On Friday, NPR had on the acting head of whatever FEMA falls under. She was positive that the Governor had the situation under control. She was very adamant about stressing how the State of Texas was responsible and not the Feds.

I’m a long time lurker who lives about 30 miles south of downtown. This is worse than Ike and Allison. I’m trying to stay calm for my child but we have a long road to go before the water recedes. They’re evacuating hospitals in our med center and had helicopter rescues in my old neighborhood. I’m in a safe location…

Seriously, I can’t believe that someone didn’t mention the title might not be best idea. Signed, Whitest White Lady who totally agrees with you.

Yup, I have less than no sympathy for any Kardashians. They ALL engineered this existence. I find their whining about it outrageous and beyond contemptible, actually.

Running out of books was the show’s downfall. The showrunners and writers aren’t particularly creative or even artistic, so we’re getting this expensive, well-produced dreck. When the spoilers for the season came out I read them all and went “eh, okay, better to know it now than find out as the show airs and get angry…

They’re just not the best actors. Emilia Clarke is a delight but can’t act her way out of a paper bag. Harington is marginally better.

Also, “he’s jumped straight to open relationship, which he feels will take pressure off of me” feels like some pretty rank gaslighting. Sounds like in about a year MVP is going to realize that her wonderful boyfriend was kiiiiiiiiiiiiind of a massive asshat.

NO

The one good option? Would have been for the moderators to do their job, and let him know that he was encroaching uncomfortably on her space. I have never seen this mentioned. It always seems to be on the victim to somehow resolve the situation....

It makes me really sad to see pictures and video of HRC from the campaign.

“Maybe I have overlearned the lesson of staying calm, biting my tongue, digging my fingernails into a clenched fist, smiling all the while, determined to present a composed face to the world.”

We’ve all been there. You either put up with slimy creep making you feel uncomfortable and hate yourself for tolerating his bullshit later. Or, you make a scene and have everyone tell you to lighten up because having the rampant sexism in our society pointed out makes people uncomfortable. It isn’t polite to demand to…

Thundercatsarego is offering the absolute wisest and best advice on the entire thread, Not Hot For Teacher; I hope you read and follow it.

I’ve been working at universities for the last 12 years and take it from me, the student does not have any sort of advantageous position here. I have seen this situation crop up more than a few times (I can think of at least a dozen off the top of my head) where the professor makes unwanted advances on a student (or…

“Failed Actress Fucks, Marries Rich Asshole” isn’t exactly an earth-shaking headline, is it?

For someone who married into wealth and US citizenship, she’s awfully clear about how much she personally sacrifices for the country. I thought people didn’t get automatic visas and citizenship from marriage anymore. Silly me, that must be for poor folks.
