Sigh, and every day is a chance to roll my eyes at a typo in a headline, it seems like. I’ve long since given up correcting errors in posts, but in headlines, they’re a lot more repellent.

The fire department job is most appropriate, because French fire brigade training is actually where parkour came from. The founder, David Belle, had several family members who were decorated members, and he combined that with his interest in martial arts and gymnastics.
Yeah, it’s weird how a country that’s spent over a century giving more than half its GDP to the country that used to own its citizens’ bodies has such intractable long term problems.
For me, nothing brought home the power of the bots and the trolls and the conspiracy theorists more than the fact that when I googled “Hillary Clinton, 9/11" during the election, the first couple pages were related to her fainting at the memorial or Rudy trashing her, before it finally got to her work helping the…
I feel like Bendis is trying to show both how important representation is, but also how frustrating it is that “black” or “female” is always used as a modifier to the assumed default of “white male,” which is of course one reason why representation is important.
Dude, you include three tweets but not the one with video so we can all enjoy it?
Nah, we’re booing him for a lot more than that. He made a few inspiring speeches about 9/11 and hundreds of self-serving ones crassly exploiting it. And he shamelessly lied about 9/11, saying that he never saw the senator responsible for forcing the Bush administration to take proper care of NY’s first responders at…
This story diminished the self-loathing I was feeling about having turned off the blocker I use to keep me from reading the news just a tiny wee bit.
Time to complain about how corrupt “Crooked Hillary” is again, with her “pay for play” foundation (that was rated higher than the Red Cross by two different independent watchdogs who specialize in auditing large global charities.)
Bendis is not one of those white men who respond the new trend of actually referring to white men as “white men” instead of just “men,” by insisting they don’t see color, and that it’s always wrong to refer to any group as a monolith. That sequence is about how white male is always the default, with “black” or…
Trump’s entire career is based on lying. He lied to Forbes about his worth to get on their Richest 400 list. Then he lied to creditors about his worth to borrow more money than he could ever pay back, using his presence on the list as proof. Then he deliberately went bankrupt, walking away with millions while his…
Once I was playing with my cousin, and he knocked a squirrel out of a tree. It came staggering across the fairway, only to get hit again by my worm burner. I felt bad for laughing so hard.
I know it’s not cool to accept an apology as sincere and recognize that people can change, but Jason Bateman sounds an awful lot like someone who just realized how problematic a lot extremely common and normal male behavior is, and is therefore making an effort to consider and respect other people’s perspectives more.
Worth noting that the AP style guide was updated in 2016 to allow the use of a lower case d in “dumpster fire,” because of the sudden surge in usage.
Well, on the one hand, you can bet your ass that if he beat up a white teacher, they’d have required bail, and if a black student had beat up a white teacher, he’d have been denied bail.
For the same reason that women in every industry are speaking up about the sexist abuse they have to put up with every fucking day.
It won’t have a meaningful effect unless the people who quit watching for ethical reasons make as much noise as the people who quit watching because they were offended by the protests.

This is a distinction that is often lost, to the disservice of all.
