Cat Comes to University Every Day So She Can Rescue Students with Cuddles

For years, the University of Augsburg in Bavaria, southern Germany, has played host to a very special visitor: a little ginger cat whose only mission is to give students soothing snuggles. She started popping on to campus when she was one year old, realised she liked hanging around with students, and has been paying the university a visit every day since then. Her owner lives just nearby and has no issue with the cat spending her days helping out the students, who call the cat Sammy or The Campus Cat. Sammy now knows many of the students, and will always run to them to sit on their lap and cuddle up. During each daily trip to the campus, Sammy enjoys lounging outside in the sun. But her favourite spot in the library, where she can check in on stressed out students revising for exams and offer support.

Arkansas legislator arrested for observing police

Civil rights attorney John Walker says he has been bearing witness to the unfair treatment of African-Americans by police since the 1960s. But on Sept. 26, Walker’s decision to watch an arrest in progress in Little Rock, Arkansas, didn’t just annoy the on-scene officers — it got him, and an attorney from his law firm, arrested. The worst part: It was deja vu.

Both CNN and MSNBC aired Michelle Obama’s full speech, but apparently it was too true for Fox News.

My mom went to find an opera actor my brother saw once, and planned a date. And when I mean brother, I mean best friend that we could have adopted.

She just tracked that guy down through her connexions in the opera business. Damn love you mom.

When my mom’s out in public, she sends me pictures of lesbians she sees.

Well fellas? Is it worth it?

Well... you hate dating nerds? All the same? I’m a nerd, and am offended. Not because “bouhou male tears” or “bouhou nerd tears”. But because this statement puts 100% of nerds in one basket. The one where being a “nerd” is an insult. Goddamit being a nerd is the best thing in me. Doesn’t make me a bloody asshole. I say “me”, but I know I refer to many, many people. 

You don’t need to be a nerd, just be - quoting whale - a desperate and unpleasant person.

Jog on to all desperate and unpleasant people.

i fucking hate dating nerds one single time i wore a star wars shirt to see a dude and he was like, “wow are u wearing that to impress me” and i said, “star wars episode 4 was seen by approximately 110 million people during its initial theatrical run in 1977”

hillary literally defended someone that raped a child, A CHILD. that is a bad person, jfc.

You’re referring, I assume, to the subject of this meme:

This is literally a very short google search anon w t f 

http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/article/2014/jul/17/did-hillary-clinton-ask-be-relieved-rapist/ –> READ THIS BUT FIRST:

tldr;(A) She was appointed as her client’s attorney by the court system; she did not volunteer for the case.(B) She asked to be removed from the case because she was grossed out by it, but the judge denied her request.© She didn’t “free” her client; she negotiated a plea deal for jail time, LIKE EVERY DEFENSE ATTORNEY IS LEGALLY REQUIRED TO DO.(D) If she did not zealously advocate for her client, or purposely tanked the case, she would have faced disbarment from the legal profession. (SHE WOULD HAVE LOST HER JOB)(E) In the 1980 audio interview, she talked about how her client somehow passed the polygraph that she’d hoped would have helped prove his guilt, and then laughed while saying that since then she never trusts polygraphs, ever.(F) Even the picture used is not the actual victim, and you can be damned well sure they used a tearful angelic blonde little white girl to drive the hate.

but tldr; yes she defended a child rapist , no she didn’t really have a choice despite finding the case disgusting, because as a civil attorney YOU LEGALLY STILL HAVE TO REPRESENT THEM NO MATTER HOW ICK IT IS (this is what LAWYERS DO, they have NO CHOICE). She was essentially forced into it by her firm, and she made the guy take a polygraph test hoping that would prove him guilty. But when it didn’t prove him quilty (since he passed the polygraph ) she said she forever lost her faith in those tests. 

Also, just FYI, in case you’re looking for a law degree, please know that this is STILL required of attorneys today. If you request to get removed from a case because you don’t like it and the court keeps you on you are legally bound to do so irrespective of how you feel about it.

No one is saying that every it of what that man did isn’t super horrible or gross. 

But …

being legally bound to defend a rapist ≠ being an advocate for rape. 

Also – bit of history for ya– despite this one gross case (among other civil cases no doubt) the Rose Law Firm she working for was known for actively taking cases for and defending groups like The Black Panthers. #tbt
