I shoplifted and smoked pot when I was a teenager and I was still considered a good kid. Nobody has ever used the word thug to describe me. Obviously I'm white.

Perfect excuse for moving to Canada!

Remember, you can dismiss that asshole.

From the way the governor was speaking in the days leading up to this, it seem like it was a foregone conclusion that Wilson wouldn't be indicted.

His statement that Wilson "followed training and the law" is really creepy. It's like he's admitting that they train police to shoot unarmed black people.

With Charles Manson and Darren Wilson off the market, what hope does a single gal have to meet Mr. Right?!! FOREVER ALONE.

It did seem to spring up out of nowhere didn't it?

That doesn't surprise me at all.

I love the scene from Second Sons when Sam and Gilly are attacked by the white walker

Same. I'm glad I didn't read the books until after season 1 aired. The wait for TWOW is already hard enough. I can't imagine simultaneously waiting years for both ADWD and the TV show to start.

I am so in. I never thought I'd leave atheism behind and join a religion, but it's worth it.

There's a huge scientology temple in St Paul not far from the capital. It's bigger and fancier than any megachurch I've ever seen. And yet I've spent most of my 34 years in the Twin Cities and have never met a single scientologist. I've never seen anyone go and in or out of the temple either. Who the fuck goes…

That was an impressive little meltdown.

The kids who organized the protest might not run in the same social circles as the rapist, his victims, and the bullies. It's very possible they did not hear about this until it started becoming a news story.

I don't like crafting. Anyone up for a feminist board game group?

They would probably think "acronyms are gay" is the wittiest insult ever.

I just made the same point! I've now chosen to embrace my advanced age and feel perfectly comfortable criticizing teen slang on the basis of grammar and sentence structure.

Setting aside the obvious misogyny for a second, it looks like it was improperly used. "Norman girls are that ho over theres" is a poorly constructed sentence.

That's about what I figured.
