Jay-Z just doesn’t seem like the sort of guy who needs to really do anything at this point, so it’s not surprising that he’s not incredibly active on social media. When your brand is already synonymous with excellence, your musical legacy is cemented at “legend/genius” status, and you’re a legit billionaire...…

Well, to be fair, cops DO have a job lol

He’s a media personality and a brand. That’s his job. He’s good at it. In a very real sense, Colin Kaepernick makes large sums of money off of the NFL, but without brutalizing his body; dude threaded the needle.

For Republicans? Probably. A porn and video game junkie probably doesn't vote, and almost certainly doesn't travel cross country to commit treason (a crucial aspect of the GOP's strategy.) 

This is also why the Democrats just need to stop it with thinking they can save or redeem the Republican party. They were never your friends, stop trying to appeal to them, stop trying to appeal to their voters

I didn’t realize it until this article and I saw the picture above, but my mind seems to have formed a decently strong association between the white shirt/chinos/tiki torch and white supremacy. At this point, my subconscious is clocking this kind of outfit and prop combination as white supremacist more or less the…

Gadsby achieves what Pryor did in terms of opening herself up in achingly personal ways that are as painful as they are hilarious.

Yikes.

Stand-up comedy today feels like it’s consciously/purposefully siloed off and specialized based on its intended audience. I suspect this has always been the case to some degree (as I understand it, there have always been wildly popular Black comedians without crossover appeal for white audiences,) and whatever…

Agreed. Chappelle may be the greatest comic of Chappelle’s generation/Michael Harriot’s generation... but certainly not “This” present generation.

It’s interesting to note that indigenous people do not appear to be a monolith on these sorts of issue. FSU does the ‘chop’ but, and otherwise uses all manner of other iconography on its uniforms, and routinely has a student (often white,) ride onto the field on horseback and throw a flaming spear at the ground before…

Maybe you could dress as a U.S. Senator doing their job, which is to...

I’m not exactly sure—I sort of get the impression that the article above is implying that SCOTUS might care... but that doesn’t really jibe with the overwhelming majority of its decision-making, so it’s hard to say.

I don’t know anything about these people’s outward facing brands, other than seeing Zayn as a feature on songs that occasionally flit across my Spotify. I’m curious to know how these people hold themselves out to the public—and with particular regard to Zayn, are people surprised, or is this one of those “omg I can’t…

Wouldn’t they even still have to prove their use of force was reasonable under the circumstances? Barring total jury nullification, or the Judge being a fuckin klansman (and, to be fair, neither of those would be hard to believe,) this whole defense feels like a heavy lift. 

What are you running that successfully blocks all the ads without blocking other site functions?????

“[A]re you guys running out of things to talk about?”

And by what standard is the court going to decide whether there’s sufficient evidence to deem any given victim a rioter, arsonist, or looter? Are there going to be entire, separate evidentiary hearings to litigate what terminology can be used for each individual, respective victim? This fuck is going to literally put…

It seems to me that Gadsby is perfectly capable of being funny; it just so happens that she sometimes deliberately chooses to not be funny (often for pretty long swaths of a set or show.)

I was at the Netflix taping of Gadsby’s Douglas, and I not only saw people laughing, but I also laughed myself. As far as I know, no audience members paid to do so; in fact, I actually exchanged American currency for the opportunity. As for the rest of the audience, I cannot say whether they were laughing because…
