I said yesterday that the judicial system is only interested in treating rape as a crime insofar as it helps them maintain the current social power structure. They will prosecute only those rapists who they wanted to punish and needed an excuse to do so; a white male is, by default, never a rapist in the eyes of the…

If all this leads up to Joaquin Phoenix wearing a muumuu and clown make up while singing the Star Wars Cantina Theme to a bunch of aliens, I am there.

His career’s going to be the real Joaquin Dead!

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: We have moved from “Being a cartoonishly evil asshole isn’t a disqualification for being a Republican” to “Being a cartoonishly evil asshole is a qualification for being a Republican” to “Being a cartoonishly evil asshole is the only necessary qualification for being a…

It’s becoming increasingly clear that what they all want to say, but can’t quite bring themselves to openly admit, is “Brett Kavanaugh is of our tribe, therefore we will defend him against outsiders.” It’s the only defense they need. He’s a conservative, so he’s always right. They don’t want to admit that’s how they…

He probably would have freaked if he found out what my wife printed on the personalized collar tag machine the other day...

I agree, but you’d think that the politicians involved would be smarter than the voters. Cameron initiated the referendum, which was an entirely unnecessary self-own for someone who was by his own admission Remain, May invoked Article 50 even though it was obvious that a hard deadline favored the EU in negotiations,

Brexit remains the single most mind-boggling political mistake in the history of ever. The consequences were entirely predictable, and yet every single person walked wide-eyed into the wood chipper.

“How do you know I’m not arguing in good faith? And by the way, are you trying to say that ALL male showrunners are only hired because they’re dudes?”

Proper trend headline protocol demands “Why Are Millennials Killing the Milk Industry?”

I’m saying that when someone responds to a discussion of systemic privilege by saying, “Hey, maybe there’s something legitimate underpinning it,” it’s usually a pretty safe bet that they’re not arguing in good faith.

Yeah, like giving a bear hepatitis and putting it in someone’s shoe. Now THAT’s comedy!

“What if they thought [straight white cismale] was the best person for the job?” isn’t even a dogwhistle anymore. It’s literally just saying, “Hey, what if bigotry happens because straight white cismales really are the best at everything, hmm?”

“just shut up and step up. Do the right thing”

The plural of anecdote is not data.

I still insist that if you ever want to really understand what’s going on with the conservative movement right now in America, all you need to do is watch the “Inferno” episode of ‘Coupling’ and mentally substitute overt racism for porn. They’ve spent all this time trying to make up reasonable-seeming excuses for…

I wouldn’t trust the scores for TLJ on any crowdsourced website with a twenty-meter cattle prod, not with a bunch of people going around specifically crowing that they worked very hard to tank those exact same scores.

It’s not. Black people calling the police on white people have a tendency to get “accidentally” shot.

Might want to wait and see how Episode IX does before saying that. Solo was a clusterfuck of a train wreck of a garbage fire, with directors fired midway through and an unknown actor hired to step into the shoes of Harrison Ford to tell a story nobody was asking for. Saying that it performed badly because people…

“It’s so unfair that they’re willing to convict Kavanaugh without even an investigation!”
