You know what is missing in this story? The fact that people still call the police. Never, ever, ever, call the police. You and your loved ones are in danger of being killed or jailed just for assuming that you, if you are black or brown, can use the armed State militia to help you. You can’t. You call and YOU are…

I hope that this is not just a nail in the coffin of Katie Roiphe’s ill-gotten career, but serves as a cautionary tale for bad actors who threaten others’ safety for professional gain, and more broadly drives a stake in this tired ‘contrarian feminism’ designed to elicit outrage that’s championed by Camille Paglia,…

So they forced her to dox herself, which sucks, but on the bright side the time and impact of their article is wasted. And I know it’s a list for Shitty Men in Media but can Katie Roiphe get an honorary place on it for being an enemy to other women in the media?

We have a few boxes from your manifesto ticked in Canada.

I’ll go one further: zero private money for campaigns (whether from donors, from the candidates themselves, from PACs, from corporations, from unions, etc...).

They need to be looking towards young, progressive candidates to make people WANT to vote. Which means the Democratic candidate will probably be Joe Biden or some such shit.

What a ridiculous person. Yeah poor Franken who has reporters at his beck and call wasn’t able to speak for himself? What horse shit. He’s not our savior and there are worthy people to replace him. Get the fuck over it already and focus on new leadership. It’s like a fetish for some people to prop up semi progressive…

Campaign donation limits = the solution to rich idiots having WAY too much power and influence.

Maybe we should talk about how there’s a twitter account dedicated to posting people’s mugshots in a public place. Fuck that’s racist.

Why is everything about strength? This maddens me. It’s like no other personality trait exists.

It's like they can't land on the decent, non-shitty opinion on anything. Not even by accident. How is this possible?

It seems as though Judge Persky places WAY too much emphasis on what the probation officer recommends. We already know that Brock Turner lied to the probation officer about not doing drugs or drinking previously and Persky had that information when he sentenced him yet still went with the ultra-light sentence.

This seems to me like typical California. People complain about prison overcrowding, but CA has completely swung in the direction of just rarely punishing people. Most crimes the restitution is never paid, the time served is laughable, and the crime gets reduced to misdemeanor and expunged after a few years. And…

bad judge or simply a bad person?

Thank you for picking up on this.

I don’t think it betrays “public defender principles” given that the defendants who are getting these relative free passes are exactly the opposite types of defendants who need public defenders. I don’t think it’s incompatible to wish for judicial sympathy for poor, non-violent drug offenders, for example and harsher…

It is by far the biggest thing in Waco— economic power, cultural, religious you name it. The PD absolutely will protect it and so will most residents. As long as revenue sports make money (or appear to ) and get the donors pumping in money and students enrolled ? They have absolutely no incentive to change things or…

Agreed. To me that is by far the most disturbing aspect, though not really surprising. Waco’s not that big, I imagine Baylor owns it.

Yea but also fuck everyone who gives a shit and live your life. I’m sure she will not hurt for opportunity because she is a human being enjoying things.

I love that she passed on all the official stuff last week to be go be a normal kid. Even though she skipped Radiohead to see Major Lazer which is the wrong decision. Or I’m old and Radiohead is now a mom band.
