He doesn’t want to win. He just doesn’t. He never thought he’d get the nomination, nobody did, it was just a ploy to get some free publicity, which is what he really lives for. But now that there is a chance he could win, he’s panicking because he knows he can’t govern. He doesn’t want to actually sit down and set…

“I will be meeting with the NRA, who has endorsed me, about not allowing people on the terrorist watch list, or the no fly list, to buy guns.”

Don’t you mean “Birthday Boy” Donald Trump?

The staccato couplets in Manic Depression are as brilliantly sung as anything done in the last generation.

That was also my main takeaway from this.

Funnily enough, the current Reddit Consensus (tm) about Pao is that she was basically the fall-guy (gal?) CEO. They bring her in, she makes a whole bunch of changes, user shit-storm happens, they fire her, bring back the old CEO, users rejoice, and in their giddy joy, they conveniently fail to notice that the new…

From someone who knows, because this is what I do:

I keep thinking, if you don’t understand why this is important, you’ve never been one of two women in your PhD class of 15. Or one of three women in your cohort at work. Or though, maybe I’d want to do this in my career, and then remembered that 90% of people in that position are men. I cried the whole train ride home…

Best piece you’ve written in a while

The baby could very well be biracial. We come in all shades and hair textures. :)

I hope she uses her writing skills to keep speaking out against him and rape culture. Her voice is compelling, and even if this judge couldn’t bother to listen, others will.

Some Americans like to do their own re-badging.

You can police every aspect of your speech, you can wear the right things, you can get all the degrees and expertise, you can write the most fucking eloquent and heartbreaking courtroom statement and still there are men who will not hear you because they just don’t listen to women.

Pretty much my reaction too

I fucking *hate* facebook. A guy once got mad at me, so he decided to search my family’s fb pages until he found a pic of me, then posted it along with a completely bullshit story he freaking made up to get other ppl mad at me, and *my address*. He told his friends to find me and harass me. I created a fake fb page…

Fucking bullshit facebook. Get your shit together.

To be fair, there are a lot of feminists (especially from the previous wave) that would agree with him. So, calling what he is saying ‘awful’ probably isn’t fair. I don’t agree with what he’s saying, but that doesn’t make it awful. Awful is what Republicans do when they open their pieholes and pontificate about sex…

Yep. The bulldozed a 5,000 seat, brand new velodrome to make way for a 5,000 seat, brand new velodrome. Because #Olympics.

They’re all children. They all need help after this.
