Boy, when the druids make a (festival holiday?) It really sticks.

How else are you supposed to ferry your sleeping child down The Strip at 2 AM with two fists of yard long cocktails, if not with a stroller?

My son’s in first grade and there is a classmate whose mom carries him everywhere. She’s petite and he’s not a peanut; his feet dangle past her knees. She carries him from the bus, she carries him to the bus, he sits on top of her on the bus. I thought maybe he had some kind of mobility challenge but them I saw him at…

There were probably off duty NYPD officers in that fascist rabble. 

We can’t protect ourselves. We can’t protect our sisters from the men that hurt us. We can’t go to the police, we can’t use whisper networks.

I don’t really have much of an opinion one way or another about what Schumer should do here, especially since there is not even a package for Schumer to accept (the last package was much better than it was portrayed here).

Sidenote: this gif also applies to anyone still convinced she’s just ‘trapped’ and needs to be ‘freed.’

I do stand with women. But we need to show the evidence. You cannot just say to somebody “I was sexually assaulted” or “you did that to me” because sometimes the media goes too far. And the way they portray some stories is not correct, it’s not right.

It’s a solid book and among King’s scariest. I haven’t read it as an adult, but I’ll second you that there are parts that would hit me with a visceral horror as a parent.

I’ll just repeat what I said over at jez

But I couldn’t do that. It was too late. This was our first train together as a group. All the fellas were there and everybody was anxious to show everybody else how cool and worldly he was. If I jumped in on Vanessa’s behalf, they would accuse me of falling in love. They would send word out on the block that when it…

No, you did not. The type of people who can afford this sort of service are almost all, without exception, insufferable assholes. You might get a decent couple, but that’s like playing Russian Roulette when only one chamber is empty.

You’d have to live with those assholes though.

Hey Kev, you do realize this “zero-consequences for trashing sexual assault victims” thing only applies to WHITE men, right?

What do you do when your country can’t even agree on reality?

If she didn’t have any sort of platform/audience, I’d agree. But people with her kind of reach need to be challenged and shut down repeatedly.

Bitch.... Michelle O accomplished more in her life BEFORE she became first lady than you and your whole tornado bait trailer trash family have ever even read about. Double Ivy League Graduate. Lawyer. Hospital Administrator. Mother. Go getter. Accomplisher of many things, not the least of which is to be married to a…

...most of them?  Frankly, I think we need to stop electing/appointing/hiring white men to do ANYTHING. Let’s get a bunch of PoC and women up in there and see what they do. Sure, there are plenty of assholes in those groups as well, but collectively, they tend to be less terrible all around.

Yeah but my hit list is a list of people I’d like to nail upside the thinkpiece with a brick.

Mohammed Noor is facing murder charges for shooting an unarmed white woman that startled him while responding to a call.  A mistake by a police officer their very dangerous job--- but that mistake killed a white woman so he shouldn’t have been that reckless.  Yeah, same here.
