The lawyers also point out that the practice of selecting a jury that requires “death qualification” cannot be controlled for prejudice.

I mean, they’re probably not wrong. The death penalty sure seems like cruel and unusual punishment to me and to a number of Supreme Court justices over the years, although the official word from on high is that capital punishment is permissible under the 5th Amendment.

This is like one of those torture puzzle things where you scrape your knuckles, break 4 fingers, lose 5 pints of blood, and go insane before finding the delicious prize inside.

That’s a good point on #2. Remember Cindy McCain and her $300,000 outfit at the convention? And this was the height of the recession?

Every picture I’ve ever seen of Ivanka had her dressed to the nines in something ultrasuper tailored and ultrasuper expensive. That was not an accident.

Well, he was chosen from a group of people who really thought that being a surgeon or a failed CEO or businessmen would be good choices for president. He really has no idea what a lateral move really is.

And new bosses *love* it when you say you left your last job quickly because you were sexually harassed.

OMG, how out of touch is this blue collar billionaire (vomit) asshole? Because yes, it’s definitely on the woman to just go find a new career because some man can’t keep it in his pants and feels it’s his place to get wordy/grabby? And careers are so plentiful, it’s super totes easy to just get a new one. And with…

Well, of course we don’t. That’s what dads and husbands are for.

You beat me to it. When I was being harassed—not sexually, just straight up being treated shitty for being fat—at my first job out of college, I quit. I even changed careers. Because I had parents who could support me financially as well as emotionally as I got myself back together and found a new way forward. Because…

Yeah the employment discrimination FEPA/EEO route is not typically the best of remedies.

Ooh, let me just skip on over to the living-wage job tree and pick another. Because we all have a whole fucking job-tree orchard to harvest from.

I was on the fence for many years and I am finally at the age where — although I *could* possibly still have a kid through medical intervention — my biological clock has pretty much stopped ticking. I’m not sure how old you are, but if you’re nearing the point of no return, I’d say do some deep soul searching and talk…

As they say, not making a decision is making a decision. If you are on the fence, don’t.

this. i am sure she’s met a shitton of celebs she doesnt remember either bc shes britney fuckin spears.

It was something. In the head shaving video her eyes are positively gleaming. Only drugs do that.

I tried to post earlier, but it didn’t make it up?

Hi Jez friends! So sorry for my SNS hiatus. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks. With that, here is your Brag Thread! What big or small brags do you have from this week? We want to hear them!

I mean... I have kids (2 girls and one mystery baby currently gestating) and my cat went missing for a few hours on Wednesday and I went full Joyce Byers over it.

I found therapy helped in creating a solid foundation for change and for dealing with change, be it planned/unplanned, good/bad. That then allowed me to get our finances into a good place which helped indirectly with making the food we ate better (no eating out, severely limiting bad food, eating way more veggies and…
