Quote of the Day:

“It’s my job to look into this hell box every day and try to make sense of what’s going on. If it’s not your job, you are so lucky! Take advantage of your freedom!!! Log off! Breathe the fall air! Call your mom!!!”

Opposing opinions on white male privilege 

KIRSTEN POWERS (CNN political analyst): “Has anyone else noticed how refusing to just take the word of a man and asking for a fair investigation has been cast as a scurrilous attack on a good man’s reputation? This is what male privilege looks like.”

ERICK ERICKSON (The Resurgent): “I was going to bite my tongue, but… I spent 5 years doing indigent criminal defense. A lot of young black men are falsely accused of crime on a daily basis and it is not white privilege to suggest we presume all men (and women) innocent and put the burden of proof on the accuser.”

Whoopi Goldberg (from an old episode of The View): “I don’t believe it was ‘rape’ rape.”

Here’s a plug for Stormy Daniel’s memoir

Journo has weird experience with ‘goddamn’  handyman 

“So I used @Handy AGAIN and the guy is an hour and a half late so I canceled the appointment (my time is valuable), and now the guy won’t stop calling me and is ‘coming anyway.’ I don’t have time for this. I honestly only need s/o to help me do basic shit around my apartment with like a staple gun and hanging blinds because this is the 2nd time I’ve been burned by a goddamn @handy. Deleting the app IMMEDIATELY omg.”

— Akilah Hughes, blogger, comedian, contributor, CrookedMedia.
