I love it when a scrappy, heady, overachiever shows the grit to take it to a flashy, athletic, instinctive gloryboy thug.

Yep. Worked on dinosaur digs and wandered all over the North American badlands. Destroyed my hips and shoulders doing it, still miss it a lot. However I deemed general mobility pretty damn important in the grand scheme of things, so that was a part of the decision to give it up.

Oh, I’m under no illusions about the crappiness of previous administrations, trust me. I voted for Hillary, but it didn’t feel good - I trust the Clintons as far as my destroyed joints could throw them. I think he was an average POTUS at best.
There needs to be a runner-up game, as in World Cup Football (soccer, for you allies and your soccer minivans).
The real and moral victory is pretty damn sweet. I’m stoked for my fellow clueless crackers and for us all.
Lets see some White Allies people!
There is literally no better feeling in the world than when I dropped the Bears as my favorite team. Not my divorce from a soul sucking marriage. Not when I left the worst job ever to teach kids with disabilities and found my true calling. Not the birth of my niece or my nephew. Not the fucking Cubs World Series.…
I still think the game where the Bears only punted (no TDs, interceptions, fumbles, or FGs) is the most impressive feat in sports history.
Looking like a damn unopened Pokémon ball.
Facts aren’t sophistry. You’re points made through misrepresentation of facts aren’t points at all. Laurence is responsible for one of the few early written recordings of Somalian oral history, still studied by Somalian historians today, yet you lied about her life and motivations to make a point. Thus a non-point.…
No, I’m correcting another of your, far too common, factual inaccuracies. You said Laurence married specifically to get to Somalia because she was interested in a writing a book about Somalia for some nefarious purposes which is pure bullshit. Laurence and Fergus married in 47 just after she graduated college. Unless…
Again, bizarrely wrong. Laurence married Fergus more than three years before his job took them to Somalia or the Gold Coast. He wasn’t a “British colonial officer”. He was an engineer that was hired to work on road and rail infrastructure projects. She decided to record Somali oral history and folklore only after…
Uh, what? That show was conceived, written and directed by K’naan Warsame, a Somali, who has full creative control. Bigelow’s involvement amounted to providing money for production through her production company so he could make the pilot.
Except for the small fact that Kathryn Bigelow is just a producer on that show. K’Naan is the director and writer. But don’t let those facts get in the way.
Torture porn ain’t for me regardless of color, so I won’t be seeing Detroit. But at least Kathryn Bigelow is serious-minded about it and has a point to make about racist police brutality.
Jones is also a huge, arrogant asshole! Who also happens to be the GOAT.
What truth? I said in my comment that I think the officer that killed Philando should be tried for murder. I just said part of the difference is the situation of the interaction. I even said race played a part in it. But no, you can’t comprehend that shit because you’re focused on me being white, which I never even…
Some people want to be angry and there is nothing you can say to stop them. Its odd that there are some angry for people asking for justice. Why not use this as a way to improve things for everyone? Instead it seems like a race to the bottom.
The governor of Minnesota immediately held a press conference after Castile’s death condemning his death and the officer responsible. Also indicating this would not have happened had Castile been white. He did not come out and condemn this “white woman”’s death. Blanket statements about what happens and what does…
