Note to conservative teenagers: if Peter Thiel starts talking about how the GOP needs young blood, get the hell out of there.
Is this going to get like some horror movie chain letter? If you don’t bail out the next guy to smash the star, Mangoman will rise from between the cracked pieces and get you?
Yeah, I don’t really get how Grimes has become such an indie darling. She was a rich girl with extremely well connected parents and attended McGill for five years without completing her degree. Her DIY edginess is a total scam.
I’m not liking how carrying naloxone is being reported like it’s a bad thing. If you or your friends are at risk of overdosing (or just at all likely to be using heroin/opiates), then carrying naloxone and knowing how to use it is a great idea. I sometimes work at a clinic that provides drug users with free…
Evangelicals are still in Trump’s corner...so long as he reinstates their tax exemption loophole that was “accidentally” gutted in the GOP’s latest tax bill.
Well, he had one redeeming characteristic, anyway - he could keep her from having to go back to Slovenia.
Oh, no doubt. She’d pegged it for a regular ordinary golddigger gig, where she could just go shopping and say that she’s a model and occasionally give a pithy one-line quote to Vogue magazine and live the easy life without anybody digging into her nasty details. Instead, she gets the 24/7 spotlight & the 24/7 microsco…
Came here to say this. His “apology” even had racist shit in it.
There is solid evidence that people who vote conservative/Republican tend to have a stronger fear response, and tend to make decisions based on that response. It’s crazy to see this guy state it so boldly, though, since Republicans generally loathe being seen as weak or afraid of anything. I’m with you, that anyone…
Its funny how people who actually build everything in their life with blood sweat and struggle are the first ones to thank every single person and incident that helped them even a little bit to meet their goal. Only people with entitlement and privilege are first ones to boast about being “self made”...groan
I’ve been working since I was 12/13. My first job was taking care of my neighbor’s enormous dogs, which included scrapping their shit off the frozen pavement of their outdoor kennels in the dead of winter. I haven’t stopped working since. I worked as a lifeguard through high school, I got into a top tier university, wo…
How refreshing would it be to hear one of these “self-made” people say “Fuck yeah, I leveraged every contact I could and turned to my parent(s) (who supported me before I could do it myself) for help. Now I am on my own and don’t need their help, but I could not have possibly done it without their opening a few doors…
It’s funny, because Barbara Lee, despite her genuine commitment to progressive ideals, is widely known to be one of the worst people to work for in Congress - she’s truly cruel to staff. I think at one point she had higher staff turnover than anyone except for Anthony Weiner and Sheila Jackson Lee, both of whom were…
This is really good, but as a Gen X woman, rest assured that many women and girls were never as comfortable watching the sex romp movies as the culture would suggest. Women who drank were asking for it, Women in sororities were asking for it, Women in public were asking for it, Every Woman was asking for it, and…
I think it’s millenials waking up to the fact that hero culture where we believe a person (usually a guy) is someone who is genuinely a good person because they sound charismatic. Almost all of the people I admired is an older millennial to one degree or another have proven to be terrible people. This isn’t an excuse…
his haircut is a fucking Superfund site
Oh, it’s actually a lot worse than that.
we have a similar type in Indian culture too. right-wing Hindutva dudes who hate women, gays, Muslims, lower castes, Dalits. pretty much anybody who doesn’t fit their right-wing upper caste Hindu-centric ideology of the perfect Indian Hindu. but we don’t have a term like Hotep to describe those losers.
