He should of just said “there were fine people on both sides” of this shooting.

There is also this phenomena that I’ve noticed that I can’t quite put my finger on but the best way I can express it is that the media no longer covers reality (factual information), they cover perception (how events make people feel). I have never seen a presidential election where the media has spent so little time…

Frankly, I’ve never thought that Louie’s behavior rose to the level of Cosby’s or Weinstein’s but it does seem that humiliating the women was part of it. Otherwise, why not just find a willing participant or hire a sex worker to watch you.

That’s true, they even use the phrase “Democrat run cities” when referring to Chicago, NY, LA (apparently tRump just said it about Milwaukee). But, all large cities in the US are democrat run, even in the reddest of red states.

The other one that’s becoming common is equating homelessness with crime. I understand that SF and LA probably do have problems with homelessness but so do all large American cities. But it’s pretty amazing that they’re convinced people in Appalachia or the rural south (rural America in general) that poverty=crime. 

Crime is a good example of an issue that we always interact with according to perception rather than data. Why is it that people that live no where near these cities are the ones raving about rampant violent crime? 

If you watch the whole thing it’s not like he’s saying that in some philosophic sense of “truth” just that things are decided on evidence/material fact, ergo bringing the truth more into focus. As compared to the media (the right wing media specifically) that contorts the evidence/material facts to further muddy the…

Also, streaming numbers are not a good metric of how many fans you have in a given region that are willing to drop $100+ to see you live. When you had physical copies being a fan already meant you were willing to drop x amount of money on the music. But, streaming your music for free does not equal “I will pay money…

I also love the montage of his descent into sex and drugs has a part where he literally declares “ah, this is the dark period”.

Walk Hard has definitely ruined most music biopics for me. I have no idea if it’s true to life, but I understand there actually is a scene where they try to make her go to rehab which then inspires her to pen the song. That just makes me think: “Don’t you dare write a song about this Dewey!”

You’ve got several important details wrong in that story. But, let’s just say judge people on their actions not something they wrote as a provocation 35 years ago. He’s worked with hundreds (maybe thousands) of artist of varying ages, sexes (sexual orientations), and public profile in his career. Uniformly everything…

He never directed racial slurs at OF. The article is about him being annoyed because he had to share an airport shuttle with them and said that Odd Future was directing the word at everyone else on board. If I remember correctly the only time he uses the word in the article is quoting them because they kept saying “n$5…

Back when finding underground music was a bit of an adventure you had to turn to things like reviews in magazines, videos on 120 minutes, even just good ol’ word of mouth. You might even buy things because they came out on a certain label, or a the side project of an artist you already liked. Steve Albini is probably…

That’s been going on for the better part of the last 50 years. I hate to tell you this but in the next decade this will be regarded as a time of relative peace and prosperity.

Agreed. The first bullet point is probably the most important in this comparison. OJ kept his mouth shut outside of the courtroom and followed Cochrane and Co’s strategy. It’s no coincidence that OJ lost the civil trial when he no longer had the full team working on his behalf and what ultimately got him was his own…

Don’t get me wrong they seem like abhorrent human beings, but in the parlance of the day: Alina Habba and Christina Bobb, 100% would. Corcoran and Tacopina less so.

Yeah. During halftime Bob Costas stopped taking about the game and started covering the police chase. I don’t think you’ll ever see something like that again.

Meh, black people in this country have endured centuries of bullshit and injustice at every level of our criminal justice system. The over-correction that we saw in the public support for OJ, R Kelly and Bill Cosby is completely understandable in that context. It’s human nature to extend the benefit of the doubt to…

Funny how the only person that didn’t absorb this lesson is Trump. Who has every available resource yet he still picks his defense lawyers based on who has the nicest tits.

As a Houston Rockets fan I’ll never forgive OJ for deciding to flee in the middle of the broadcast of the ‘94 NBA finals against the New York Knicks. Repeatedly interrupting the broadcast of a pivotal game 5 to cut away to the police chasing the white Bronco. Oh yeah . . . and the awful business of murdering his…
