Do non-white people have their own identities? I'm pretty sure they do, but whenever I read white liberals talking about it, they seem more interested in talking about non-white people or people of color, as if there are two races, white and non-white, and the most important thing about people in the second group is…

Does she even know the history of blackface and minstrel shows, and how Hungary used both of those things to keep Jim Crow going in America?

Yeah, sure, this is dumb. I don’t really get what she was trying to accomplish. But it’s not like blackface and minstrel shows are part of Hungarian culture. It’s hard to get…

I hope she doesn’t have to drive anywhere to give the speech.

That’s the next step in corporate synergy between Marvel and the SEC Network.

Andrew’s friend Bryan is right that Chipotle budgets for people stealing Tabasco. They also budget for robberies and lawsuit pay-outs for food poisoning. That doesn’t mean you should hold up Chipotle at gun point or get a steak tartar burrito from them.

Calzones are a rip-off. You’re paying more than twice as much as you would pay for a slice, but you’re only getting as many toppings as you would on a slice. You’re paying for more bread, the cheapest part of the pizza. And you don’t get any maillard reaction on the cheese or toppings.

Star Wars took a lot from Hidden Fortress, but it also took a lot from other Kurosawa movies, from John Ford movies, from Flash Gordon movies, and also a little bit from Leni Riefenstahl. The Force Awakens only takes from Star Wars. Where the first movie is an homage to a broad range of cinema, the new movie is an…

There are 2 reason I can think of, and I generally support broad background checks. The first is that making background checks too onerous will push some otherwise law-abiding buyers to the black market, and a bigger black market is harder to control.

The other downside, and a risk of federal bureaucracy generally, is…

Is there a secret “congressional inaction” clause in article II?

These actions are constitutional (assuming they are) because they’re part of executive authority. Congressional inaction has fuck-all to do with it.

Exactly. I realize that Jezebel doesn’t have a unified editorial voice (and gawker media even less so), but similar allegations against anyone else wouldn’t be dismissed as just someone’s sex life, as with Louis C.K. Even something that is just someone’s sex life, like the possibly closeted magazine executive, is…

Conservatives aren’t the ones who have set our current refugee policy to be so stingy. Conservatives aren’t the ones who have prolonged the civil war by funding the FSA enough to keep them in the fight, but not enough to win. If you're looking for Americans to blame for the refugee crisis, sure, include congressional…

If by “kicked their empathy into gear” you meant “did absolutely nothing to change the status quo,” then you are correct.

If the Paula Jones claims are true, based on the way the cultural definitions of rape and sexual assault have changed, Bill Clinton is likely an attempted rapist. This is worth talking about. He is at least a major proponent of “rape culture.”

Most spousal communications are privileged, but there are exceptions.

If she'll sell out her loyalty to Stanford, what else will she sell out? Is this someone we can trust with our nuclear secrets?

If a priest drove a car into mass, he would be suspended. In fact, most people at most jobs would be suspended if they drove their car inside and tried to work out of their car.

Showboating assholes that want to turn mass into a performance can go fuck themselves.

They're not hovering.

ESPN seems to have turned on the NFL on this issue. In addition to running a million ads about Concussion, they've even talked about it approvingly on sportscenter, giving Will Smith interviews to promote it.

Wait, he still bought the game from Toys ‘r us? I guess if Black people boycotted every racist store there wouldn't be anywhere else to shop, but you at least shouldn't give your business to a store that calls the cops on you. What, the Bengals don't pay you enough to get Amazon prime?
