Why Time’s Millennials Cover Story Says More About Joel Stein Than It Does About Millennials

I wrote about professional shit-stirrer Joel Stein’s Time cover story. 

A+ work, honestly.

Guys, never shop at Best Buy. Ever.

My dear stripedteacups suggested that I rant about the fact that Best Buy recently stole my goddamn money, in order to get it out of my system. I just wrote a complaint to the Better Business Bureau, so I’m pasting it under the cut. If it’s tl;dr, the basic points are:

• incompetent salesperson telling me something was in stock at another location when it wasn’t, and having me pay for it in advance
• being told I couldn’t receive a refund for out-of-stock item in person but definitely would get it in a few days
• never getting the refund, Best Buy shirking responsibility, filing a claim with my bank
• receiving a denial of my claim nearly three months later because Best Buy conjured up a refund receipt and claims it was in cash so my word against theirs and GO TO HELL, YOU LYING CROOKS

Or, read on for the full story.

Shh… don’t tell Fox News they’re using a photo of a lesbian couple for an article about traditional gender marriage roles.

California judge on rape: If someone doesn't want sexual intercourse, the body "will not permit that to happen." →

jessicavalenti:

GOOD LORD. PEOPLE. RAPE, BY DEFINITION, IS FORCED SEXUAL INTERCOURSE. IF THE BODY COULD PREVENT FORCED SEXUAL INTERCOURSE, THERE WOULD BE NO SUCH THING AS RAPE. YOU WOULD OPEN THE DICTIONARY TO THE PAGE WHERE ‘RAPE’ SHOULD APPEAR AND IT WOULDN’T BE THERE. OH, BUT WAIT, IT IS THERE AND IT DOES EXIST. ARGUMENT INVALID, DUE TO ITS OWN STUPIDITY.

Romney literally stays silent when asked about climate change. This is really awkward…

What’s more priceless: Romney’s stupid, smug, blank expression or his supporters responding to a prescient question with a meaningless chant? Sorry, did I say priceless? I meant depressing.

Romney Campaign Chair Says Colin Powell Only Endorsed Obama Because He Is Black [VIDEO]

John Sununu is the textbook definition of putz.

motherjones:

INTERVIEWER: I’m going to ask something I think a lot of people want to know, or at least I do. What is it like for you to hear the President of the United States call your dad a liar. How do you react to that?

TAGG ROMNEY: Jump out of your seat and you want to rush down to the debate stage and take a swing at him. But you know you can’t do that because… Well, first there is a lot of Secret Service between you and him but also because this is the nature of the process.

No respect for the office of the presidency, just like his father.

Do you think that if Mitt loses, they’ll all just fall down on the stage and pound it with their fists, in lieu of a concession speech?

Conservative Media Attack Debate Question On Pay Equity As "Feminazi" Lie, Call Questioner "Tool" →

annie-banks:

Conservative media figures attacked debate questioner Katherine Fenton as a “feminazi” and “tool” for asking the candidates about their views on pay inequity.

Fenton asked, “In what new ways do you intend to rectify inequalities in the workplace? Specifically regarding females making only 72 percent of what their male counterparts earn.”

Conservative author Matthew Vadum attacked the premise of the question as a “feminazi leftist lie.”

Jim Geraghty of National Review wrote: “Oh bulls*** Katherine Fenton is an uncommitted voter.”

Michelle Malkin complained that the question was a “softball” and described the questioner as a “ladyparts tool.”

Fox’s Greg Gutfeld insinuated that the questioner was a plant, and described the question as a “‘Sandra Fluke’ intermission.” He later added, “I haven’t seen a man grovel before women since The Bachelorette.”

Salon contacted Fenton for comment:

Despite asking a question that raised the hackles of the anti-feminist brigade, Fenton was vehement when I asked her if she’s a feminist. “Absolutely not,” she said. “I’m a 24-year-old woman that lives in the United States and feels like I should be treated the same as anyone else. That makes me a normal human being.”

I asked her to clarify how she defined feminism, given that she’d told me she was passionate about “women’s equality in the workforce” and had said, “I’m very protective of my reproductive rights.” Fenton said, “I’m not only concerned with women.”

She might identify with feminism more after these assholes have their say.

This is all you need to know about Mitt Romney.

My jaw dropped so violently when he said this that it popped.

WAIT. I missed everything. Was this a real thing that a candidate for the highest office in the country actually said, in 2012?

Well, they needn’t bother if there isn’t a dad there, since that means their kids are out shooting up theaters and whatnot.
