Seventy years old.  Pretty overweight.  Please write instead of eating pizza, please.

It’s easy to understand why the players aren’t speaking up, and I’m not even saying it has everything to do with their salaries. It has to do with having risen up through a plantation system designed to break them. They are the lucky few who get to trade their health for a winning ticket in a lottery which demands thei…

Not to say she wasn’t murdered, but unless you’ve been incarcerated and suffered from depression, you don’t know how awful it is and how easy it is to give in to the idea of suicide. I was only locked up a few days (albeit for mental health issues) but I gained a whole new and terrible understanding of incarceration.

Jaywalking.

Now imagine how happy Eric and Tiffany are to be the dumb one and the ignored one right now.

The White House is playing checkers.  Also they are a chicken playing checkers.  And not the good chicken, just a regular chicken.

I think the difference between Maryland’s GOP governor and Mississippi’s GOP senator: our governor didn’t run on a platform of dry-humping Confederate statues and joyous public lynchings.

I believe the KKK only hold racially charged gatherings now.  There’s no such thing as racism anymore.

This. The problem isn’t that cops get away with breaking the law; it’s that it is legal for cops to do nearly anything and justify it with the flimsiest of excuses. Add to that the deference cops get from prosecutors even when they could possibly get a conviction and you get our current situation.  Cops are above even…

I agree about the spinal injury. For some reason no one has challenged the implication that the ability to move things below the neck means there is no spinal injury. My cousin broken two vertebrae diving into a river and hitting a submerged tree stump. He then got out of the water and climbed a long flight of steps…

I think judges are more likely to go by strict law interpretation.  And in most cases, the law allows for cops to get away with almost anything as long as they’ve got that badge pinned to their chests.  Ask the a$$hole judge in Baltimore who let everyone walk when the cops murdered Freddie Gray.

At least he’s honest about how little of a sh*t he gives?  Points for that... maybe?

CNN needs to stop getting attention for being some kind of nemesis for the Trump administration.  They like Kane to the Undertaker.  They both profit from it, and it’s as staged as a metal folding chair suddenly appearing in the ring.  There are better sources for news.

It’s laughable to think these guys will face any consequences in a town and state and country which so obviously supports them.  This behavior didn’t come out of a vacuum and wasn’t unobserved.  A parent took the pictures and posted them for all to see, publicly, on their website.  Once national attention and outrage…

I read fantasy and sci-fi. I have no idea what the authors I read look like, though I assume they are almost uniformly Casper-white and men because there is no industry on Earth that doesn’t tilt in favor of people who look like me and burn even in reflected sunlight.

This is just step one in overturning Roe v Wade.  It will be appealed, all the way to pro-Handmaid judge Brett Kavanaugh and the wombs-are-mens-property heavy Supreme Court.

I’ve got an upcoming “come to Jesus” meeting with my parents scheduled for this Sunday where I will try to explain to them for the 500th time why their voting for Trump (and all Republicans) is a slap in the face for my family (my wife and kids are black).  I think I might start by strapping them in chairs, wiring…

Why wouldn’t the equity vampires just change their company name to something like Xe or Academi? God knows nobody would remember they were the company that killed Toys R Us.

He didn’t say he didn’t believe Saudi Arabia’s assertion that Khashoggi was an enemy of the state, just that it wasn’t the reason he was condemning the murder.

Correct, except I do not believe “almost” is a valid qualifier.
