Already knew this was going to be here:

Interesting. Of course this break in the food supply chain (however brief) will have the greatest effect on those least able to miss a meal. A disturbing example of the compounding negative effect maximizing private business profits has on the poor. 

OK, I’ve now seen this. My thoughts:

People with mental illness are far more likely to be the victims of violence than the perpetrators of it.

What happens [in Las Vegas] stays there, we’re frequently told, but what about the untold stories that end badly? The Hangover doesn’t really run with that idea. In fact, once it establishes its promising premise, Todd Phillips’ film doesn’t really run anywhere so much as amble... It’s a neat idea used as little more…

It’s super weird how multiple people are fixated on your line about the Aurora shooter even though whether not that shooter actually styled himself “the joker” doesn’t really change the part about why this movie could be seen as troubling in the way it has the potential to lionize the idea of a mentally-ill person…

I thought The Hangover was funny enough, but that Dowd line was probably funnier.

The Grand Forks Herald review and the “review of a review” saga that followed was one of my favorite moments in internet history. There was even a local angle to the snark, since Grand Forks is in roughly my same corner of the world. It was one of the better snark-shaming moments in recent memory. Basically, a local…

I wouldn’t go with stale and tired. Certainly not breaking the big stories as a sector leader, and definitely edited by men, for men. A friend and I are keeping a running tab of the stories about men they think are worthy of “above the fold,” while stories about women go much lower and tend to the stereotypical. Okay,…

“Come on, we were just having a little fun,” said every privileged white male through the ages.

Surprised that there wasn’t much mention of Chris Evans here.

Daniel Craig was absolutely delightful in Logan Lucky, so I’m starting to think he enjoys spreading his wings beyond the Bond franchise, particularly with roles that use some sort of southern accent.

Even tabling the topic at hand, Kevin Hart is doing the most aggravating thing in the world when you’re trying to make an intelligent point. That thing where you keep interrupting and playing dumb, which forces you to pause on the point you were trying to make, go back about 15 spaces, and argue some really obvious…

If there’s one thing I could tell Kevin Hart to do in this admittedly too-short clip, it would be to quit trying to be the loudest, funniest guy in the room for a second and just listen. Just shut up and listen. This person is sitting there trying to tell you about something very close to him that coincidentally cost…

What I thought of Jeremy Renner before this summer: Who? Oh yeah, Hawkeye. Wasn’t he nominated for an Oscar too? Most have some decent acting chops.

Well the trail just began, so all of the evidence hasn’t been presented yet. Doesn’t matter what you think at this point, the prosecution has to prove, beyond reasonable doubt, that the baby was born alive, and then prove that she willfully killed the baby. This article is REALLY light on details- I wouldn’t draw any…

Yes, you can depict mass shootings. No, you can’t make the shooters the protagonists. This reads like they would be protagonists. If not, fine. But this reads like it.

“We’ve got $20B to blow, fuck it, just buy everything.”

The fact there are earnest users of the Jeremy Renner app is the real story of this post. 

Just when I start to think I have a decent handle on the world, I find out there’s not only a Jeremy Renner app, but also, apparently, an audience for it.
