I still have a hard time believing that this woman isn't a figment of my imagination.

Wow, that was….fuck!

Honestly, I thought that scene was true to Murphy's character.

….Or maybe he just honestly thought that Chi-Raq was a shitty exploitation movie that failed to say anything substantive about Chicago and turned the plight of the South and West sides into an unfunny joke.

What you call emotionally intelligent, I can't help but see as disingenuous. It's a point of personal preference, but I'd rather be in poor taste than give a gift I wasn't happy with. In the same vein, I'd rather not vote than endorse a candidate I didn't have confidence in. On principle, I disagree with the assertion

I think it's also important to not in addition to locking a lot of people up the Crime Bill, from what I've read, took a hatchet to programs and policies that weren't geared towards incarceration. Diversion and rehabilitation- the "midnight basketball" portions of public safety policy- had their funds sapped. I don't

While I understand your point, I can't say I agree with it- though I admit that that has much to do with my age and where I'm from.
I was born in 1989, in Columbia, SC; so I wasn't around/aware of the levels of violence at that time. Even if I had been born 10 years earlier, it's likely I wouldn't have had the same

We can't say these policies destroyed black communities when crack dealers and gangbangers were already doing a fine job of that.
Question: why, exactly, can't it be both?

I'm not trying to suggest that voting isn't important or something that anyone should abstain from. It's just that I'm genuinely disturbed by the belief that people who don't vote "don't have a right to complain"; as if not exercising the franchise somehow removes them from society.

But you don't forfeit the right to express how you want government to be run by not voting; that would only be true if voting was our only form of political expression/action. It's not.

I hear what you're saying, but I have serious misgivings with this line of thinking. For one, it turns voting into the be-all and end-all of civic engagement. Is a person who regularly volunteers at a Fair Housing Initiative and works as a big brother/sister with the United Way really doing less than somebody who's

Don't sweat it. We've all been finessed by Amazon Prime at least once.

I've never understood the argument that if you don't vote, you somehow forfeit the right to complain. That's never made any sense to me.

I like that the City of Light storyline is starting towards it's climax. However, now that things have finally ramped up in that plot, it's really highlighting the problems I had with the stuff going on around Pike. I haven't been as critical of Pike, the character, as some other people but he really comes off as an

That scene really hinges on the idea that Murphy is still kind of a scumbag, so we (the audience) will gloss over how rapey it is.

Really? I haven't loved everything he's done, but I don't think I've ever read a Morrison story that was outright bad. Why the apprehension?

How is Grayson and Cyborg? When the concept idea of DG as a super-spy first came up, it got the side-eye from me but I occasionally hear good things about it. I don't know anyone who reads Cyborg, so that series is a mystery to me.

Michael Jordan is such a scumbag; I love that guy.

I struggle with DC. They used to be my favorite comic company, but now…
