I don’t want to be a pedant, but The New Colosus was written by a female American poet as a fundraiser for the construction of the fucking Statue of Liberty. Miller is saying that an American poem older than the statue but written in connection with the statue and helped to make its construction possible is…

I’m sorry if things got heated.

At this point, the right wing has successfully tagged liberals and anyone else who disagrees with him with the stereotype of the wealthy elitist. We’re at the point where a real estate billionaire from New York and his hirelings can accuse others of being elites. Yikes.

I’m getting kind of uncomfortable with the focus on this man as if he is the only comedian who does this. Why the pretense that he is the only one making these kinds of jokes? Why not talk about every comedian—even the ones that aren’t Black men—who make these kinds of jokes?

Eyewitness reports: comedian still telling jokes. More at 11.

What would possibly make you start a slap fight with a guy sitting on a bench in a police holding cell while your pants are around your ankles?

“I’ve been to several A’s games”

I like this joke because I imagine somebody calling the Nuge a liberal.

Strong core. I can only do it for 15 seconds. Shows my ab muscles are growing.

Can you tell me the purpose/benefit of a 15-minute plank?

I’ve been exercising and trying to include more fruits and vegetables in my diet because I noticed it makes me feel better. I noticed my body is growing stronger and I can do more. I went from not being able to do a plank at all to doing one for 15 seconds. Focusing on weight made me feel discouraged. Focusing on…

The couple seems like they suck. But unless they lied to the media about what happened, I don’t understand how this is defamation.

It would almost impossible for pharma to even make up the profits they’d lose from weed being legalized. I’ve already made this point like 3 times on this page, but here are the basics:

I saw two people on my facebook just today posting about how Kamala Harris is “corrupt”, “corporate”, and “not a real progressive”and “when will the Democrats ever learn?”

How, specifically? They can’t patent weed strains that are publicly available everywhere, which is their current big money-making scheme. And there are startups in states that have legalized it that will be years ahead of “Big Pharma” when it comes to production and distribution. I think you’re just so hopped up on…

Your comment, like all unhinged BernieBro rants, makes zero sense and has no basis in reality. Legal weed is one of Big Pharma’s biggest fears. It’s why they’ve been working to keep it on Schedule A for decades, stupid.

No doubt it’ll get blocked for some BS about safety even though you live in a country where you can drink and buy guns. It’s the same shite in the UK used to try and keep it illegal.

If shorts are good enough to save someone’s life or lift heavy boxes, they are good enough to attend a powerpoint presentation meeting and say things like touch base, run it up the flag pole and circle back
