I am neither a Travis Scott fan nor a supporter, but i’m still struggling with how he is the main person at fault for this. Sure, he’s the primary artist but doesn’t LiveNation put on these shows? Aren’t they the management company responsible for everything from ticket sales to security? I’m trying to understand how…

If you play basketball, you know a dirty frustrated play when you see one. You’re fooling yourself if you think this wasn’t intentional. It’s funny, because he is the NBA’s staple, and you mysteriously can’t find the most incriminating angles of the shot. Every one is saying it was “Accidental”. Bullshit. He should…

It is fundamentally incorrect and worse, counter-productive to blame police unions for these types of settlements or the state of policing in America. Clearly, ACAB and police unions are filled with the worst of them, but this shit is on elected officials, institutional oversight and the courts, which ultimately means …

That’s not how a crowd crush works. When you’re packed in densely, crowd movement is often driven by people that are no where close to the danger zone and can’t see people being injured.

The folks that are right there are being pushed by the huge wave of people surrounding them and have little to no control. You can…

We don’t know enough yet and lots of the wording is unclear.

Wow, I looked it up.  It was November 2001, which makes sense as to why I missed it.  I was still in college which meant I was paying attention to much more interesting stuff like studying and partying.  I have a huge hole of stuff in the zeitgeist from the late 90s.

I looked up the episode history of frontline, and I believe it was an episode called “gunning for saddam”. Keep in mind that Powell made his UN speech in Feb 2003, so there was 17 months of public discussion about how to respond to the 9/11 attacks. It was obvious pretty quickly that 1) The attacks were directed by Bin…

I have to wonder how old some of these people in line to shit on his corpse are, or how aware they were of what was going on back in the early 2000s

Please quit your job.

Then take some of that extra time you might use researching on Youtube and go study some math. Specifically probabilities.

You might be surprised that all those funny numbers specifically say that the vaccine is by far the less dangerous choice. Unlike whatever floats through your head in your…

I chose to be unvaccinated, and that was my choice, and I would ask you all to just respect that choice.

Justice is imperfect, and anything you wish on guilty people will - maybe not often, maybe often - happen to innocent people. “Only when you’re sure” is not a qualifier that magically makes justice perfect, so the punishment - even for horrific crimes - in civilized countries attempts to reconcile this reality with…

Oh, look! My favorite New York pizza place.

I like how you claim you aren’t buying the PS5 like you had a choice.

Do people consider Drake to be ‘bravado-heavy’?

The only way to settle this is to capture, kill and dissect the purple beast, preferably live on a children’s show. It worked with Barney. 

This. His story makes me incredibly sad. I hope his friends and family find some small comfort and peace from this news. 

“Aurora Fire Rescue personnel later said they overestimated the young man’s weight and gave him a dose that would have been appropriate for a 220 pound man. McClain weighed 140 lbs.”

I weigh around 150, and I can tell if someone weighs 200+ easily.

It’s not unheard of for thieves to either purchase one item legitimately, and then return an identical stolen one; or to find discarded receipts and use them to get a refund on a stolen item from that receipt. The cost of losing a customer is basically never worth calling people on this. As usual, not only is racism…

Oh sure, Amazon seems fine now, but how long until we start getting reports of Black people in Texas getting shot or arrested for taking (their own damn) packages!?!
