What I really hate about people like Chance is that they have the totality of mankind’s knowledge at their fingertips, but refuse to educate themselves. He thinks making money and occasionally tossing some to charity makes him some sort of erudite philanthropist. He has all the time and money in the world to educate…

While I agree that pressing the point gets shit done, it’s nobody’s business whom you decide to forgive. That’s her personal choice, not yours or mine.

If anything you ever say or think or do in life ends with the statement “Hitler was right”, you just might be wrong.

It is entirely feasible that this is, in fact, a recruiting stunt. One that I hope works, honestly. I also see your point that this isn’t going to drive progress but not everything has to be about driving progress. Sometimes you need to halt progress, like the progress of inbred militias operating with impunity to…

Achieving social justice for POC and other minorities in the U.S. probably isn’t a conflict that is going to resolve itself via open conflict between two clearly distinguishable, armed forced. And frankly, we wouldn’t want it to. The white supremacists would almost certainly win that fight—largely (thought not exclusiv…

The axe forgets but the tree remembers.

“... she (Amy Pascal) said, “Look, I don’t mean to be politically incorrect, ... we’ve got to make sure that it’s believable.”

Was going to say, if only we had some kind of hard evidence of her racism and dumbshittery: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2015/feb/05/amy-pascal-leaving-sony-pictures-email-leak

Of course you don’t remember it, Amy, because, as the Sony leak proved, you say about a million dumbshit things a day. That’s way too many to keep track of or even be aware of the individual dumbshit content levels.

Because fighting is what they want and you don’t give the enemy what they want. Second, this is just more boys and their toys and dick swinging. The Cause doesn’t need that. It needs substantial reform. If the creators of BLM thought shooting a bunch of rednecks would solve the problem they would have started with…

Hacking would be a better use of time and money. None of those rednecks are worth the time or bullets.

Nothing says “4th of July in Trump’s America” like a bunch of drunk Russians accosting African-American citizens.

If I might make an attempt at nuance here, the idea that many psychiatrists are too quick to throw pills at something and call it a day is both true and a big problem. I speak from personal experience - I struggled for years futilely against clinical depression with a series of RXs that never much helped until I…

commidifying LGBT+ folk for eyeballs sounds horrifying to me, but maybe I’m not reading this quite right.

Yeah so this is just more in a long string of worthless vapid television. It’s EXACTLY like every other dating “reality” tv show except everyone want’s to fuck everyone.

There’s value in scratching their “we’re about our rights” surface and see racist stuff break through.

I don’t understand Twitch. It’s like someone opened a garbage store, then one day decided, “I can’t have all this trash lying around here!”

When a white person brings up “black on black crime” that is code for “I do not like black people and I think that they are deserving of violence because they have brought it on themselves”.

You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down and you see a tortoise, it’s crawling towards you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on it’s back...

All these comments will be lost...like tears in rain.
