OMG what if you did the right thing and then someone got mad at you. It might be like all of life.

And actually what we saw with Trump was a judge explicitly denying his request to harass poll workers. It doesn’t happen. No one is arresting poll workers for four minute infractions. This poll worker devastated this one…

Doing the right thing is hard. It would have been hard for you to take some responsibility for the consequences of your actions and actually do the right thing in the face of your fear of authority. Instead of stepping up and making the world better, you stepped down, said it’s not your fault, and made it worse.

If…

Also, I don’t understand why EARLY VOTING close times matter at all.

I respect your commitment to following rules, but I don’t think that letting one person vote a few minutes after the deadline has passed will shatter the bedrock of our democracy. A completely arbitrary deadline or obstacle that effectively disenfranchises a citizen from voting is the greater evil. IMO.

I always look forward to the conservative conniption fit every time a prominent black entertainer endorses a Democrat.

Fwiw I agree with you. Most of government when you boil it down are bureaucracies. And I’m not using that word disparagingly like republicans/libertarians. Instead of being in favor of getting rid of them they do need to be examined for structural and internal problems.

You had plenty of time to make your snobby and ill-informed remarks about TIFF and other topics, and yet no time to “bother” responding when folks who actually know about the subjects at hand correct you. How convenient.

He ain’t that old.

yeah, I zoned in on that as soon as I read it. Unusual word choice.

With you. I scrolled back up to make sure I had not been confused in my understanding that this was an adult woman. Nope.

If he’s supporting Evan McMullin and John Kasich, I think there’s a good possibility he’s a Christian conservative.

Most of the Rogue One promo art has been meh to bad. I wonder if Disney has their b-team doing the marketing on this one?

If guys don’t want to rape, they shouldn’t drink.

“He’s an idiot”

a) no one cares how long you’ve been saying anything, no one has been, or will be listening

Hating NDT is all the rage on twitter, probably because hes popular. Nevermind the fact that the US, of all fucking countries, desperately needs people that popularize and advocate science while making it accessible.

Last night was such a bittersweet for my family. This is what I posted last night.

Just before the final out, my 95 year old grampa, veteran of two wars, cancer survivor, and long-suffering cubs fan, pulled me aside and, with a tear forming in his steel grey eyes, said, “The blacks ruined this neighborhood and your sister dresses like a whore.” This was for him.

I’ve been here for years, and am fully capable of recognizing how many of these wounds were completely self-inflicted. I find Thiel’s victory troubling from a freedom of the press standpoint but Gawker’s petty childish bullshit enabled it to happen, and honestly I’m almost madder at them. They created the perfect test…

There’s hundreds of thousands more of those stories, and most of the time when black folks open up and tell them, white racism deniers look for an escape clause, eager to silence, shame and vilify. I’m white, so I can’t imagine what it must be like to be targeted like that. I also can’t imagine how difficult it must…
