You say that like it’s a bad thing.

Why? Nobody went to jail on account of her report, after all; the only direct effect of her false claim is that she wasted police time (and probably her husband is pretty upset).

Nobody has ever said that. What is said—and is true—is that women don’t lie about rape very often, and they do so at a rate comparable to the rate at which people lie about being the victim of other crimes.

Holy shit, it is. Jesus Christ.

Is that really her? I saw this picture, and my boyfriend and I were like, “wow, that woman looks like Jill Stein...” but I didn’t think it was actually her.

Speaking as someone with very (very) far-left political opinions (who nonetheless voted for Hillary because I am capable of seeing the significant difference between a disappointingly centrist neoliberal and an actual fascist), I can definitely confirm that conservatives hardly have a monopoly on dumbassery.

Totally agreed. They made what should be a simple choice—a flawed, but competent and well-intentioned candidate vs. the political equivalent of the vomiting man in Monty Python’s The Meaning of Life (with racism, misogyny, and not necessarily offensive, but still fundamentally misbegotten policy proposals in place of…

Given that Giuliani basically came out and said, “we’ve got a doozy of an October surprise coming up, just you wait,” it was clearly planned out to happen just the way it did, which, imo, strongly supports your hypothesis.

So do I. I have never claimed to be anything other than fucking weird, myself :-P

I mused in an earlier comment about whether the people who play No Children at their weddings are not listening, or just fucking weird, and I’m glad to know it’s that they’re just fucking weird (which I mean as a neutral statement verging on a compliment).

...didn’t everyone first hear that song at the end of Titanic? I think that may not be a case of poor listening comprehension so much as our culture being really invested in the idea of Romeo and Juliet being the pinnacle of romance.

Lol, I just mentioned No Children before I read all the comments. I actually bought a copy of Tallahassee on CD when I first got together with my now-ex, and it was basically all that I listened to for a good couple of months. In hindsight, the fact that that album resonated so deeply with me at that time was, in…

Also White Wedding by Billy Idol. NOT ACTUALLY A WEDDING SONG, GUYS.

Also No Children by The Mountain Goats seems to be oddly popular among couples of a certain subcultural niche, although given that the chorus is “I hope you die/I hope we both die,” that may just be that people who like The Mountain Goats are fucking…

That’s... a really weird thing to be your “thing,” and I would also definitely call the cops.

I had a cat when I was in high school who used to come running for me going, “brr! Brr! Brr! Brr!” whenever I came home from school, but she didn’t give one shit about anybody else. I felt so special.

I once saw a quote to the effect of, “the first act of violence the patriarchy demands of men isn’t the murder of women, it’s the murder of their own emotions,” which is so true and so chilling.

Wasn’t the crux of that article that he really wasn’t living in that house, and that it was actually just his ex-wife living there? I mean, I’m the last person to defend Bannon for any reason, but clearly it was his ex-wife dissolving bodies, not necessarily him.

This made me laugh to the point of momentary incapacitation.

Seriously! Like, he’s the guy who knows he’s infected, but he insists it’s “just a cough,” and ends up unleashing a virus that kills billions.

Full disclosure: I am white. Suuuuper white. That said, I interpreted that part not to mean that Preston feels that Black people need to see Get Out to gain awareness of “nice racism” (after all, I’m pretty sure that literally everyone in the US who looks even kind of darkish is well aware of that phenomenon), but…
