In all seriousness, if this tactic had been applied with the first reports of a Chipotle outbreak, there wouldn’t have been any other instances.  Having your entire inventory of out-of-temp or undated/unmarked food destroyed by the health department (they usually direct employees to do it while they stand and watch)…

I’d dig into the health code a little more on this if I were them. Most codes that I’ve had experience with either have exemptions for food giveaways and community events, or don’t apply to food at all if no money is changing hands (i.e. food provided gratis at church or a private home or community barbecue, etc.).…

I know it’s hard to maintain momentum over weeks, let alone months or years, but I was really disheartened that most of the progressive GOTV and anti Voter Suppression initiatives didn’t really get kicked off properly until summer. Sad to say that the Parkland kids and their efforts probably got more people to the…

If this were somebody’s lawyer, this would be legal malpractice...what’s the recourse when it’s a judge? I’m assuming he could get disbarred over something like this, but maybe not?  If I were a defense lawyer, I’d be looking for a way to parlay this display of insanity into some sort of grounds for appeal or vacation…

My biggest gripe about these interactions is whenever something obviously looking and smelling like horseshit dribbles from Trump (or Sanders’ etc.) mouths, the whole rest of the assembled press corps just...ignores it and clamors for their own chance to ask a question. These guys all joined the same union, they came…

When a candidate within single digit percentages concedes before the counts are done, it really does all those voters a terrible disservice, because most states simply stop counting once the race is officially called.

Gawd, I hope THEY do another “boycott” - you know, where they make an effort to go in to several different locations and order drinks with special names on the cup like “JESUS” and “CHRISTIAN” and “LAMB OF GOD” etc.  That’ll teach ‘em to pull this “holiday cup” nonsense for the 21st year in a row, I tell you what!

I dunno, around me the ‘Bucks is still cheaper, ounce for ounce than the Dunkin’, plus I don’t have to drink outta styrofoam, but to each his own, I guess.

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.
