Argued against abortion rights and the sex offender registry...

It’s shit like this that makes people say “both parties are the same”. Sure, you can fight that assertion all day, but people like Lipinski set you back 2 steps for every 2.1 steps you take. 

That sounds kinda bootstrappy & exceptionalist ...

It’d be less tricky if the working creatives didn’t fight tooth & nail to foreclose barriers to entry to those who come up behind them. I’m a musician & photographer (as well as having been known to write a thing or two) so I know the patterns to which you refer. It’s the old “can’t join the union till you get a job &…

Obviously Twitter is another thing Deion couldn’t tackle…

I appreciate this response, and I wish I’d been much clearer in my original piece: Publications that can afford to pay anyone, should pay everyone. And no one should ever feel like they owe someone free work. Get paid as soon as you can get paid!

I agree!

Y’know, if we all had access to bombs and bomb-making material this never would have happened because a good guy with a bomb can always stop a bad guy with a bomb.

He just had a kid, you’d think he’d be more interested in being there for his child and wife.

I’m no doctor, so I won’t begin to comment on whether he should be wrestling again, or how likely he is to end up paralyzed - his long-term health should OBVIOUSLY be the most important factor here. But selfishly, tears are starting to well up in my eyes thinking that I might get to watch him in the ring again.…

Daniel Bryan rules. He should also not wrestle anymore.

“Maybe one day WWE can clear Roman Reigns, so he can actually wrestle for once.”

This guy needs somebody in his life to sit him down and tell him no. I get not wanting to give up the thing he loves, but there’s not a chance in hell he should be wrestling again. He’s proven multiple times to be unwilling to change up his style to accommodate his diminished health, and there’s no reason to think…

Unless Bryan has found the cure for brain injuries — and not just WWE’s version of Russell Wilson’s concussion water — this is such a bad decision for everyone involved. Bryan, now the father of an infant, is basically pulling a Shazier in that he’s going to wrestle until he’s killed in the ring or unable to function…

Maybe Noir should ask where the NRA was when lawful gun owner Philando Castile was killed by the cops. I still don’t remember them responding. Strange. You’d think a guy being killed by the government simply for the crime of having a concealed carry permit would be right at the top of their list.

After living in southern West Virginia for a decade I am nowhere close to figuring out the reason for this. The only inkling that I have is the identity of the the miner. People are proud to be miners and proud of their fathers being miners. The coal industry itself is of course doing what they can to perpetuate this.…

Yeah, but that’s a “He beat me so bad he knocked my teeth out and my retinas loose, but deep down I know he’s sorry. He’s just been going through a lot of stress lately,” kind of ‘relationship.’

I am baffled why the people of West Virginia Coal Country feel such loyalty to the coal companies. In the past century the coal companies have poisoned their landscape, destroyed their natural beauty, set fire to the earth itself, terminally affected the health of both their adults and children. They condemned their…
