Yeah, I hate that the legitimate concerns get mixed up in hysteria over scary-sounding claims about substances.

Ehh, this was more on the side of poor deputy training then gun violence. Normally, I’d agree with you, but this was entirely preventable.

Any food that has has any human touching it at one point or another has a chance to contain *eerie music* traces of human dna.

Same with the evil horror of fecal matter. Anything that was not grown, processed and kept in a complete sterile environment, can contain fecal matter.

Just like “toxins”, “chemicals” and other…

Yes delayed. There’s no due process for terrorism watch lists. If you can be denied a right because some faceless bureaucrat put you on a secret list, it isn’t much of a right.

Honestly, that’s probably fair. The terrorist watch list isn’t a list compiled by a court after a fair hearing and judgment by a jury of one’s peers. It’s just a list, maintained by some guys, with absolute discretion and little oversight. You could be on there right now and you wouldn’t know it until you tried to…

Here’s a link to Dr. Hern’s clinic for anyone interested in offering support directly to the people who work there, and here’s the National Network of Abortion Funds. The George Tiller Memorial Fund specifically goes to late abortions.

Methinks the point has flown right over your wee head.

fuck off

I bake “not a rapist” cookies every week and hand them out at the frat houses!! I think it’s a real deterrent! Boy does it suck to be the guy who doesn’t get his cookie that day. He will almost definitely try harder to earn one the following week. And I reward improvement too. Like I have a stash of “almost not a…

Ok, who is going to tell Pete Sessions that there are people who are both gay and latino?

i can imagine there are a lot of fun die right wingers right now who are really unsure if they hate Muslims or gays more. What a pickle! One things for sure though - this will be exploited to the max by the GOP and the Donald and I’m already terrified of the vile rhetoric towards Muslims that is bound to follow. Oh…

Unfortunately, biphobia is alive and well still...

I’m not even aware of any other American actress or actor who’s openly bisexual. Jodie Foster and Ellen Page came out as gay, but bisexuals? I can’t name any. Certainly no A-listers or up and coming B-listers. From what I recall, Heard received a lot of flak for her “ambiguous” sexual orientation even when she married…

I wonder to what extent the fact that she is bisexual plays a role in people’s disbelief. Like how in the whole ‘bisexuality isn’t a real thing’ narrative, guys who are bi are really just half-out gays and girls who are bi are just saying it to get attention from guys. I’ve seen comments on Facebook saying pretty much…

Buzzfeed has a surprisingly good article on how the media handles these celebrity abuse cases. It usually amounts to “they’re both crazy”.

Oh, so victims are never allowed to party or wear fishnet stockings for the rest of their lives. Makes sense.

I cannot even express in words how angry these stories make me. Not just the ‘Honour killing’ horror, but the DUPLICITY! It’s so calculated it terrifies me. I can’t believe that in a world as (comparatively) progressive and enlightened as ours, this shit is STILL happening. That poor woman! I can’t imagine how she…

The report’s a little old, but according to the BoJ, about 16% of murder victims are killed by their families, and 45% of that 16% is female :http://www.bjs.gov/content/pub/pd…So 7.2% of murders are women killed by their families. We get about 15,000 murders a year, plus or minus a thousand or so depending on the…

Yeah, this is sensationalist bullshit. I mean, the actual process is cool. But the fact that Jezebel feels the need to propagate the “THREE PERSON BABY” thing is just irresponsible.

This makes a three-parent kid as much as a kidney transplant recipient is a two-person person. Like…sure, I guess there’s bits from that many people in there, but for real that is not what’s going on.
