Straight ticket Democrat here. Your point about buzzwords will not be received well here among the snarkitariot but it’s dead on, and we better fucking listen. Middle class and poor white people don’t feel privileged and find that language so revolting, condescending and insulting that they ran straight into the arms…

The use of the word privilege has become a pejorative when talking about a straight white male and for anyone to pretend they don’t know this bothers me.

Where, exactly, did I do that? Feel free to copy/paste or directly link it.

That New Yorker cartoon, written large:

You forgot “gluten free”, “man-splaining”, and “woke”, preventing you the buzzword bingo.

I thought the use of safety pins to designate ally status was started as a result of Brexit and its resulting racist violence?

but he’s not a successful businessman. If fact, everything he’s done on his own has been an abject failure. His focus is going to be figuring out ways to funnel public money into his pockets.

As a European, I’ve been comparing this to seeing your father be swallowed up by dementia... America was once the greatest and most successful experiment in democracy, a titan of industry that nobody could curtail, and the unyielding sword of justice, but now it’s just angry, forgetful, lashing out at random, sexist,…

Said this elsewhere, but it bears repeating... Clinton, Obama, et al were right about one thing: this election was about what kind of country we are. And the electorate has decided: we are an asshole. Of the assholes, by the assholes, for the assholes. And now we have an Asshole-in-Chief. Van Jones is right, we are a…

So, just so we are clear here is a quick summary of Tammy Duckworth’s life:

I dunno- the dog looks pretty terrified in that photo. As a dog lover that’s certainly not the type of pic I’d choose to memorialize my dog.

I mean seriously though? At the end of the day we’re talking about a highly produced, 3-minute music video that was churned out of a profit machine modernly designed to capture views, incite tween worship, and generate revenue for the ultra wealthy.

This kid’s got a strong moral compass that’s about to be compromised — or at least challenged — by the system (he’ll get unduly punished and, logically, wonder about the unfairness of it all). How do we look out for him? Kid deserves a better lot in life.

Yeah, totally. I mean, our computer overlords made the rules and enforce the rules. We peasant humans can use rational thought but that has no place once judgement comes forth.

As a professional musician who has spent half of my life in a practice room learning how to actually play, it always chaps my ass when glorified karaoke singers call themselves musicians. And great, now I sound like Simon Cowell before I’ve even had my coffee.

No. 1. Robert Mitchum was a serious badass in real life. The guy actually escaped being on a chain gang when he wad 14 years old, he did demi-pro boxing AND is one of the first of the Hollywood superstars to get busted for the mary jane.

No 2. Danny Trejo, who was the boxing champion during his time at San Quentin

Steve Buscemi was a firefighter during Sept-11. Man is A+ hero & badass in my books.

One time me and my buddies were going to go get all fucked up and go see Bruce Willis’ musical performance in Dewey Beach. Well, he cancelled. The next year while we were down there (this was an annual tradition before we had responsibility) Rick Springfield played the same venue (we didn’t go to that) DURING A…

Jet Li, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan! Such whitewashing HamNo.

In my parent’s house, there are framed photos of two very sad women. One is my great grandmother, who stopped speaking for 2 years when her daughter died after falling down a well. The other is my great great aunt, who died of a botched abortion when she was 17. It’s never been a family secret or a morality tale, just…
