Look, he’s doing everything he can every day to take this country back to the era that made Martin Luther King Jr.’s work necessary, ok?

I’m sure he wishes MLK Jr. the best and hopes he continues doing great things. 

Considering that the road team, Minneapolis Roosevelt High School, has a predominantly black student body and has been staying in the locker room during the national anthem for their previous games, this would seem like more than some good-natured ribbing.

I admire Trump and his team’s ability to successfully push the narrative that supporting Trump = supporting America. It is so far removed from reality that having to explain it to someone is almost more trouble than it is worth. 

“Which bone is most likely to be infected with racism? Femur? Rib? Have medical professionals ever confirmed the existence of a racist bone?”

Hey everyone, I found the guy with no kids.

As someone who absolutely adores and routinely donates to our national parks, this is sickening.

If there are not sufficient resources to keep the parks staffed, they need to close until such time as staff levels can be returned to normal (and ideally, government pissing contests wouldn’t ever get in the way of public

That’s a pretty anodyne statement given the inherently subjective nature of the inquiry—ear of the beholder and all that (to very poorly paraphrase the aphorism about beauty). To say nothing of the fact that whether it is good or bad is wholly irrelevant to this particular piece of news.

Exactly. No matter how you feel about the song or Robin Thicke, this is a terrible outcome for the music industry. 

I can’t wait until Warner Bros. sues the crap out of the next story about a group of kids in a magical world for capturing the feeling of Harry Potter. I don’t think people realize how bad a precedent this is, as almost all media is a variation of what came before it.

This is terrible. The song is alright if you’re into it I guess, and Thicke is an idiot...but what the fuck? Half of a song’s revenue because it kinda lifted a beat? Every Cumbia and every Raggaeton song ever use the same beats, yet somehow the Latin music industry has thrived. This ruling is bullshit and bad for art.

Why is a verdict excellent that will open the floodgates to all kinds of ludicrous copyright lawsuits by artists who claim that a song copied a ‘feeling’ of another song? I get it, you hate Robin Thicke, but being so dense and short sighted is no way to go through life.

Make no mistake, Blurred Lines is a gross sexist song that I’m happy has been largely forgotten.

At this point maybe wait until next gen, or at least until you see the next systems both platforms are announcing this year (Microsoft at E3, Sony at a date and location undisclosed as of yet). It’s not that getting an Xbox now is a bad idea, it’s just that we’re so close to seeing the next gen, maybe save that cash

God damnit it. Chris Evans and Tom Hanks still safe? And John Oliver? At this point there the only dudes in the industry that I can rely on 

“not frequenting places that practice unequal enforcement” - YES. Tell the owner/manager what you witnessed and why you won’t be spending any more of your money there, and remind them that you’ll be sharing your views far and wide. Then boycott, picket, spread the word. We did these here in Charlottesville (story here)

Good for them. This is a way to use your whiteness in a positive manner and how to be a good ally. If you see injustice, speak out. I know everyone on here know about the unequal enforcement of rules, but these ladies’ families and Facebook friends need to be shown “proof” of this treatment. Now comes the part of not

And, as always, there’s a tweet:

Amazing how Trump is now so suddenly concerned about young women being inappropriately touched.

Here’s the video proving 100% that Acosta didn’t hit a woman. TRUMP, SANDERS AND HANNITY ARE LYING SACKS A SHIT!!!!
