But wouldn’t someone who qualifies a racist joke in front of a black person by saying, “yeah but not you, all the other ones” be called racist? At the very least, these jokes are offensive. People losing their minds are doing so in bad faith. They aren’t really upset. But we alsoooo would probably hear that when…

Lol to each their own

Okay, so you’re implying 15 years of music was more or less made in efforts to be used for iphone commercials? With all respect, what are you listening to these days that you think will last?

There have. I’m sure. Which is why they defended her. Stop sucking yourself into a binary world view. Its really making repairing our country impossible. She has not been fired. Her tweets were defended, but admonished. These things are not mutually exclusive. And attempts to convince people they are mutually…

There are levels of subjectivity and bias. We elevate editorials over other forms of subjective opinion pieces because they are supposed to be more rigorously considered and weighty. This is why an editorial boards endorsement of a presidential candidate is fucking news and an opinion writers isn’t. There is weight.…

Some examples? VW first two albums were my college years (and the third almost bookended them) and the influence they’ve had on wider music culture is immense in my view. The bands that hit between 2004 and 2008-2009 with their first records have influenced rap, r&b, broader pop, etc. Not least of all because they’re…

Oh man really? Contra feels LP2 rushed to me. Its still a great album because its them, but I felt like MVOTC was perfection. Unfortunately now they are at that age in music making where the majority of bands have one great album left. Most artists peak at 33. Like athletes its some combination of right experience…

Don’t know if you read something Rostam said about making that album, but it sounds like he became the primary songwriter and Ezra the only lyricist. He implied most of this, but it sounds like prior to that they’d shared songwriting duties and Rostam provided at the very least an editorial oversight to the lyrics but…

Thank you. And these are inappropriate tweets for someone who is supposed to be coming down from on high making pronouncements we take as even and unbiased. Their being inappropriate doesn’t mean the tweets are indefensible within context, it means at the upper level you rise above the trash.

Gillibrand and her A NRA rating are as left as my right foot. She’s an opportunist and will sell any person, agenda, or issue down the line for short term gain. If your intention is to back a true liberal, she doesn’t have the bonafides. Just the easiest access to New York media in the senate.

You have to fight the false equivalence fights. We are the party of facts and truth and we showed once again when push comes to shove we’ll sell that down the line for cheap short term pr.

They called for his resignation. What was he going to do? Say no? 

Gillibrand is a fucking hack. She’s aligned herself with causes but it’s all cheap politics. This is a woman who got an A from the fucking NRA. So let’s not pretend she has some genuine bonafides. She rode the Clintons as long as it was good for her and then throws them under the bus? She sacrifices Franken on the…

Its convenient to maneuver the blame to misogyny and therefore patriarchy, as if it is possible or even positive for a species biologically intent on procreation and the therefore the pursuit of sex to not compete. Women are always going to compete for male attention and men are always going to compete for female…

A mistaken upgrade would ideally defuse this for my catharsis, while really fucking up a lot of other folks catharsis

Does Delta own the behavior of one employee? I feel like we have to move past that. If a company doesn’t own the bad behavior and deal with it, thats one thing. But companies can’t be expected to front for 1000 employees. Their are good people on this site who couldn’t front for their own family

This site has a tag called “Male Tears” that conflates men showing emotion with the bad faith bs of MRA activists. Moments like these do make clear that some number of the far left are not here for equality but the same system of exploitation just changing who is exploiting whom.

I *think* you’re onto something!

Broad City is going to enter the comedy show hall of fame. I’m sure in certain circles the show is hugely popular, but even in my group of peeps who are very much the Demo it seems only a handful of people have really gotten into the show. Anyway. Does anyone like Matt Groening shows anymore? Not trying to initiate an…

Well it’s not the type of place society should be allowed to intervene, I think it’s almost a guarantee that at least one person in these types of relationships is dealing with borderline personality disorder. One fool may rush in, but the other person abetting that is often someone struggling with a mental issue they…
