I get that he’s the Pope of the people and all that, but he still doesn’t deserve to be grabbed—he’s not public property. Because if some guy had grabbed a woman like that, and she had slapped his hand away, we’d probably think it was OK, right?

Bernie Bros* terrify me. I’m afraid that they will react in the exact same way this time if their messiah fails again to nab the nomination. That they will stay home, vote third party, or vote Trump. Because, really, how have they been harmed by the shitshow of the Trump administration? They’ll scream online again…

On twitter I noticed a lot of people replying to “Imus was racist” comments with info about his charity for kids with cancer.

I like him bitching about “the drugs” all the time that drugs were literally making it possible for him to be the kind of rapist he liked to be. Fuck you, Bill.

Aserialrapistsezwhat?

You know how former bullies will sometimes send an FB request and you don’t know what to do? My response also applies here:

She wasn’t fired, though.

“He’s a musical genius, but if I asked him to make a fake ID, he would have no idea how to do that,” Kelly’s lawyer Doug Anton said.

This piece captures my childhood and queer identity. Not sure how to feel about it, but thank you.

Proving discriminatory intent is pretty difficult. California is better about it than some places, but I think it will be pretty hard when the evidence is as circumstantial as this.

It needs to be an app so that you have to submit your info to a third party, who can then turn around and get rich selling the anonymized data for marketing and advertising purposes, obviously. 

People can’t even fill out their profiles completely - they’re not going to do this often enough to make a difference.

Something, something small government, local rights?

Creepy semi-name-droppy comment coming, but.... I went to school with one of the stars mentioned in this article and I am SO FORKING HAPPY to see them flourishing and finding success. Watching someone be authentically themselves back in the day even when the world wasn’t ready, and then to look up and they’re on TV…

Oh, man, I was FUMING at the NPR story about this last night. I get the scale thing, and they’re not wrong about the fact that at those sheer numbers, you’re gonna have bad shit happen. But, look, we’re not asking Uber to fix humanity and solve the problem of sexual assault in society, we’re asking Uber to appropriatel…

Any dog that wasn’t 100% evil would have run away by now.  We can assume it’s guilty of something. 

Thanks for this...because I didn’t already hate this smug, soulless bitch enough.

“What irks me is the absolute and total disrespect for a police officer who, instead of being home with family and enjoying a meal and a football game, is patrolling his little town...”

I am seriously taken aback by all the comments that minimize the alarm that we should all feel as a result of these serious encroachments on our privacy. By way of background not only am I am a prosecutor, but I’ve also recently had an iPhone (along with about $15 worth of change) stolen from my car, which was parked…

Ehh, I find the term useful in exactly the texting scenario you describe, in consciously using it to decide if I’m genuinely friends with a person or not. If my reaction to a given person is, like yours, “YES!!!!!” then it means I do want to be friends with that person and it’s probably a case of equal footing and…
