This. These babies are clearly babies. Besides, it shouldn’t matter if they are kids - if your first response to “someone who probably lives in your neighborhood is on property that you don’t even own but just use from time to time” is to pull a gun, you are a menace to society.

This is more what baffled me. He’s a raging racist but people have managed to overlook that for many, many years to purchase wares from other raging racists. It’s more that his stuff is so ugly, and so impractically packaged, and this is coming from am absolute makeup junkie.

I agree with you on the outcomes, and if they had a solid scientific method, this is how I’d feel as well. But reading the methods of the article...they did not really answer the question they set out to answer. This is really more properly about co-authorship than mentorship, and even that their identification of

Yeah, but the flip side of that is if a significant proportion waits until 2024 to see the long-term effects of the vaccine pan out...this may all be for naught, as a certain percentage of people need to be vaccinated in order for us to resume life as we now it.

Death is not the only bad thing that can happen to be people, christ. We’ve been over this.

Bygones be bygones? The only reason that Prince Charles and Camilla have what they have now is because a thousand or so years ago Charles’ ancestors conquered and consolidated lands under their rule and managed to hold onto it. Their entire existence literally relies on centuries of history. If they can benefit wildly 

I don’t think it’s that people are taking the show “so seriously,” I think it’s that they watched the show and then went to go see how much of it was real and was horrified.

It only appears ironic if you don’t understand what colonialism means. Commenting on another country’s political structure and government (which is fucking normal) is not even close to colonialism.

Oh fucking spare us. We’re talking about the United Kingdom’s monarchy, one that enslaved, exploited, and colonized people all over the globe for centuries. Commenting that the idea that one family (one very white, privileged, cloistered family) alone is divinely empowered to sit on high and pass judgment on the rest

Even better, Raffensberger just ruled that the recount in GA won’t even affect the official results! If they find serious discrepancies in the counts, they’ll rerun the machine counts in the counties with the discrepancies and that is what will be added to the total. Some quirk of law in GA.

1) being gay isn’t a kink, so
2) calling someone gay is not kink-shaming, and
3) saying something is “just a joke” does not stop it from being offensive. also
4) wtf kind of logic is it that it’s OK to call a homophobic person gay? thus
5) implying that Lindsey Graham is gay (or effeminate) because he does some unsavory

I support the truth of your statement - but the other thing you can do is recognize that this is an unintentionally racist set of assumptions and work to overcome them, both in your own brain and in the brains of your white friends. You’re no longer naive; you’ve seen enough videos and photos of racist violence and

DOs and MDs learn the same things in school and go through the same licensing procedures. DOs do learn spinal manipulation techniques but few of them use it. They are certainly "real doctors", and it's possible you have had one and didn't notice.

Reporting someone for having a firearm because you are afraid for their safety is different from threatening to expel a child because he has a BB gun in his home. The article is about the latter, so your comment is irrelevant.

I mean, you could say the same thing about literally any influencer or celebrity. Why get attached to people who play a game or sing real good? Because that's what humans do. We're social creatures.

Anthony Kennedy stepped down from the Court in 2018. He was replaced by Brett Kavanaugh.

We actually don’t know if 50% of homicides in the U.S. are committed by black people.

Really? An article comes out about the deep, systemically embedded racism already in your state and your response is to be salty because someone pointed out that years of history show us they likely won’t do anything? The article is specifically about the massive injustice that already exists in the Massachusetts

I’m having a hard time understanding what your argument is. I have a PhD in social psychology and I used to study related areas, and I regularly rage about science writers distorting the findings in a study, but Michael Harriot does not do that here (other than the regular hyperbole he employs in his writing, which is

It is to white people.
