I am from Virginia and I have over two decades of empirical evidence for hating the absolute fuck out of the South. Also, being mean about regional slang on the Internet id not discrimination. Peace.

Also WTF is "showering down?" In the absence of an explanation I will assume that it is some weird Southern slang for getting a beej in the shower. Far be it from me to try to parse the language of elected officials who say "ain't" in casual conversation.

Reminder that there are people who say ENDA is unnecessary because anti-LGBTQIA discrimination is not a thing.

Yeah, that's my point, compared to, say, giving Jafar a gigantic nose and big, thick lips so we know he's one of the Bad Ayrabs.

Val Kilmer.

It's pretty amazing that the last example of a PoC protagonist was still the voice of fucking Doc Holliday (although Prince of Egypt did do an unprecedentedly good job of clearly representing characters who would have been historically non-white as such, compared to something like Aladdin.)

I think it would be a great idea not to read the comments on this story on any of the major news sites.

I seriously doubt most people do but I certainly wonder about anyone who's this quick to use their kid as a cudgel.

Cute. I'm not talking specifically about Holmes, I'm talking about accusations of racism specifically. Nick Searcy, for instead, flat-out said he adopted a black kid to rub it in people's faces when they accused him of racism.

Shun the outlier! Shunnnnnnnnn!

Can I simultaneously think that Holmes said a fairly dumb thing and that it's creepy as fuck that these people are parading their kids like pageant contestants just so they can show him that they Totally Got Him? And possibly wonder how much of a role the desire to be able to do that played in their decision to adopt…

Probably a dog, if we measure in time from arrival to shutting the fuck up about it.

Counterpoint: Fewer babies.

Capitalism ruins lives, ipso facto capitalism is a homewrecker.

Gavin McInnes looks like Tom Hardy in an Oscar-bait biopic of Nick Offerman.

Hey, remember that time Ben Stein accused Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein of enabling the Cambodian genocide because Nixon would never have let it happen? That was pretty funny.

Maybe I'm overthinking it, but as a disabled person I really loved how the central joke of the "celebrity prom date" sketch ended up being the obnoxiousness of assuming that a disabled person is necessarily pathetic and desperate.

Lots of solid points here.

More or less ridiculous than pompously explaining the flaws in an entirely facetious suggestion?
