Hey Brooks: I am a 40-something white guy with a good job, living with my wife and kids in the house we own, and I just wanted to say fuck your “alt left” narrative. No, morals are not always simple, but yes, the biggest problems in this country largely originate with the fucking bankers (and their ilk, and apologists)…

I love the assumption that all leftists were coddled as kids. I’m a communist because I grew up in a trailer park next to a Con-Agra grain tower along a railroad in Iowa. My mom died of cancer because we were poor and uninsured for 10 years, and my dad’s an abusive piece of shit.

My mom told me if I walked barefoot outside even for a moment I’d get worms. I was 7 the first time I went barefoot. I don’t remember why, only that it was so urgent (to a 7 year old, not anything serious) I ran out the door and made it 30 feet before I stepped on the bottom of a broken coke bottle and severed my toe!…

I hope they rent a big mobile soundsystem truck and make a grand tour of the Federal City blasting YG’s “FDT” on endless repeat at moon-rocket-launch volume, with particularly lengthy stays in front of the Heritage Foundation and the Republican National Committee headquarters, making one last 15-minute stop in front…

This is literally the plot of the Patton Oswalt movie “Big Fan”

“Tin Roof, a Nashville Bar”- an understatement

And the system throws away another young black man. Instead of getting the help he so obviously, desperately needs, he’s going to be locked in a cage for four years. When (if) he gets out, he will almost certainly be worse for it. As will we all.

He’s only mostly dead.

I’m no psychologist but I have worked for the obscenely wealthy and it is different than a pathological liar. When you are as rich, spoiled and sheltered as trump your perception of reality is altered by the fact that everyone around you is paid to say yes to everything you do and say. So when you say something that…

Typically, those assignments he’s threatening to refuse are off-duty security jobs voluntarily taken by individual officers. The Browns (or Beyonce or whomever) pays the off-duty cops directly for the job. So a union president can strongly urge his membership not to take those off-duty jobs which offend his delicate…

The only explanation is racism!

I wish I knew if he felt blessed or not.

Shapiro, as far as I know, is straight. Travolta’s performance, as has been widely remarked by people who can remember the trial (I watched, but don’t remember in much specificity) and/or know Shapiro personally, is nothing like the man. My read on Travolta’s interpretation may or may not be colored by some things I…

2400 block of West Grand Blanc in Mundy Township

100%

It fails to point that out because his rhymes are actually good and do display depth and wit.

Well, he was shipped to the arena in a box labeled ACME BACKUP GOALIE, so there’s that...

a touch almost as deft as the one that keeps sending me to miller lite advertisements.

Their web series The Adventures of OG Sherlock Kush is hilarious.

★★★ Dawn’s fingers were the color of Tang powder, at the edge of a leaking gray sky. The dimness could not dissuade the children from rising early. Downtown, the sun was coming out, then not, over streets with puddles charting their mini-topography. Haze gathered over the afternoon and the loveliness of the air rose…
