Yo—this is a gross recall. I remember John Fitzgerald Page (le douche). I had the unfortunate displeasure of meeting him once around 2007-2008. He is more revolting in person. My soon-to-be-ex is also a gym dweller, and they had a mutual friend. Was a weird confluence of “hey, let’s meet up with a friend of a friend”.…

Ah, the flaming pile of incompetence that is Sean Spicer. Whenever I see folks like him, I wonder who I need to fuck in order to get a press secretary/spokesperson job. Even though it’s not my area of expertise, I can handle questions on the fly and sound semi-decent doing it.

Bullshit, regarding Sinclair. My parents live in rural Nebraska where Sinclair bought out the local television station. The batshit, scripted on-air announcements that all Sinclair-owned stations read a few months ago + the bizarre, daily broadcast canned statement to the effect of “it’s our duty to analyze and hold…

Not enough stars for this. Thiel and Sinclair are two apt examples of fucked-up ideology begetting fucked-up systemic abuses begetting the ever-growing ouroboros of information manipulation and abuse. It’s sickening and heartbreaking. More light to drive away more shadows.

Now accepting applications. So much to blow up; so little time.

The pathological necrophilic tendencies of men like Thiel, Goldberg are widely known. They have histories. Open histories of abusing individuals, systems, etc, essentially for their own egos. Which means that writing critically about them was absolutely appropriate. I still hope that Thiel builds his own island…

Hit this one out of the park—thank you.

To that end and to reiterate your final paragraph, Boomers as a collective aren’t known for their ability to sustain functional, healthy relationships with other people. Torching their own GG parents, whining and absentee-parenting their own children, having one of the highest divorce rates among any generation on the…

A hundred thousand stars to you. And a hundred million to Monique, still, for getting HamNo into a chair in the back where he belongs. Even though he doesn’t “understand”.

Greetings, and well said—fellow medical educator. ‘Tis intern orientation season, where this particular professionalism message makes its first firm appearance for newly-minted residents. As in “if you do this, you will be automatically suspended pending legal and program review”. Not being a jackass to your patients…

Ha—rancid mayo! Regular mayo can be an abomination. Why anyone keeps rancid mayo around is another question, entirely.

Also grew up with prejudiced. Adding it back in as a word of choice. And Jesus—Little Black Sambo.

Goddammit, Emmitt—it’s things like this that remind me how much I miss you LOLOL

Point-blank, we have to recognize that basic human rights belong to everyone, all the time. Alston’s report via his role as UN Special Rapporteur clearly outlined the scope of the problem. Which we’ve frankly known about, and pretend that we’re not complicit in—no matter where we fall on the political spectrum. On one…

White supremacy is incredibly popular among the white, male inmate population. My S.O. has a white cousin incarcerated for grand theft auto as a juvenile plus weapons. Cousin came out of prison sporting a number of Nazi and Klan-supporting tats.

Apparently you are unfamiliar with wealthy white people of Baltimore and Baltimore county. They do not care about provenance if they can steal from brown or buy it from their fellow whites.

I also suspect this. Her visit to Walter Reed was for an invasive Trumpectomy.

You’re right, in relation to recent shootings. When I wrote my original post, I didn’t include whiteness or constant affiliation to Trump because my mind was on a spectrum of shooters that pre-dated Trump’s entry into politics for the presidency. The fact that the president embodies the absolute worst of white…

I’ll buy all of the bottled confidence and throw it against a wall, and set it on fire. That level of bullshit does not need to exist in the world any longer. It’s done enough damage.

You’re right. Didn’t think of that as I was typing it, but yeah.
