There’s a family in my neighborhood that has adhered to the bowl cut aesthetic for the 15 years in which I’ve known them. Oldest son is in college. Still rocks a bowl cut (with sad mustache). Dad went from flowing mullet direct to bowl cut. High school son went to the local barber my kids go to, barber differed from…

Hey Chicago Jezzies, come out and march with us next week to protect your right to safe, legal, accessible abortion. 1pm at the Dirksen Federal Building:

Milo likes to think of himself as a writer, apparently. But it has come out that his self-published poetry book from 2007 was full of plagiarized Tori Amos lyrics. If that isn’t utterly pathetic, I don’t know what is.

I mean, you can say that about any job:
-“Look, what do you want from me? All the profitable oil is right there in that nature reserve. I know that those pandas are the last of their kind, but there is so much money to be made!”
-“Look, what do you want from me? It’s not my place to judge OJ Simpson as a person, he’s…

When you look up “Uncle Tom” in the Encyclopedia, his picture should be right there next to David Clarke. (Yes, I’m aware Uncle Tom isn’t a blanket term, we sure do need one nowadays though!)

The publisher then asked readers to “withhold judgment until they have had a chance to read the actual contents of the book.”

The book can be made, he can self publish for all I care. It is disappointing that a major publisher was like “hey I can make money off of this guy’s racism and hate speech that makes the world an objectively worse place!”

You’re trying to trot out the “paradox of tolerance”, but you are late to the game. It’s already been solved, amigo. Philosopher Karl Popper brought up this exact point in 1945:

En serio... can you imagine them publishing books written by right-wing Islamic extremist radicals calling for the creation of Khilafah (caliphate based on the Shariah) and opposing secular/Judeo-Christian Western governments? Nope.. I don’t see them giving these guys a platform.

“We have always published books by a wide range of authors with greatly varying, and frequently controversial opinions.”

All you need to know about him is that he’s a professional troll. He goes to college campuses with the intent of saying outrageous things so that liberal students will protest him and give him even more publicity.

I was just talking to someone who works at Simon & Schuster as a publicist and is not happy that they are doing this. I hate the whole “withhold judgment until they have had a chance to read the actual contents of the book.” We know what he is about! He has made himself very clear. It normalizes hate-speech. Yes yes…

Today I learned that being an abusive asshole is simply “a controversial view.”

I know I’m out of touch because this is the first I’ve heard of him, but he must be self loathing just by his hair.

LOL murdering nine people in cold blood is so embarrassing.

You realize Hollywood still pulls the Lindbergh Baby and Leopold & Loeb out of the mothballs about every ten or fifteen years, right? Those are respectively 80 and 90 year old salacious murder cases. These things never go away.

Well, I *would* like the case to remain open until solved. The crime is barely two decades old. I hope the murderer can be identified at some point.

Ugh. Can we just let this poor kid (and her story) rest in peace?

“Is this an attempt to capitalize on the mini true-crime boom that kicked off with “Serial” and intensified with Netflix’s Making a Murderer? Probably not.”
