheritance tax.

I grew up in the Rust Belt in the 80s, and our mall had Sears at one end and JC Penny’s at the other. Funny thinking back on it, but the perception always seemed to be that JC Penny’s was “fancy Sears” (although this was in a very economically depressed area).  But then a buddy of mine worked for them in high school,…

MO has NOT been testing people. It was seriously impossible for my friend’s kid to get tested despite him having all the symptoms and being exposed in an area that has PLENTY of health resources. So, best case scenario and he was still dissuaded from taking a test.  Nursing homes weren’t required to report until the…

I used to live in the county where the person was from and returned to and have been to the Lake before. It is a bizarre place I never wanted to return to. My almost-80-year old in-laws also live in the area. It seems like almost no one Missouri I know (and I know lots of people) has really taken this seriously thanks…

This person went to two other places before heading home. The thing that gets me is how much people are willing to expose others. It’s completely selfish.

I mean, we can and should blame the MO government for their policies that allowed this to be possible but let’s not forget that all these idiots made the choice to be there and they deserve their share of the blame too.

But haven’t just as many progressives and activists been telling white people that racism is their problem to solve and that white allies have to work on other white people to make them how they’re a part of the problem, and to stop looking to POC to tell them what to do? But when white women tackle it head on and…

How the fuck did Silicon Valley ever get the rep as being left-wing and progressive?

That was back before racism was bad.

Admittedly, my memory of the dark ages of the year 2000 is a little hazy, but I feel like blackface was well established as being very offensive at that time.

“should self quarantine for 14 days if they have any compassion for others”

I think we’ve all pretty much already figured out that “compassion for others” is not a thing these people are interested in.

She’s only apologizing because she works for Franklin Templeton Investments, and people immediately started contacting her employer en masse.

This is disgusting and racist. I hope the reaction makes this woman seriously reevaluate her choices.

People need to start apologies with three simple words,”I was wrong.” Anything else is discounting the offense of their behavior.

THIS. While I cannot imagine being kicked out the place you call home, it’s not like she was forced to couch surf or even remotely consider a women’s shelter.

I understand as I work healthcare. I see how little the general public concerns themselves with anything that compromises their beliefs or standards.

No one is suggesting you aren’t suffering. All women suffer for our gender, but in drastically different ways.

He did not have a significant role to play - the same goes for all his cousins. Even his brother may be years and years away from the throne. Of course the whole enterprise is teetering on the edge of obsolete. This goes for all the other ‘royal’ families of Europe (and elsewhere) who still seem stuck on wearing…

This is so godsdamn perfect that I hope a tabloid editor somewhere is weeping because they didn’t think of it first.

I leave this here without comment:
