Nope. There’s a lawsuit making its way through the North Carolina courts citing Environmental Racism as the cause for putting waste retention ponds from hog farms next to minority neighborhoods. The hog feces water is used for irrigation (it’s considered fertilizer as well as water), and the water sprays on the houses…

Indeed. These debates really bring out people’s pro-management bias. Underneath it all, athletes are labor, but labor sufficiently privileged to occasionally choose the location of their work. Why shouldn’t Durant do what he wants? What the fuck does he owe the Thunder?

One way to make all Bruce Willis movies more enjoyable is to never watch an interview with him.

I don’t have any theories about this flick’s performance other than to say this:

This. So many people have medical conditions that security should be trained to accommodate people with various needs.

The statement released by the TSA was incredibly fucking condescending and dismissive of their horrible actions.

Absolutely, and I might add that $100,000 is not even close to enough. What they should sue for is dismissal of the TSA agents plus a few mil.

“Passengers can call ahead of time to learn more about the screening process for their particular needs or medical situation.”

Sari Koshetz of TSA released a statement alluding to the incident: “Passengers can call ahead of time to learn more about the screening process for their particular needs or medical situation.”

Jesus Christ, that is awful.

Sports is the only field where conservatives denounce capitalism and free markets.

The nice thing about privilege is being able to dictate the standards so “the others” can never meet them.

This is beyond classless. I don’t think I can go to Cinemark theaters anymore until they drop this.

You’d think they’d have a marketing or PR person step in with the legal team and be like, “You know, you might want to rethink this strategy...”

Just because you can doesn’t mean you SHOULD.

Repeated blows to the head. Substance abuse. Abusive relationships. Emotional issues. et cetera.

This is a classic way to make your child love you more: get a judge to legally ban them from participating in a sport that they love and are really good at.

For me, it’s more that it’s without clear consent from the daughter. Yes, I would think it was slightly weird for a daughter to ask a mom to be a surrogate simply because of the age issue, but this woman is dead and there’s no explicit proof that this is what she wanted. It feels more like the mom wanting a grandchild…

during the hearing no reasons were given for why the cars were impounded, and no reason was given for why they were now released.

It looks like a fascinating book, and the responses from some of the critics blows my mind. I hate to be that person. I can’t help but think that if she were a white man, her face would have been plastered all over the press after the book’s publication, and she’d be called a hero. But the book got mishandled from the…
