I’m not white or American so have no horse but I’ve always been a civil war fan. The colourful generals , the sideburns , Bull Run and Gettysburg etc . All my reading and tv watching (Mr Ken Burns takes the most blame here) led me to believe that slavery was about done by that time anyway. The Euro cotton customers…

Okay, I’ll bite this time.

I sometimes think the only real difference between Republicans and Democrats is who they’ve been tricked into thinking is screwing them over. Republicans are told it’s the minorities and immigrants eroding America’s ‘greatness’ and ‘taking our jobs”. Democrats are told it’s great swaths of rural white America not…

She didn’t have to go down there and say anything. Harris going down to Latin America at this point was Biden giving into the right wing talking points to prove they aren’t weak on immigration and aren’t for open borders.  The same thing happened under Obama and he ended up deporting more people that any other…

from your lips to god’s ears. why would you want a POTUS like this??? brain worms

TBF, lots of men like loud things. My guess is the real reason the sirens ran was simply that enough people thought it was “cool”, and any reason would do.

Missed out on a great candidate or dodged a bullet. Tomato, tomahto.

100% agree with what you stated. I’ve known of two situations where restraining someone is needed to keep them safe and a mental health professional will not be able to de-escalate. Both situations involved someone who was high beyond a point of reasoning (hallucinating, panicking). One situation someone was basically…

Completely agree. Lines like “And is firing a gunpowder-propelled restraint the best way...” are clearly meant to elicit an emotional response. It’s a blank cartridge that uses gunpowder because of the concentrated energy available in a small package. Would a compressed air cartridge that reached the same velocity be…

Your use of terms like “electronic,” “electric,” and “zapped” is extremely misleading. There’s nothing electronic or electric about this aside from the targeting/launching device. It doesn’t carry an electric charge. It’s not a taser rope.

I’m deeply curious how this will work. Group dating shows seem tailor made for LGBT folk, but I’ve having trouble imagining the Bachelor and Bachelorette franchise (not including Bachelor in Paradise which could certainly do well with plenty of LGBT folk in the mix) outside of a hetero context. So much of the show’s…

I mean if you watch the full video the biggest threat in the situation are quite clearly the uncontrolled dogs to be quite honest.

This really is a great example of how the headline really makes it sound far more amazing/dangerous than it is. Reading all the headlines I thought it would be this huge grizzly in the garden itself that she fended off and instead it’s this video of relatively small bear on a narrow high wall, a position that most…

Yes, I think a lot of people cared why the Joker was evil.  And the movie was a massive success. 

I’m so glad that Wynn is doing so well. Yayyy for scrappers.

Great article. I think it’s important to analyze symbolic spectacles that are often done. Especially in this post-Trump era where a lot of this is done to distract from the still terrible things US politicians like Joe Biden engage in. I’m tired of all this martyrism for George Flyod, who was just a black man minding…

Man, it’s a good thing David Bowie didn’t record Young Americans today.
