They should at least have their GED.

I’m 28 and remember it the same way I remember the OJ trial - very hazily and confused about who was the good guy and who was the bad guy in the situation. What’s interesting for me is looking for these pop culture memory cut offs. The attack happened in ‘94 so makes sense that you would have been just this side of…

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. I am now :(

Why thank you! I just learned who Jaime Alexander is yesterday and think she could be good, too. Based solely on looks, I have no idea about her acting skillz.

Casting my vote for Abbi Jacobson as Monica. There’s a physical resemblance and I bet she could act the hell out of a dramatic role. Hillary: Sarah Paulson, natch. As for Bill my first thought is Darrell Hammond but any number of white male actors will do.

Good point. I think Noble Renard’s overall conclusion still stands - without looking too deeply at the original source the black and white inmate populations per table 22 appear to have almost equalized (in raw numbers, not percent of total US population) by 2013. I’m awful at stats but I believe that would make the…

Those are incredibly interesting statistics, thank you for finding/sharing.

A lot of states have laws requiring electoral college members to sign a pledge to promise to vote for their party’s candidate, with stipulations that breaking said pledge incurs penalties. Pledge laws have been challenged in the Supreme Court, but ultimately held up on the grounds that states can require electors to…

Also, he had a point. Single Ladies did deserve best video. Though I agree he was a jackass, especially since this is the moment that made Taylor famous (thanks Kanye)/ smh

Hijabs are not burqas fyi. Many women embrace the hijab on feminist grounds. Not saying she is necessarily representative, but the one woman in this article who has worn the niqab says, “Regarding the niqab ...I don’t like it, but that’s just my opinion. Firstly, because it isn’t an obligation to cover your face in…

If one can be bullied into wearing a burqa, maybe they can be bullied out of it?

Thanks for proving my point. We’re not talking about something you wear “sometimes” “to hide [your] face.” We’re talking about something you wear all the time (outside) that hides your whole body. Individual anonymity is one thing. Burqas have the effect of rendering an entire gender invisible. Ftr still not for the…

I agree, and I question Merkel’s reasoning and timing for this proposed ban. At the same time, however, I wonder how many women actually *want* to wear a burqa or niqab. These aren’t simple veils/headscarves, they are full body coverings that restrict movement, vision and self-expression. In countries where they are…

Someone mentioned downthread that she is short of her fundraising goal. People complain about her moving the goalposts, but there really is no telling how much this will run her/the American people, especially with Discount Hitler (ha!) determined to make it as hard as possible.

Can’t it be both?

The lawsuits probably won’t succeed, but they will deplete Stein’s coffers, which I suspect is the goal.

Papa is what we called my (step) grandfather. So, agreed.

Maybe it’s not a good thing to go around assuming what Jews do and don’t look like.

I’m trolling you ;)
