Do you think y’all could put a link or song/band info in DUAN? Sometimes the link won’t work on mobile and youtube doesn’t let you see the info when that happens (or I just don’t know how to get the info) so I have no idea what song you’re linking to. On desktop you can usually still click through or hover over to get

I disagree with you too.  I don’t think that’s what any of us were saying, and I think being white carries a lot of burdens, and one of those is being responsible for the racism of other white people. Another is a responsibility to be proactive to a) use my advantages to help others and b) mitigate the damage caused by

First, this gives me an opportunity to bring in somethign I wanted to above but I was already getting too long-winded: a lot of this depends on your definition of “white.” If white is an analogue to the powerful elite, or maybe even ‘the light-skinned powerful elite,’ then sure, I mostly agree. White used to be

I completely disagree (while also completely agreeing). Just some background on me so maybe where I’m coming from helps put my comments into the proper context. I’m a white person. Throughout my life I’ve been told ‘pick your battles,’ ‘it’s not worth the risk to speak out about [fill in the blank],’ etc. I’ve been

I was thinking the same thing. I’ve listened to Hardwick’s podcast on and off in the past few years. When #metoo started, he was noticeably quiet about it. On at least one occasion his opinion of a questionable person caught my attention as a potential red flag (glowingly called TJ Miller a “force of nature” when he

Make phone calls! It’s surprising how much a few phone calls do because they essentially work like polls - if a congressperson gets more calls about one issue they think it’s representative of the general feeling about something. It’s not gonna sway someone who knows that their constituents will re-elect them

Now playing

This doesn’t directly address #metoo, but is relevant your mention of his treatment of everyone regardless of fame (and power): the Hanoi episode should have a monument that plays the Obama scene. Watch the entire scene with Obama, but especially from 31:00. It’s looking back at an alternate reality where people still

I wish I had seen this! Girlfriend in high school, driving her 90's Corolla in her first-ever snow, starts to lose control a little bit, suddenly yanks on the handbrake. Me as we’re now in the middle of a full-360: “What are you doing?” Her: “[My friend who is older and should know better] said the other day ‘when in

How is margarita not on here? It meets all of the above requirements. It’s basically the same ingredients as a whiskey sour but way better and more fun. 1/3 the ingredients of a long island iced tea. I mean, screwdriver?? I’m sure the staff skews younger, but I didn’t realize you were all high schoolers stealing from

I love how, in the video, he waves, and then his hair waves right after.

This is the cutest thing. Yeah, probably some privacy issues (for the child), but that’s a sweet kid. Asks the guy his name and then says “Ok” because he probably thinks now the guy’s not a stranger so he can talk to him (and hop into his bathroom stall), just wants to get some help washing his hands cause he’s a good

I’m confused about a few things. First, this is a 2 month old conversation, so welcome to the conversation! Second, are you yelling at me? If you are, your anger appears to be misplaced. Third, I appreciate your dedication to immigrants, even though you’re a bit incorrect (and, with all due respect, it’s

You’re wrong. He wasn’t allowed to shoot first. Because he didn’t have a gun.

I think this is the only site where I won’t get thousands of “you liberal snowflake trying to ruin everyone’s fun” comments (only a few dozen, if people even see my grayed-out comment).

A little confused, you’re taking the “go back home” angle, right?

NOOOOOOOO!!! I have three things that I’ve been meaning to return for a few years and haven’t gotten around to it!! They definitely don’t qualify under the new rules. I hadn’t done it yet because I felt guilty about the policy, but definitely didn’t consider my problems to be abuse under the previous policy (I had one

I live within range of a WEEI affiliate and it’s programmed into my radio because they carry games, so when flipping through stations this morning I heard Gary Tanguay telling the two dinguses that their show is shit and they cater to the lowest common denominator. I only caught the end, but maybe there was something

I like your writing. I just wish you still did Foodspin on a regular basis (I know technically you do some Foodspins, but basically just the “use this product” or “don’t do this to your food” variety; no longer any recipes). No disrespect to Chris Thompson! I like his stuff! But for whatever reason I was always more

There’s an easy solution to things like this: the receiver should make sure he secures the ball before he tries to extend for a touchdown. The same thing happened on the Dez catch in the 2014 playoffs - if he had just gone to the ground and protected the ball first, and then extended after if he had the chance, it

I love that most of the 1-star reviews are complaining about you not being in the calendar.
