The Cinnabon thing also makes me sad. Not cause she got fired, but because, apparently, outing someone as a racist nets them money, these days.
You should be embarrassed for writing this dreck. It’s not up to you to decide how much antiblackness Cinnabon customers should be forced to endure because you feel sorry for some dumb white broad who couldn’t keep her racist opinions to herself. Shame on you.
Stay in your lane.

I wrote about why we should not celebrate someone losing their job, especially in today’s America, even when they’ve done terrible racist things.
Losing a job should also be harder and involve workers’ bodies not unilateral management decisions.

Scalia was always quite open about the fact that the 14th never applied to women. It didn't even apply to men of other races until Korematsu.
A strict originalist take of the 14th pretty obviously won't apply to women or any man other than freed slaves.
Would they try it? Probably not. Yet.

Anyone else tired of trying to imagine Obama doing the most disturbing shit you've heard this week?

I don't like these articles using "claim" and "allege." Epstein was not, I assure you, writing those emails with a plan to release them. He was talking to a co-conspirator, in this case, and the information was accepted as a given by both parties. They acknowledge, they do not claim.
The emails raise questions about President Trump’s knowledge and involvement with Jeffrey Epstein.

Gendering things that don't need genders. I include the English language in that. It's stupid and bad. Stop.

Ew ew ew just for an ad for one of those AI assistants in which a woman asks it to write a haiku about her cat.
You can’t write a 3 line, 17 syllable poem about your cat?????
What is being alive for if not writing tiny little poems about your cat??!!
Add this to my joker file. Good lord.

Where did all these bisexual come from? Is there an epidemic of bisexualism? Is this also because of Tylenol during pregnancy?

I obviously don't understand the term "charismatic leader" because every time I've heard one of them speak, they remind me of trying to swallow soggy bread. It's a visceral, physical reaction. I've yet to manage listening to more than 20-30 seconds of any speech.

Here an idea, let's run candidates who only want to take bodily autonomy away from Jews. Is that cool, Ezra? Is that a compromise you're willing to make? Or is it only my bodily autonomy you think of as a bargaining chip?
I genuinely cannot believe that Ezra Klein said we should run pro-life candidates in Kansas, Ohio, and Missouri; three states that recently held abortion referendums where the pro-choice side won!

There are videos online of the shooting. It does appear to be at least one shot to the upper chest/neck area, and there's a lot of blood. I wouldn't recommend looking for the videos if you're not sure you want to see that. It doesn't look good, and I'm not sure how he survives.
