They are not employees, and LSU is not a private institution. LSU could *maybe* argue the coaches shouldn’t wear the gear, but even then its dumb.

The public university of the State of Louisiana, ostensibly educating its students to be leaders out in the world, wants to encourage them to shut their mouths about uncharged state-sanctioned murders lest some athletic wear middle manager become nervous about profit margins. Seems on the level.

Thanks so much. I’m pretty grossed out by how people are talking about her.

I like to imagine he has a giant glass piggy bank and he’s been saving up the entire presidency. Once the presidency is over, he’s headed straight to a coinstar and cashing the whole thing in to put money towards his PlayStation VR.

i wish people would stop using the mcdonalds case because that isnt even what the issue was

Sorry to be nit picky, but the McDonald’s coffee thing is a pet peeve of mine. The case was badly reported in the media, the issue wasn’t that there was no warning about the coffee being hot. It was a defective product lawsuit, because some idiot at McDonald’s turned the heat up until it was literally scalding hot.…

Melania can wear the FUCK out of a suit though.

His name is Alfred Olango, police confirm he was unarmed, and he has died.

I genuinely think Hillary Clinton is awesome. (So do all my friends.) The New York Times isn’t focused on us deeply pro-Hillary young-ins. So they never call? I love Jez. Love love love. But throughout the primaries, it was tough to call this Bernie blowjob home.

Sub-group? Men are the minority. Women are the group.

I support a total ban on semi automatics. All other guns should be strictly regulated and the owner should have a convincing reason to own any firearm.

The problem with most gun control advocates is that most have never handled or shot a firearm before.

Someone said something really raw and obvious on Bill Maher Friday night: guns are made to kill, that’s all they do. Yes, hunting, but in the end, they are made to kill. It doesn’t matter if we ‘ban’ assault rifles, a gun is a gun and rifles just have longer barrels; they’re all equally lethal.

Most of the ban period took place under the CDC’s grant blockage surrounding gun violence, don’t pretend there’s a surfeit of information to work with.

She was just standing her ground, protecting her family from life itself...

“Law-abiding gun owners” is a dogwhistle for “white people”.

Well you know what they say: “Spare the Glock, spoil the child.”

People missing the point will try to point out that she apparently was only using a pistol at the time, so likely not a type of gun that is currently being targeted by gun control advocates. But the real point is the disconnect between the dream—I will use this to protect my family!!!—and the reality—that it is far…

From someone in the business of fulfilling riders backstage, none of this is that odd. It's a pretty tame (and short) rider, actually. They need to move on. And artists need to stop performing with schools who are required to release contracts - because now I know I don't have to pay Luda more than 65! Cheap!

one can never entirely anticipate the outcome of something you say or do and no matter how pure your intentions, the outcome of something said or done does reflect on whether something is racist or not. racism is endemic to american culture and so deeply rooted that we often don't recognize that something could be…
