His reply was absolutely stunning, I have a hard time believing he was sincere.

Very well said.

The Morgan bit is weird too for a number of reasons. 1) She didn’t claim sexual harassment or assault, just obnoxious pestering after a TV show appearance. 2) It didn’t fit part of any pattern like the subsequent sexual assault allegations did. 3) Sure her claims got play in the RW fever swamps, but for once…

“if she’d have announced her accusations on Twitter” here you fucking dumbass I reached all the way back in time to 2 fucking weeks ago to see how that might’ve played out http://fox61.com/2017/11/17/blumenthals-office-investigating-twitter-bot-claiming-sexual-assault/

The people who seem like full adults to you are also making it up as they go along, occasionally wracked with doubt, and feel like they don’t measure up to their forebears. We’re all frauds in our own minds.

“Fear” is jaw-dropping.

That’s a remarkable concluding paragraph.

ICE is garbage, and so is anyone working for it. They are American stormtroopers and serve no useful purpose.

Of all the shit in 2017 for people to be embarrassed about, this one is just about at the bottom of the list.

I think this is one of those issues where people really do get more conservative/reactionary when they get older. And speaking as an older het guy I’ll also also confess to an increasing amount of unreasoning, reflexive hostility towards attractive young men as I age. Might be a similar dynamic in play on your side.

I’m so sorry to hear that. The threads on these stories always seem to include at least a handful of “here’s how my assault contradicts your ‘it’s on women’ solution and FYI this is another reason I remain silent” responses.

Counterpoint: the Golden Girls

Journalism should’ve ceased entirely after that headline, it’s been all downhill since.

I’m not a big Chait fan but this absolutely slayed me:

That’s a terrible present, a Polish calendar gets the national holidays all wrong!

I’m in the target demo for this item and these pictures just make me think “put on an apron or take a few steps back please.”

“Burn your anonymous sources that lie to you” is a good policy, wish they had it in place for Dick Cheney et al in the run-up to the Iraq war and not just for O’Keefe level ratfucking.

I’m not exactly opposed to them - my wife gets me an SI-type calendar every Christmas to hang above our toilet - but I wonder what kind of stunted social skills this guy had to invite a woman he wanted to impress to his mancottage for the weekend and not think, maybe I could take these down while she’s here.

From last year, but Last Needle by Ben Smith is a good “fuck you, we’re breaking up” Christmas song. https://bensmithsongs.bandcamp.com/track/last-needle

“The tool for that power is intimacy and intercourse - used like a shiv and a sledgehammer respectively.”
