But they got coverage, so that’s “Mission Accomplished” on a 40ft banner flapping in the breeze behind them, right?!?

“Ally” isn’t exactly new or some fluff buzzword...It’s pretty spot-on and has been used in this context for quite some time.  Like the Mattachines and PFLAG and Lambda Legal old, and I’m pretty sure it was co-opted from the greater civil rights movement even then.

Well, as an ally, you’re either helping me in some form or another, or you better stay out of my fucking way. The quote is awkward on the street, but in the context of TwitchCon - you know, on a panel of content creators being asked how to help, it’s about as specific as you could ask for - you pay us, you work for us…

OOoooh! I have the perfect stuff to try this with. It’s a brand called Farmhouse Culture - they have a couple different varieties of kraut, including kimchi, as well as fermented beets and fermented carrots with ginger. They’re fresh - so in the refrigerated section, and not only pretty damn delicious, but also…

Yelling “Fire!” when attacked as a way to summon help does work, but maybe only in specific scenarios. It was a finding of one of the numerous experiments conducted after the Kitty Genovese murder in NYC where dozens of neighbors heard or saw the attack, but didn’t intervene or call police. The proposed mechanism of…

The false equivalency horseshit needs to end, and viewers and advertisers need to start calling these talking heads out any and every time it happens. You can argue with me, get in my face and scream your beliefs, talk over me, call and email me repeatedly about your POV, but the instant that violence is threatened or…

Coordinate NOW with like-minded friends/family/coworkers/neighbors about an election day plan to get out and vote. What if the weather sucks, or you work late, or there’s awful traffic or ...? Have a plan, and a backup plan, and if it’s within your means, have a way to get friends/family/coworkers/neighbors to the…

And the irony is, Jared himself is a bigger security risk than any of the passengers on the flight or any press corps members could ever hope to be.

Yeah. Even the “enlightened ones” still have a long way to go on this brave new CBD-enhanced world, unfortunately. This is exactly why this “story” was but a blurb and Coke and Aurora didn’t nail down any specifics. Gotta prime the pump and slowly reveal the detail, otherwise the buttoned-down Wall Street analyst…

I think membership in a white nationalist group or racist militia is actually a prerequisite for some police departments.

Oh, the white-on-white violence!  And how both sides are MURDERING the English language!  I’d clutch my pearls, but they somehow went missing at this Emmy’s party I was at...

Even though these numbskulls don’t seem to get how boycotts are supposed to work, by continually buying and then destroying the product in question, I love keeping up with their boycotts because it forces all the sneaky closet bigots to eventually out themselves, in ever-more grandiose and entertaining ways.

Keep spouting off the insane nonsense Rafael, please. Even god-fearing christian white Texans get sorta blanched when the idea of a cop walking in their front door and shooting at them comes up.  O’Rourke already has the gift of The Words and The Looks in his favor, so more ranting and raving from Cruz will just paint…

This case is all kinds of heartbreaking and horrifying, and that’s before there’s even been substantive evidence or testimony. The slow motion ooze of the State’s Attorney to even press charges, and only after releasing some limited dashcam footage a year after the fact...the conspiracy of officers trying to falsify…

When in criminal proceedings the establishment likes to call upon the “character” of the defendant and their witnesses, I find it only fitting that we examine very closely the character of those persons wishing to become judges.

Let them come back to the “witch hunt” analogy over and over again, that’s fine. I’d counter with their own Colin Kaepernick argument...if he’s so great, why hasn’t somebody snapped him up yet? If Kavanaugh is such a prize specimen, why wasn’t his name floated earlier (During one of the Bush administrations even?) and…

Here’s an underscore why the Kavanaugh confirmation process is so critical: it’s a lifetime appointment to the court that will probably decide what kind of FISA-obtained evidence can and can’t be admissable in court. The Congress didn’t have the political will (or the foresight) to question the various scenarios where…

Not an iTunes user here, but how then does Apple define the difference between a “purchase” and a “rental” in the store? I would think if I bought something and the rights holder then later revoked Apple’s license to distribute, I would either a) be able to keep the content as it was delivered under a perfectly valid…

I dunno about that...a food writer or blogger is presumably going to dine out at Giant assuming they can print an article/story/review later about their dining experience, something they get paid for (either directly via their publication, or indirectly through page clicks and ads or whatever). Having it turn out that…

Glad wrap isn’t magic, and three-days of airtight storage is plenty of time to let some serious foodborne illnesses develop, even under refrigeration. A food writer or a professional chef telling you on camera it tastes delicious is all fine and well - it could still put somebody in the hospital. Did they take extra…
