You seem really invested in holding on to your opinions on Mello despite actual opinions of women and people of color in Omaha. I’m blaming some white women because the shitty mayor of Omaha actually is a white woman (who is a forced birther! and pulls up the pavement in poor neighborhoods!)

Listening is more than the first step to healing. It is opening our closed world to other human beings with compassion. It is expanding our circle of empathy. Listening is acceptance that others struggle, suffer, and need to be heard. It is both hard and easy to listen. Listening is required to deepen a shallow…

I disagree..

Well, it was the only way to get the Constitution ratified, if you’ll return to middle school American history for a refresher.

Also, in the event the G/O management succeeds in banishing politics from all the blogs, we’ve created a refugee camp here:

Alcohol is not an excuse. I have been a heavy drinker ever since I was legal—and only recently managed to cut alcohol out of my weekday.

Even at my worst, I never tried to grab, kiss, or otherwise physically/sexually assault someone.

Alcohol doesn’t make you do anything you wouldn’t do otherwise; it’s an inhibition…

Part of me wants to ask “what the fuck makes dudes like this think shit like this is okay?”

The rest of me understands: “Entitlement. Entitlement, and a culture that has been content until just recently to say ‘boys will be boys.’”

Thank god the second part of that appears to be experiencing some pushback, at least.…

Sure, still, fuck the Yankees though.

Yeah, sure, but also fuck the Yankees. 

Pour one out for Splinter.

Splinter was good. As much as I liked Old Gawker, they never would have hired someone like Nick Martin, who maybe couldn’t snark as much but instead focused on boring shit like the indigenous population we keep killing slowly.

I suppose it’s the exact same if we’re ignoring the concentration camps.

i love comprehending what i’ve read

Not to mention that 1.4 billion people agreeing on anything is clearly BS.

Everybody identifies with owners in 2019

Not That Complicated, Cliff Notes Version:

“If you’re going to continue to throw this extended tantrum and mislead easily- and willingly-confused Athletic columnists with nationalist grievance narratives, enjoy watching MarShon Brooks throw alley-oops to the Chairman, Yi Jianlian. That surely is far more enjoyable than…

You’re right, some good arguments on both sides there. Really makes you think.

These days, when people say complicated they often mean hard. Or just uncomfortable. But a lot of it is simple, but you have to say no. Give up some money for some dignity. Give up some privilege for some fairness. Hell, I'm not even sure it's hard, or that people doing the giving up are losing anything theyd really…

On one hand, you have the Chinese government who wants the ability to extradite residents of Hong Kong with no oversight. The same Chinese government that regularly disappears people in it’s custody, and is running literal concentration camps for ethnic minorities and political dissidents.

Complicated is short-hand for money on one side and morals on the other.
