I agree Israel’s response is disproportionate (they always respond disproportionately) but Hamas counts on that and ensures the death tolls will be high by intentionally placing strategic targets near or in schools, hospitals, residential blocks, etc on purpose, using the civilian population as human shields, and the…

Are we at this point, where we have to specify video of a dead person is not current?

I don’t understand why nuance is so hard for people here. Hamas can be totally wrong, and Israel’s response to Hamas can be totally wrong. Don’t know why so many people think they have to pick a side and pretend it’s all rosy.

If this were a totally fictional story, and it was just a random character that was given a large prosthetic nose to broadly signal Jewishness, that’s “jewface” (which is problematic). In this case, an actor is using prosthetics to more closely resemble Bernstein, an actual person who had a prominent nose. AND…

There is no anti pick me. These are all just regular pick-me types, the common theme being, “hey guys! I’m not like those other girls! Look at me!”

Respectfully, this piece is in very poor taste. I actually agree with the general premise of it: I was a public defender for the first four years of my career. The prison system is very corrupt, and I have long advocated for there to be an age cut off for people who no longer pose a threat to society to be released.

Whelp, sounds like someone’s headed back to the Jonathan Minors

Anyone who tries to make the case that violence happened to girls because of how they were dressed is definitely *at least* a pervert.

Yes.

This is the best thing I’ve read in days.  Like all of this could have also happened between three coworkers at the local Hot Topic, and the stakes would have been completely the same.

The paparazzi says they did nothing wrong, and the world just believes them for no good reason. Simply because it’s Harry and Meghan.

Off topic —-but why is a stock photo of intertwined feet always used to represent sex? Do real humans do this? I like snuggling, but the feet need to stay out of it. Maybe I’m just a lot shorter than my partners and it never works like this?

I’m willing to accept that an 85 year old might not know all the ins and outs of a Twitter controversy.

You know what’s the actual damning story?

Please stop trying to normalize the term “Messianic Jew.” There’s no such thing. They are Christians, full stop. 

....what?

I keep forgetting. Do conservatives believe that boycotts are huge violations of free speech rights that only the illiberal woke left would ever call for, or that they are a legitimate form of protest (albeit one that almost always fails) that is itself speech?

“How dare you!?” Ha, wonder what he actually tweeted... wait, that’s what he ACTUALLY tweeted? My day is officially made. Also, this:
