Researchers allege suspicious Election Day numbers in 3 swing states, urge Clinton to fight
- A group of “prominent computer scientists and election lawyers” are urging Clinton to call for a recount of Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin
- They’re citing unusual discrepancies between counties that used electronic ballots versus other methods.
- The thinly veiled implication is that something abnormal and perhaps sinister occurred with the state’s electronic ballot machine
- But both Nate Silver and The NY Times have cast doubt on the statistical methods

When I say the general term “girls” you best believe that AUTOMATICALLY includes trans girls.

This is not a drill: Netflix is making a movie about Barack Obama as a young person figuring out his place in the world
Newcomer Devon Terrell plays Barry as he moves to New York City and enrolls in Columbia University. His navigation of biracial identity seems to be particularly front and center, and the film is already drawing its share of positive reviews.

holy fuck
sqbr:
the difference between mansplaining and regular explaining or infodumping is what happens after the ‘splainer finds out that you know as much or more than he does about the subject being ‘splained.
mansplainer => gets flustered or annoyed, talks louder, ignores you, or tries to change subject so they can maintain appearance of superiority
regular explainer => acknowledges that you’ve got it and moves on
infodumper => gets happy or excited that you share their interest
This is a valid schema, although it would be far better to have gender-neutral terms for it just to avoid the meaning inevitably devolving into a man doing any of these three things.
Remember: it isn’t mansplaining to assume that you have something interesting to say to someone that they might not know; what matters is how you react once you discover that they already know it.
This is making me feel better about having just “explained” voluntourism to a woman who turned out to have a Masters in International Social Development.
