Every statue of Columbus should be replaced with a statue of Toussaint L’Overture.

Hmmm.

So the name Yahweh Ben Yahweh tickled a memory for me. That name used to be all over the news in south Florida a long long time ago. Specifically I recall a lot of news talk about “the Yahweh Ben Yahweh trial”.

I was going to say, are we talking about the same Don Lemon?

I would love to have witnessed the reactions of Richard Spencer [spit] and Stephen Miller [spit] to this news; both are Duke alumni.

One thing ive learned from a decade-plus of being estranged from a parent is that, particularly with siblings and children, there is always some drive or interest, even low level, to try and reconcile.

Not all heros wear capes

And the “alt-right” is their farm team of aspiring brownshirts.

NK is almost certainly not going to lob their missiles at the US in a mutually assured destruction situation.

Media piracy* is a perfectly legitimate, and principled response here. Deprive Dr. Luke and Sony of their payday, and mail Kesha a check for a few bucks (not knowing details, the artist’s share can be pretty damn small - look up Steve Albini’s breakdown of this from the early oughts).
