Headline should read “Stop Buying Chopped Canned Tomatoes.”

No, Univision is Jalopnik’s employer. The staff aren’t wannabe influencers. They’ll be receiving salaries—doubtless meager, but doubtless also competitive with other such entities.

As someone who grew up in London and moved to NYC in the ’90s I agree with you wholeheartedly—I have found it incomprehensible why anyone would find 21 Savage’s situation worthy of humor. Newham is a tough working class neighborhood in East London. Black, possibly Dominican (not the DR, Dominica in the West Indies)…

JFC a grand a month for 84 months!

I’m gonna guess from your comment that you live in Texas. On that basis, I have a question for you: is there a vehicular equivalent of “all hat and no cattle” when it comes to owning big trucks?

Not disagreeing with your core point, but $150k/year = rich?

I dunno, I live in the NY tri-state area and I drive past a LOT of boat yards on a regular basis. Pretty much anywhere along the east or west coasts, plus all around the great lakes, plus all the smaller lake marinas similar to the one near our upstate NY place which must dot the country—there might well be more…

Live and learn. As a married man (who used to work for Ralph Lauren) I own my tux, but I wouldn’t even know where to go for the big kahuna. Where the heck did you get it from?

This is the real point. House clothes are house clothes. House clothes are not for walking up other people’s driveways in. Fuck that shit, grown people don’t leave the house in pyjamas.

Yes you were massively overdressed. Full fig these days is only for state affairs. Opera (and post-opera Denny’s) calls for black tie, nothing more.

A writer for a blog isn’t a journalist. I would hazard that none of Jalopnik’s staff ever went to J school, and sadly, respect for traditional grammar norms seems to be dying out in the digital media space.

Depending on how bad those floors are, the $5,000 or best offer price could be tempting. If it just needs a few squares of sheetmetal welded into place, this could be a smokin’ hot deal for an extremely classy machine.

Could very easily be.

Personally I question whether gun owners amassing arsenals of semi-automatic rifles is a “constitutional right.” The right to bear arms in order to defend one’s self against an oppressive government is in reality no more than symbolic in the 21st century. The second amendment could be quite well fulfilled by hanging…

Raphael Orlove is features editor for Jalopnik high AF right now.

It was my first thought too. My second thought when I saw he was black was “God damn that dude is lucky to be alive.”

It really doesn’t. If you are a discerning person you’ll know that most gun homicides involve a handgun, because this is reported accurately by news media. Those homicides tend to be personal beefs—or people caught in the crossfire of personal beefs—conducted with unlicensed guns, and mostly the murderers and their…

Indeed. And thing is, when people talk of one or two bad apples in police departments they forget the rest of the saying. The reason one bad apple*is* bad is because it spoils the entire barrel-full.

Sure. The problem is, all cops should try to resolve situations without violence, regardless of race. It’s kinda the whole entire point of the job. Seems to ruffle an awful lot of feathers around here when you point that out.

It’s not an ignorant generalization to point out that black men are more likely to be shot in tense confrontations with police than their white counterparts. It’s simply fact, adequately supported by ample data.
