I just want to make sure I understand this right: Is everyone who thinks

Depending on what you were going for, that’s not a great comparison... Mike Tirico famously (believe’s that he) is a member of the Italian-American community after all.

This is SUCH a stupid take. If Gerard Pique had sex with someone that was not Shakira in the house he shared with Shakira while Shakira was not present, it was because he wanted to fuck that person at home and he thought he could do it because Shakira was not there at the time... Full stop.

Wealthy people don’t stay…

Evaluating this by state is folly. If a child has access to a gun, the weaponized household is the more critical data point...

Not saying you’re wrong, but:  This was mostly you snarking without providing counterfactuals in response. You shouldn’t be so dismissive about being dismissed! Your initial missive was dismissive!

I’m with you! It’s entirely possible that this child was responsible enough to put the gun back where he found it, but he certainly was capable of answering the question based upon an age-appropriate interaction with an adult. The time for the child to get “reinforcement” was BEFORE he had access to a loaded gun, not…

I feel you. Hell, I believe you.

Counterpoint: You’re presumably typing that from relative safety without a heavily armed toddler standing outside your house. It’s really easy to be a G when you’re critiquing someone else after the fact, but let us know how you ACTUALLY react when you open your door and 42 inches of…

I don’t think you need to be a gun owner to understand:

Guns aren’t terribly versatile. You can’t spackle with them. You can’t poach an egg with them. You can’t change a tire with them. You can’t spell-check with them. You can’t use them to learn multiplication tables. Guns can’t verify your tax forms. They don’t do 60…

Is he going to sexually assault Halle Berry too or can he skip that step?

TheRoot is a Daily Mail press office lately...

Same. Non-story WRAPPED in a non-story.

I understand that this is a gossip piece, but: How is this a negative? If they were dating... and now they’re not dating...

A) He could call her an ex, which is true in the present tense. (That leaves you with a piece to write that is “famous person makes out with other famous person in public.” Few clicks. Mostly…

“In the state of Virginia, it’s a misdemeanor to allow a loaded handgun to be accessible to a minor under 14 years old.”

I don’t even need to editorialize. Rational people, hell, rational gun enthusiasts should see that as problematic...

Point: It was, indeed, in poor taste.

Counterpoint: Most of what most people know Jeff Beck for is further in the distance than his very recent choice to publicly cavort with Depp. That’s a choice he made, and a relatively recent one.

“Not that our prisons are any better, but...”

JESUS! Where do you live?!?! Wherever it is, I hope your prisons are better than that!

Sounds good in theory, but there’s an obvious question... If they’re somehow pickuing up “How to not-creep” tips, why are they not able to pick up tips on how not to be creeps from rom-coms, sitcoms, and observing non-creeps in public settings?

If anything you typed is true, then by your own admission you poured wine you already purchased down your sink because you saw a foreign man on television (and unless you were watching in your kitchen, you had to walk there to do it). You certainly haven’t paid anywhere near $100 billion dollars in taxes to any…

What did you think the context was here?

From my chair, the context was a guy was laying in a hospital bed in critical condition in the aftermath of a hit that we see 50-100 times per Sunday... Skip Bayless thought it was more important to talk about the ramifications of what the NFL did about the incomplete game. One…

By my analysis, Skip Bayless should shut the fuck up. And use that silence to think about whether or not he’s closer to the solution or the problem when he Tweets.

“He’s unable to see himself as we see him: a literal prince, the embodiment of material privilege and the outdated social mores that still, bizarrely, guide much of society.”

Setting aside the fact that that’s reductive and I’m not sure who “we” is in this sentence:  You wrote a lot here. Not a word I read justifies…
