Mitt Romney’s `just trust me’ campaign, explained. →
wilwheaton:
This is now the third area in which Romney has refused to share specifics on the explicit grounds that so doing would be bad politically for him. Romney has repeatedly said he won’t release his tax returns because Democrats will find things in them to attack. And he has vowed to eliminate whole government agencies, but has confirmed that he won’t specify which ones precisely because...

Project Unbreakable: a letter to each of you. →
projectunbreakable:
I’m sure you’ve seen it in the news today. The headlines are everywhere and my Twitter feed is decorated with rants from various people I follow: a man running for senate named Todd Akin used the term “legitimate rape” when asked about abortion legality. He has also used a modifier in the past,…

Interviewer: What was your intent in providing such female characters of strength in a genre that typically reduces women to witches, wives, and/or whores?
George R.R Martin: To be fair I have my fair share of all of those - witches, wives, and whores - but I try to make them fully fleshed out, human, which is wives and whores, and as well to introduce other things. It goes back to what I was saying earlier, about common humanity. It seems strange that I have to say this, it's sort of a weirdly radical statement - women are people. They're driven by the same desires that drive men - desire for respect and power, desire to protect their children, greed for money, for claim, where everybody wants to be loved. It's all common humanity, and I just try to write my female characters as I write my male characters. I do take into account that it's a very patriarchal society so they are limited to certain roles. Some of them fit comfortably within the roles that Westeros's society has assigned them, and some of them do not fit comfortably into those roles, therefore encounter a certain amount of rejection, or tension, or ridicule as they try to pursue their own dreams, or as they frustrate their own dreams. And all this is great, all this is conflict, it's character tension, it's what story is all about, the human heart in conflict with itself.

Two young women, one whining creep, one sexual predator, an indefinite amount of friends and loved ones who put assholes’ egos ahead of the safety of women, and one witty advice columnist.

90percenttea:
“So the Supreme Court re-writes laws now instead of ruling on them? I can’t believe our Supreme Court justices aren’t interested in upholding the constitution anymore, which is supposed to be their very job. Instead, the Supreme Court has a vested interest in trying to make sure Barack Obama gets…

Watchmia-the-wonder-slut:
A little backstory to this clip before you watch it:
Will Smith’s father abandoned him and his mother when he was a child, and when Will was finally getting into show business and making a name for himself, he tried to sneak his way back into his life like nothing happened.
Will co-wrote this episode, and James Avery (Uncle Phil) said “this scene was the hardest thing...
