Even for someone who has been researching and writing about misogyny for over a decade, it is hard to comprehend the level of obsessive hate that had to go into the attack on actress Leslie Jones. The 48-year-old comedian and actress became a big star over the summer, with her breakout role in “Ghostbusters” and her public stint as America’s funniest Olympics enthusiast.

But to the racist, misogynist internet, just letting Jones and her fans enjoy this moment could not stand. You see, Jones is black, female, and middle-aged, and therefore, in their eyes, she must be punished and humiliated for her success. On Wednesday, hackers attacked Jones’s website, replacing her regular content with stolen nude photos, private information, and racist gorilla imagery.

This comes on top of a summer-long campaign of Twitter harassment that was so vile that it drove Jones off Twitter, forcing the company—which is notoriously reluctant to do much about internet harassment—to actually take measures to stem the tide of abuse.

It is tempting, of course, to write off the attacks on Jones as the work of a few bad apples, an unfortunate artifact of an internet that allows a small number of people to get a lot of attention simply by being the absolute worst. I personally wish that were the case.

But this story goes straight back to the presidential race. You see, one of the main reasons that Jones is a favorite target of the worst people on the internet is because she was chosen as one by Milo Yiannopoulos, a writer and editor at Breitbart. He spent so much time and effort riling up the rats against her that it got him suspended permanently by Twitter, in fact. And Yiannopoulos’s boss Stephen Bannon now runs the Donald Trump campaign.

Make no mistake: Yiannopoulos got his job at Breitbart not despite, but because of his skills at whipping up the sociopathic internet into a frenzy of resentment at even the hint that they might have to share the world with women and people of color.

Under Bannon, Yiannopoulos was brought on to be the editor of their supposed “tech” vertical, even though there’s no evidence that he knows much about tech and despite his history of bashing video game players.

Yiannopoulos got his gig after doing the yeoman’s work of riling up basement dwellers on Twitter, cheerleading a phenomenon known as “Gamergate,” when a bunch of misogynists ran around the internet attacking female gamers for the crimes of being critical of sexism in video games or believing they have a right to break up with a dude if they want to. His real talent is mining the resentments of reactionary losers, and encouraging them to bash any women, especially women of color, whose success reminds them of what losers they really are.

The intended message behind taunting a woman with nude pictures and racist imagery isn’t subtle: “No matter how funny and well-liked and successful you are, we are still better than you because you’re a black woman.”

This is what feminists are talking about when we say things like sexual violence and harassment aren’t really about men being sexually incontinent or bad communicators. No one accidentally hacks someone’s website with racist jokes. No one posts pictures to humiliate someone because they were confused about consent.

We live in a culture where a lot of men think that a woman’s success diminishes them. We live in a culture where a lot of white people think the same of black people’s success. We live in a culture where some white men think the best way to react to this ridiculous fear is to turn sex into a weapon to hurt women.

I want this to be a small phenomenon, but this is why one of the major parties of this country has nominated an unrepentant misogynist and bigot to be their presidential candidate.

If you want a full eyeball of how Trump Country thinks, look at the reaction of Drudge readers to this story on Twitter. It’s all racist jokes and mockery of Jones’s body and sexuality. Not a whiff of understanding that she is a human being. Not even a moment of concern for a woman who is being victimized like this, even though she has literally done nothing wrong—on the contrary, she has made a career out of trying to make people happy. Just dehumanizing, racist garbage.

They aren’t the majority of Americans. Most Americans are better than this. But if you want to know how it is that Trump still manages to pack his rallies full of people, here is your answer.

Hillary Clinton made history last night, putting “the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet” by becoming the first woman nominee of a major political party in the United States. But if you check out the front pages of some of our nation’s most prestigious daily newspapers, you may come to the conclusion that it’s 1992 all over again, and that it was Bill—not Hillary—who made history.

Announcing the historic moment on their front pages, the Chicago Tribune, the Washington Post, the Houston Chronicle, the San Francisco Chronicle, and the Wall Street Journal were among the (many) papers that featured above-the-fold images of husband Bill Clinton waving to the Democratic National Convention after he delivered an elegant and lengthy address that reframed the narrative of one of the most prominent power couples in U.S. political history.

During the 42-minute speech, the 42nd president of the United States told a love story about the life he’s shared with Hillary Clinton, a “changemaker” who is “never satisfied with the status quo,” while he, as Politico put it, was just along for the ride. 

Despite Bill Clinton’s gallant effort to paint the former first lady, senator and secretary of state as someone who fights relentlessly to change the world for the better, and whose success as a woman in politics paves the way for future generations of women to follow their dreams, these newspapers found it prudent to feature pictures of Bill announcing Hillary's nomination. This even after the nominee created some incredible front-page optics, appearing onscreen at the DNC following her husband’s speech and literally smashing through a glass ceiling of former presidents. 

We just put the biggest crack in that glass ceiling yet.” —Hillary https://t.co/mYkaLIv861

— Hillary Clinton (@HillaryClinton) July 27, 2016

Not only is it confusing to have the image of a former president under headlines presenting Clinton’s nomination, it is a blatant disregard for just how important this moment is. In 240 years of U.S. history, a woman has never been a major party nominee for president. Never. Not once.

Hillary Clinton made history last night, and she deserves to be honored for that. Instead, she can't even land on the front page.

Content Note: Gird yourself for some seriously gritty rape discussion.

So, you just went through the most traumatic moment of your life. All you want to do is forget that you were raped. Thankfully, you can. How? By balancing your budget!

That’s right. American hospitals are so thoughtful that they charge survivors of sexual assault anywhere between $800 and $1,500 to process their rape kit. Now, instead of thinking about any injustices against you, you can distract yourself with your finances!

Here are some easy ways to balance your budget while dealing with your recent rape:  

Shop in thrift stores

You probably got into this situation in the first place because you were wearing a flashy outfit. Thankfully, you can’t afford clothes like that anymore! Simply go to your nearest Goodwill, find some baggy bargain bin clothes, and wear them for the rest of your life. You’ll never want a romantic partner again, anyways—you’ll be too busy dealing with emotional trauma and your complicated relationship with the U.S. government.

Buy off-brand tampons in bulk

Congratulations, your rape didn’t result in a pregnancy! To celebrate, treat yourself to some off-brand, cardboard tampons from Costco or BJs. You’ll save a couple dollars each month on those pesky “luxury” items. Plus, the stiff, cardboard applicator will leave scratches inside of your vagina that are a lasting reminder of how badly that douchebag, and the government, is fucking you over!

Cook your own food

Preparing meals at home is cheaper and healthier than eating at restaurants. Besides, you’ll be so filled with anxiety about your recent sexual assault (and subsequent debt) that you won’t want to leave the house, anyways! It’s a win-win.

Cancel your gym membership

Exercising outside can be just as effective as a fitness class in a gym! Or, even better, stay in your apartment for days on end with a sinking feeling that America doesn’t care about the mental or physical health of women. Bonus: You won’t spend money on public transportation!

Eliminate luxury expenses

There are some things women buy that they simply don’t need: designer purses, expensive makeup, therapy, and regular doctor visits. Once you cut these items out of the equation, you can spend all of your money on what really matters—paying a hospital back for a rape kit that constantly reminds you of the worst moment of your life.

Now that your budget is balanced, are you concerned that you won’t have anything to distract yourself from your sexual assault? Well, don’t worry. For the next few months, or if you’re lucky, years, you can wonder if your rape kit will ever be tested! That’s right—thousands of rape kits are sitting, untested, in police storage facilities all over America. Instead of getting justice, you can wonder why the U.S. government refuses to prioritize sexual assault cases—and that’s a mystery that might never be solved.

Resilience, or "mental toughness", is "a bit of a buzzword at the moment in psychology", Kevin Dutton, a research psychologist at Oxford University, tells BuzzFeed.

"It's the ability to to adapt in the face of adversity, or disappointment, or threat, or uncertainty," he says. "Relationship problems, health problems, losing money. Even the little everyday stresses like being under pressure at work, or struggling to make deadlines."

It's not, he says, that resilient people don't experience these things: "It just means a quality that some people have that, when they're knocked down by life, they're able to get back up off the canvas and come back stronger."

Resilience has several aspects. "A positive outlook, 'bouncebackability', not caring too much what other people think and keeping your emotions in check, learning from setbacks and seeing failure as useful feedback."

China will soon test the Transit Elevated Bus, or TEB, an elevated bus able to drive above the traffic jams in congested cities. This excellent concept presented a few days ago at the High-Tech Expo in Beijing will be able to carry up to 1200 passengers, and can move or stop at bus stops, regardless of traffic and congestion, while using the same roads. Brilliant.
