The photo of Obama holding a little one directly over his face - that seems ill-advised. I’m glad nothing came of it but it gives me the shivers. Especially with little ones they can be all giggly and stuff and then - projectile burp.

I think it makes sense. Of course she identifies with an educator who puts her students in danger and doesn’t actually teach them all that much.

Yeah, $33-$35 an hour at median seems fair, and I’m all for paying the people who are heading away from their families and into VERY dangerous territory to restore power to an utterly demolished area as much as $100 hourly, which would basically be the overtime rate + hazard pay.

I would think the title would give it away, but okay.

So, my 10 year old son wanted to play Stardew Valley. As tradition, we always start a new game sitting together on the couch. I let him play and he asks me for help if he doesn’t understand something and we sort of fumble through it together. We started playing around 7pm. At 8:30pm, game goes off and he gets ready…

I dunno, it feels like pointing out sources of fake information online is a pretty important job for a tech blog. Especially if the accounts impersonating key newsmakers are being routinely mistaken for real and referenced as actual news.

Clicking on an article you don’t think should be on the site is going to have the opposite effect if what you want. You see a story you don’t like? Just skip it. If, like you, the majority of readers don’t like these stories and don’t click, they would likely fade away as they wouldn’t get “clicks”. However, even…

Wow. A news story I did not want to read? I can’t even. What IS the world coming to.

I did say that his intent doesn’t matter and I meant it. Whether someone intended to offend doesn’t matter when gauging the reasonableness of someone taking offense.

Yeah there is nuance in life. There are also people who equate a woman wearing certain clothing with walking down the most dangerous street at night and don’t expect to be called on it. I am taking the moral high ground because you’re sitting in the moral low ground acting totally surprised when people take issue with…

What do you want her to do? Specifically name the random men who masturbated at her? Anyone with basic reading comprehension should understand what she’s saying.
She recounted what happened to her briefly (which twitter kinda forces her to do) - you accused her of attacking all men (she didn’t), then you accused her of…

She didn’t have to be more specific. She doesn’t owe you or Mayim shit. She was refuting Mayim’s claims that dressing modestly somehow magically prevents assaults. It doesn’t. It’s a stupid take. Being assaulted has nothing to do with how you look or how you’re dressed and if she thinks it does then she should keep…

That’s not what Arquette meant. Don’t be thick. She was saying she was dressed “conservatively” and that didn’t stop what happened to her.

I guess my problem is that I don’t think the conversation about sexual assault/harassment and the conversation about conventional beauty standards are related.

Eh, if this was her first offense at coming off holier than tho, it would be one thing. This is something she does a lot.

I guess this is the point where I inform you that 1) Black male slaves were raped as well and 2) rape doesn’t always mean you’re the one doing the poking.

Slaveholders regularly fucked slaves. Used the children they had by slaves AS slaves, and called it all ‘improving the race’. This says nothing.

Richard Spencer. He dated an Asian woman. Being a racist never prevented anyone from exploiting another human being for sex.

Second maybe Milo really loves this man (who hates himself probably), and this is a case of Dunbar’s Number in play. That is Milo still hates all abstract black and brown people but his boo is different, one of the good ones.

Whether or not he likes getting dick from black dudes doesn’t erase the hateful shit he’s said about OTHER black people, Jews, Hispanics, Muslims, and the LGBT community.
