Did you read his apology statement? He says he’s sorry for his delay, that his past sketches are “embarrassing,” that he never once considered that him doing a recurring bit in blackface would be interpreted as anything other than him impersonating someone (and wearing make up to look like that person), and then takes…

I do also want to add that Fight Club being listed here as a “drama celebrating unbridled masculinity” and “The Man Show” being considered satire when it was not makes my brain explode. Admittedly, many of the Palahniuk-obsessed dudebros of the era also totally missed that it’s a gay man’s commentary on the…
I don’t know how old Hazel is but your memory of that time period is spot-on and I think that’s part of why this analysis lands wrong for some of us — the early 2000s were a dark fucking time to be a woman, and Jimmy Kimmel and Adam Corolla fed that culture and were fed by it in kind. Adam Corolla got sucked in…
It doesn’t really change the fact that the insistence that Kimmel and Corolla were trolling all of us and their “Man Show” personas were merely satirical is false and revisionist. Adam Corolla is very much still Adam Corolla from “The Man Show,” except like his Loveline buddy Dr. Drew, has gotten even more…
Jesus. I have been saying this for more than a decade of my life and will continue to say it despite how often it gets me yelled at by people who want to believe that all porn is ethical and it never harms a soul because they don’t want a side of ethical guilt with their creampies: the porn industry CANNOT BE ALLOWED…
Yeah, this review totally misses the mark. It is literally about how certain quintessential “American” foods came to be absorbed into “American cuisine” and how they may have changed along the way. Each of these foods being absorbed into “American cuisine” is also the story of immigrants assimilating into America.…
It also ignores pretty strong evidence that more cops equal less crime: https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2019/2/13/18193661/hire-police-officers-crime-criminal-justice-reform-booker-harris
This 100%. Not only do most city/county/town councils send out regular newsletters letting you know when they’re meeting and what’s on the agenda, YOU CAN RUN TO SIT ON THAT COUNCIL. You can speak at these meetings, they generally always make time for public comments. Community councils are on so many of these lists…
Obama spoke the truth in his statement on Medium — people in general do not pay attention to local elections, so they have no idea who their city or county prosecutor is, who their local executives are, couldn’t care less about who is running for mayor. The police unions and police departments care a great deal. The…
This isn’t entirely true — Google “USAir Flight 5050 controversy” for more info.
So, are you complaining about systemic issues in policing, or the fact that they did not solve The Mysterious Case of Your Husband’s Stolen Tires?
What are the cops supposed to do, put all of their detectives on the case of your missing tires and start spot-checking the serial numbers on tires on every car in the zip code?! Have a whole team of people patrol Craigslist and go through the tires in each junk yard in the area? If you got an insurance payout, cool.…
In the United States, how much training is required varies greatly because there’s no centralization or standardization, even by region. Less training required = less pay. There are plenty of police departments around the United States that require at least a 4-year degree in criminal justice to even get your foot in…
Unfortunately with King, I think the issue is less that the rural whites are starting to question white supremacy or pine for reps who meet the lowest bars of political decorum — they’re farmers and relied on King to represent their agricultural interests in the House. His overt racism (specifically questioning why…

Oh Lord, please don’t let me be misunderstood
So, Tara Reid gets credit for all the times she has been asked the time and given them the correct time? Wow. Does Ted Bundy get credit for all the people he didn’t kill?
Except a Juris Doctorate is a grad degree and her bachelor’s degree from Antioch is a lie. So, is a grad degree legit if you didn’t complete the coursework that was necessary for you to even be accepted to law school?
[citation needed]
You’re talking in circles. Tara Reade’s story, when you dig into it, is that not only has she lied about “little details” (like why she left her job at Joe Biden’s office, by my count there are at least 5 explanations that have been given) or things you could attribute to her sexual assault (such as the date and exact…
