Looking at him reminds me of the old Nazis who were prosecuted.

This is really the way he’s going to protect his legacy? Who is giving this man legal advice? Take your LUMPS, creepy old man. Take them with some fucking grace, you aged shitheel. Allow your victims some small measure of peace; pay the price for the terrible decisions authorized by your fame-addled brain and enacted…

I understand. Plenty in the media however have given her a pass for awful shit she has said. Others have suggested if you dislike her you are transphobic. No, she’s just a total bitch and all around asshole.

But even within Religions belief can vary greatly. The United Church of Canada has had LGBTQ reverends since the nineties. The Catholic Church still believes it’s a sin.

This could be my atheist bias showing, but I don’t think it is automatically, necessarily discrimination in the way that racism is. Like, obviously Trump’s “don’t let in the muslims” thing is discriminatory, but on the other hand, I’m allowed to judge Saudi muslims for not allowing women to drive (I realize this isn’t…

Yes! That was actually the most striking thing about her comment. Completely unaware of her privilege.

Completely agreed. And I also hope that she realizes the class (and celeb) privilege that is shielding her from the kind of struggles most trans people in the US have to deal with.

Caitlyn Jenner SHOULD get more shit for her beliefs than her gender identity, since her beliefs are stupid, and she had basically nothing to do with being trans. So, yay, if that’s the way it’s going down for her.

Good. Discrimination is:

In some respects, I find Kasich even more repugnant that Trump or Cruz. At least they are upfront with their misogyny and intolerance. Kasich is a stealth bigot.

The story is a failure not just because of its almost pornographic recounting of his football career (against a cursory recounting of his crimes) but because it never answer its premise. We end 12,000 words not knowing any more about why he did what he did than we do at the start. The author talks to a couple of…

That was one of the big problems with this piece. This guy, who probably pitched this piece because he wanted to re-use the reporting/sources he had from Holtzclaw’s college football career, thought he was doing something in the vein of “Serial” or “Making A Murderer.” But he never actually investigated the case or…

That whole story was a massive awkward dump, like dropping a huge deuce at a stranger’s house party. “His body, which had been conditioned for football over the years — first as a high school All-State linebacker two hours away in his hometown of Enid, Oklahoma, and then again as a four-year starter in college at…

What does it even mean? Seriously “deserved only by” alone should have someone shit-canned.

Thank you. Maybe he figured if he buried the dippiest of dipshit ideas in that comma orgy, no one would notice how nanners it was.

I don’t think this article is saying that. Making a Murderer is about a relatively powerless individual who was railroaded by the justice system at least once, and which presents credible evidence it happened again. It is one-sided to be sure, but there is at least a plausible basis for that.

If you want to write a long story that paints a complex portrait of a villain, it is adivisable to first find a villian with some degree of complexity. Former college football player turned cop who likes to rape women ain’t exactly Richard III.

Right? I kept reading and reading, then eventually skimming whole chunks at a time, waiting for some kind of kicker - the “and then he was found innocent on appeal” moment, or the “and then I went to Oklahoma City to hear from his victims”, something to give the whole mess a point - but holy shit, it just kept going…

Count the motherfucking clauses in that sentence. Forget the horrifying shit show that was the topic, any editor who let that damn clusterfuck out the door should be fired on the spot for that alone.

I was reading it, thinking “so ok when are they going to say anything at all other than just that everyone who knew Holtzclaw seven years ago thinks he couldn’t have done this.” The last sentence was like the writer thought to himself, “wait oops I can’t sound too much like I’m supporting this guy, throw in a sentence…
