Sneaker customization has been a thing for decades. Nike had no problem with their “heavenly” custom shoe. This is more about what Jordan said that one time “Republicans buy sneakers too” and Republicans are currently throwing a hissy fit over the video and shoes.

The best part is they are literally missing the whole point of the video:

My partner and I were talking last night about how there are still adults out there that believe in Noah’s ark and virgin births and people turning into pillars of salt. And then I thought of all the things we need to do as a society that need scientific discourse, and I got a bit depressed.

Given the labor conditions in sneaker factories, I’m sure most sneakers come with a drop or more of human blood.

Dunno about any of my atheist sisters and brothers out here, but shit like this is always hilarious to me. Up until a fanatic like Pence or Noem start pushing laws.

Fuck, I love SonicFox. I hope they never, ever change.

I’ll take a little bit of solace in knowing she passed at home, instead of in some bar-less hospital…

She may not have gotten much of the Archer humor, but she was absolutely terrific delivering her lines as Mallory—a tough-as-nails ex-spy/Parkiest of Park Avenue Upper East Side Karen.

I also love how in the Archer grand prix episode, she informed the maître d’, “This isn’t my first Grand Prix, you know.” That was one…

I don’t understand this post and won’t respond to it.

I have no problems at all with the Aspen or Vampirella statues, what I take issue with is the ScarJo Major. Which, on its own would be highly questionable, but the Joker statue is Leto’s Joker....

That’s a firable offence as far as I’m concerned.

Did you forget the statues of scantily clad women he had on his desk? I’m just saying that that may not be appropriate for an office environment...

And think of all the female coworkers who have to come into his office talk with him and have to look at his statues of scantily clad women...

I personally would consider the two figures shown in the SMH article (left one is “Aspen Premium Format Figure” by Sideshow Collectibles, and right one is Vampirella as mentioned in the Kotaku article) NSFW, especially in the context of a government office. They’re not pornographic or explicit, but they’re well…

I qualified for the vaccine because I’m technically obese so thank you, Krispy Kreme, for making sure I qualify for the next one as well.

“I felt sad and guilty for carrying on at my job as though everything was normal, then I felt guilty for feeling guilty because I had the enviable position of being gainfully employed.”

This is a problem. You should not feel guilty. You have a life to live and you have to support yourself. I get sympathy for those who…

I am sorry what was the point of the conversation with the employee? She needs to be fired. Who is she to say that she didn’t feel comfortable giving a customer HER MONEY??!!! By the way this woman had what could be called a “bad day” but she didn’t go shoot up a bank and kill white people. See it ain’t hard

People need to remove their feelings from anything that isn’t personal to them alone.

Mate, there’s a difference between you making a couple thousand or more in bonus pay vs a CEO making 200M in bonus, which could effectively pay off the salary of every single laid-off employee while he’d STILL have millions left over afterwards.

I can’t fault him for agreeing to take such a payout in this instance, however it is an example of the global issue of executive pay relevant to that of employees, as well as the wealth gap in general.

you dont get it do you? This level of payouts and structure makes sure that ALL CEOs and corp officials care about is one thing.. short term stock bumps so they can cash out some stock options. THAT means they dont care about the long term health of the company, they dont care about employees, their families, the…
