Ron fucking Howard.

The problem with #MeToo is that it relies on public outrage for traction. And try as they might, the general public can’t be stirred to give a shit about every single victim. Their empathy has been exhausted.

Howard. Ron Howard.

My take-way is this: No one over the age of thirty should be allowed on social media. Youth culture and geriatric culture don’t co-mingle well. 

It’s a $320/share stock that’s been trading publicly for eight years and has never posted a profit.

Really? I think it complements his douche-bag persona.

Lucky little bastard. What the hell is he complaining about?

Epic.

I read somewhere that the medieval standard for marriage only had two requirements: both parties agreed, and they consummated. No priest necessary. Sort of precursor to common-law marriage I suppose. 

You’re missing the point. I’m not suggesting we revert to barbarism. I’m suggesting we recognize that consent laws are entirely arbitrary in nature and don’t actually prevent any harm in cases where the younger party is both physically and mentally mature enough to have an adult relationship.

Yikes. And now they’ve ruined football too. Is nothing sacred?

I don’t think America hates black people per se. But it’s probably guilty of not giving a shit about them on a massive scale. Hate is a small problem that you can see a mile away... skin heads and confederate flag wavers. But apathy, that is everywhere and it is powerful.

I don’t think police are keeping anyone in lower socio-economic circumstances. They’re just unusually comfortable using lethal force with a particular variety of criminal. Always Mr Reasonable, I prefer to condemn the police for the crimes they’re actually guilty of.

Sean Connery was in terrific shape as Bond. He was a former Mr. Universe and stayed remarkably fit as he aged. Granted, you could barely see his physique under the thick pelt of body hair, but, he was fit nevertheless.

Well, I’ll grant you this: I wasn’t aware of what a staggering number of people don’t have valid ID. That’s slightly mind-boggling to me. How do they function in society? I’d also be very curious to know what portion of the people too dysfunctional to carry ID are actually chomping at the bit to vote. There’s some

But how so? Blacks and latinos alike would have government issued ID. Everybody typically does unless they’re undocumented. Birth certificate, Driver’s Licence, Passport... any would do. They’re not picky.

Wait, are you implying that racism is worse in the south?

Nobody’s lining up to vote period! Our turn outs are a nation embarrassment. Interesting they don’t check ID in NY - you’d figure there’d be a country-wide standard on voting procedures. The whole thing’s a bit of a soup-sandwich, isn’t it?

Oh it’s the old Paul Walker debate. I’ll try to keep this succinct. There’s no such thing as morality. It’s an abstraction invented by a society of animals as a tool to distinguish socially acceptable behaviour from socially unacceptable behaviour. But it is arbitrary in nature. Fluid. And occasionally nonsensical.

Hehe, truly. Right after Bobby Cannavale channels some Gyp Rossetti and straight up axe-murders her crooked boss. That was a hell of a finale.
