This sounds like an episode of Mike Tyson Mysteries.

I try that, but the temptation to go and look at it is too great – and in any case, the anxiety of knowing it’s still out there remains.

I’ve taken to doing what Joel does, for the most part. I just can’t not read the fucking comments, and I regret it every single time.

No, the vast majority of them realize it. They just don’t care; they’ve got theirs, so fuck you. Ivanka might well fall into that tiny group who have grown up so insulated from the realities of what everyday living is like for the bulk of human beings that she doesn’t even realize what’s she’s saying.

But my money…

Not that it has to be because climate change is a hoax.

Well, Warren’s seat would be filled by a Republican only until a special election no more than 160 days later. Baker is also quite moderate anyway.

I’m still hoping for Harris, though.

AKA, “JAQing off”.

And naturally, the first reply to that sheriff’s office tweet is someone blaming the guy wearing a mask for insisting that the guy without it not put other people in danger.

Granted, you *shouldn’t* confront these people because they are obviously assholes, they don’t care about anyone but themselves, and they are…

There are statues of Roosevelt (or at least one).

No, it’s been possible since 1855 – but, apparently, before 1934, only citizen fathers could pass their citizenship to their child, so it wouldn’t have applied to Churchill and his American mother. But interestingly, since 1994, the 1934 change has been retroactively applied; if the old Nazi-fighting, reactionary imper…

Yeah, I’m not even sure what that was supposed to mean. She may have legitimately been making people uncomfortable with God/Jesus talk. Everyone knows at least one of those types.

Of course, since she isn’t giving specifics, I’m not exactly going to rush to judge her, especially since it’s obvious she was mistreated.…

Plaudits to the officers who reported him, though I find myself wondering if this truly is the “first time” he used unjustified force. He was apparently involved in a fatal shooting in 2007 which was ruled justified (seems legit since the suspect had a gun and was waving it around in front of his home), but lesser…

You either didn’t read the entire post or chose to ignore a fair chunk of it.

You also don’t know what “ephemeral” means.

Does every “public critique” have to erupt into outrage that results in people writing fucking articles about it and pressuring people into public apologies?

For crying out loud, this is not a big deal. People here trash men (and women, at times, especially if they’re right-wing nutcases) for their looks all the time.…

“Should” have? Yeah, there are lots of things people “should” do but don’t. Everyone involved should have let it go because it wasn’t that fucking important. No one is under any obligation to be polite to one another, and getting on their case about it when they aren’t when the situation will very easily resolve…

Hey, he might, if Trump is re-elected. With a landslide looking increasingly likely, though, Fox appears to be hedging its bets.

Heck, even if Trump loses, this guy is an incel martyr now; he could strike out on his own and scoop up a share of the virulently, unapologetically racist and misogynist white boys who will…

It’s different in nothing but tone, but tone is what matters to moderates. This will head off companies who may want to pull their ads. It’s not necessary to have a substantive change if one guy behind the scenes can take one for the team.

She did not have to apologize or show humility. All she had to do was not pull out a fucking gun.

Meanwhile, the snakes are out there on Fox and elsewhere parroting statistics about Obama’s commutations and pardons primarily for non-violent offenders that he had and has no personal connections with whatsoever. And some are going to swallow it.

Well-said.

We’re living in a time where there is a small, but significant, minority who would say with a straight face that Donald Trump is no more or less corrupt than any given politician. We’ve completely lost the ability to define “deviance”.

And that’s the point. Exhaustion is the point. Numbness is the point.…

You make it income-based. That’s not even a new idea.
