“But every St. Patrick’s Day we’re going to talk about how the Irish had it pretty shittay for about 40 years but still could vote, own property, and become important, wealthy, and indispensable parts of the political machine in urban America. Never forget!”

Right there with you.

Oh, it’s been pretty well documented. But I give him credit for writing Live Through This. That was a solid album he gave Courtney Love.

Would that mean he was less of a horrible homophobe and a more-talented singer?

Yo, Dre. I got something to say.

Speaking of which... I’mma leave this here...

There’s a difference between racism, and a passionate belief that you get to own other individuals as property.

But don’t take my word for it! Here’s some Confederate veterans, as collected by the Museum of the Confederacy’s own in-house historian, John Coski:

This. Also, the Civil War, in the Confederacy’s own words was explicitly about the right to own another human being as property.

No problem! I love Coates’ writing on all things, but he’s one of the greatest public intellectuals on the intersection of race and history in our current days, I think.

Because he’s on point about reminding us exactly WHAT the Civil War was about, here’s Ta-Nehisi Coates:

Yeah... that’s not a good idea. Ugh. Gizmodo and Kotaku are the best at killing my interest in things I’d otherwise like due to the commentariat.

Oh, it gets better. Now he’s using a Heinlein quote in big font to try to bolster his argument.

That makes even less sense than your idea that equality means getting to hit girls in the face.

Thanks for that trenchant and timeless commentary, Ike Turner.

Speaking of equal rights, there’s a jackass over in Gizmodo who’s implying that women getting equal rights means getting punched in the face (by a guy).

I think you give people too much credit. Most people are just really assholes.

“Adam Sandler hasn’t been funny since SNL.”

Troll gonna troll. Just flag and dismiss ‘em.

No, why would Fallout 4 specifically benefit from some forced-on multi-player gimmick?

Also, if the internet has proved anything, it’s that I’d rather fuck a buzzsaw than play ANYTHING online.

Actually, having done some time in the ad/promo biz, that’s just the CYA talk. The promoter knew they didn’t have the rights and ran with it anyway, probably after checking off the record with higher ups. It’s not like they used some obscure 90s never-was in their promo.
