Everything about this game was weird. I remember when they made the announcement - I’m from Winnipeg, and basically dead-centre in the target audience for something like this, and my reaction was, “Huh? Who? Why??”

Jamie Foxx moved in with Sela Veve.

The Xtreme, with a logo that’s part shuriken, part hurricane?

If they move to the Bay area we could call them the Vaginers

Exactly! Centering Conan O’Brien is typical erasure of the diverse titans of podcasting like *checks notes* Adam Carolla, Bill Simmons, Joe Rogan, and Marc Maron.

So, against my better instincts, I watched the video.

I’ve long figured that you don’t get to be the best of the best without something being “different” about you. You can’t just be a balanced, moderate human being and be able to do things 99% of humanity can’t do.

...Infuriating?

I was sure they were going to draft his brother, Napoleon Thudd

He clearly gave up on the route! Too bad he’s so lazy, such a waste of his natural skill. Maybe the position should have gone to a grittier player; a hard-working gym rat, maybe a coach’s kid with deceptive speed.

But is it?

I’m not fully steeped in the M4A details, because there are only so many hours in a day. But I keep seeing references to ending private insurance, and I find them very confusing.

At least it’s not the Avril Lavigne “She’s not Britney or Christina!” routine again.

Strikes me like basic conflict avoidance. “Maybe if we just call it the Video Vanguard Award (the MJ is silent), people will forget about the molesty bits.” Because reasonable people can disagree with how much we should separate the art from the artist, it’s in MTVs best interest not to disturb that particular dung…

There’s so much going on here that anything short of a Ta-Nehisi-esque longform piece couldn’t do it justice.

The target audience for Arrowroot cookies is two year olds, but some adults eat them too.

“Aww, my asshole’s tasty.”

Groundstroke Day

EXACTLY. Don’t feel guilty about the system and society you were born into. It’s not something you’d be aware of without extensive contact with some marginalized group. I don’t need anyone feeling guilty unless they actively chose to entrench their privilege.

This is an exploit, and is definitely bannable.
