You’ve done a great job here pointing out a phenomenon known as “point-and-laugh liberalism.” Maybe if the Democrats adopted the a policy of unconditional respect, one that was advocated by... what’s his name.... the old white guy from Vermont, we wouldn’t be staring at this goddamn travesty. These people are…

“It can be hard to put your finger on exactly what you fear most about the rise of Donald Trump: the racism? The sexism? The xenophobia? The profoundly dangerous lack of judgment?”

This fucking loser is an American citizen trying to kill people in the country that took him in, gave him citizenship, and provided him with opportunity. Here’s where everyone comes out to equate America with all the other horrible evils in the world. Yes, America has systemic, terrible problems, and questionable…

Agreed. I mean, “Jackie” is clearly a lying nutjob but precisely because she’s a lying nutjob and a college student, the entirety of the blame for this shit-show lies with Rolling Stone.

Considering people like this to be “irredeemable” and “deplorables” is not a presidential attitude. She has to lead the entire country — not just the parts she likes or respects. She should focus on the beliefs and attitudes that are deplorable, not the people, and try more to understand where this negativity is…

I’m sorta sick of these kinds of movies too, it’s like the only film by/about black people that get much critical / award attention are stories about Slavery and if not Slavery, the civil rights movement. Don’t get me wrong both these things are of the utmost importance and there are some amazing ones. It’s important…

Must be nice to say “no” and have the person actually stop

I don’t know where to go on this one. On the one hand, I agree that there are some topics that, if a group of students is uncomfortable with them, should have alternative methods of learning/grading/assessment.

As others have mentioned throughout the comments, we don’t create divisions of sports based on stride, wingspan, height, etc., we segregate them based on sex. Gender is a nebulous social construct, and as you are obviously aware, even biological sex is not always so neatly binary. I’m on the side of “fuck it, let her…

Cost of Aborting a Fetus - $$$
Cost of Raising a Ward of the State to Adulthood and then possible Incarceration Due to Inadequate Social Support -…

I don’t necessarily disagree with your rationale regarding Twitter maybe starting to take on the traditional functions of a the town square (i.e., a public forum). The SCOTUS case you’re talking about (the name of which I can’t remember) used a multi-factor test to determine whether the character of the entity in…

As a response to critics who say the bannings are an assault on freedom of speech,

Yeah, a ham wallet.

I didn’t know Georgia O’Keefe made wallets now.

Um, excuse me, but Erin Miller is 1/36th Cherokee AND her Irish ancestors who came to America were, like, slaves and so she knows, okay. This isn’t about her. It’s about Jessie Williams spewing racist words against the police, who are now a race and not an occupation.

Yes, also known as “americans.”

If my editors wanted to take me off the UVA story they would...

I had a discussion right here on Jezebel years ago with someone who told me I was being close minded by not “exploring the option” that vaccinations do more harm than good. She really lost me when she went on to say that baby formula still hasn’t been deemed safe and when I told her it has she implored me to provide…

I have a truly honest, non-trolling question.

A large percentage of Americans don’t have the mental capacity to move past the idea that the government is taking their hard-earned money and giving it to lazy people.
