How have so many other countries managed to eliminate mental illness so that they don’t have remotely the mass shooting problem we do?

Every born-rich asshole should be forced to live the life of the working poor for a month.

Fuck this. All these assholes coming out against Grace is hurting MeToo more than anything else. Misogynists are jumping for joy that apparently coercive behavior and pressuring women is not seen as a bad thing. Everyone keeps slut-shaming Grace, or straight-up ignoring the facts of the situation. She came out BECAUSE…

Bullshit.

the editors of Babe were . . . courting a bad faith conversation

Ok, here goes. Writing this out makes me want to barf. 

Around five years ago, I was a TA for an undergraduate literature course that had 300 students; there were two TAs and our job was mostly to do grading (sigh) and hand out exams and set up PowerPoints and stuff of that nature.

People can sit there and say Hillary was a bad candidate, but she beat…

They always seem to imagine that the closer they edge to Republican policy positions

It’s not about leading voters to the Democratic side - the Republican nominee for President has won the popular vote only once in the last quarter century (Bush in 2004).

I am deeply cranky about the idiocy around “not a great candidate” since I don’t want a candidate, I want a president, and she would have been stellar.
