Unfortunately, with BeerBoy and the Hand Maiden’s Tale lady on the bench, the Supreme Court is not likely to reach the right result.

So the standard next step would be for them to teach CRT, get shut down, and end up in court with an eye towards getting to the Supreme Court to show just how stupid these white fragility laws are and get them struck down nationwide.

The problem you have with CRT. There’s no way you can teach about the history of race without covering the insane amount of wealth that many, many, many, many, many, many, Many, MAny, MANy, MANY white families have because of slavery, generational wealth, white privilege, etc.

Nah, Texas actually produces most of the stuff you hipsters love. Spoon, Mars Volta/At The Drive In, Khruangbin, Richard Linklater, Wes Anderson, Robert Ramirez, Beyonce, Eryka Badu, Lizzo, Megan the Stallion and a tons of other rappers high on cough syrup, Buddy Holly, Roy Orbison and Willie Nelson. I’ll also take…

When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.

As a resident in a blue oasis in NC, I’d be sad to have to pick up and move...but this does seem like the direction things are heading.

Too many nuts with guns amongst us.

Oh absolutely. I mean, there won’t be any civil war because those southern states don’t have Slavery to bankroll them. Just let them secede, put a wall behind them, and  give it a month before their southern paradise burns to the ground. 

Tell me again why we won’t let Texas secede?  Seems like it would be pretty amusing to watch the whole place fall apart.

I think we should do the opposite. I think the blue states should peacefully secede and form our own, progressive country, and finally do things our own way.

Good news.  Hopefully this will quell the concerns that, this being his first conviction, there might be a lighter sentence on him.  

The other 3 cops should be shitting themselves at this news. It warms my heart.

She def has a mean streak in her humour. But I think it makes her a far more interesting and complex comedian and gives her writing a tension and slight darkness that is far more entertaining than the current trend for simplistic, earnest Gen Z humour that is Always Nice.

Same. Never read Bossypants or watched Kimmy whatever. But this is a valid statement on parental abuse and how we raise girls in our society to be meek punching bags to all kinds of abuse including verbal abuse. I don’t see it as putting the onus on the abused. Rather it is calling out shitbags like Colin Quinn and…

As a not famous person, I avoid everything from high school and college too. I feel no need to relive the “glory days” as I really like my life now. 

It’s just so dumb. This personal reference that Tina Fey made in her own fucking memoir made ME feel sad about MYSELF for reasons ergo Tina Fey sucks.

I find both your take and the take of the author of this piece to be valid.

I think the point is that we’re all an asshole to someone. None of us are perfect. There’s just something about all of us. 

I’ve long suspected that the episode of 30 Rock where Tina Fey goes to her class reunion thinking she was the quiet nerd and was actually the raging asshole is autobiographical. There’s just something about her.

An article on “why I like this show” that opens with two paragraphs on “why I don’t like Tina Fey” might be the dictionary definition of “burying the lede.”
