I have never really gotten the feeling that TR or any of its sub-sites were ever about discussion or actually making a positive change in how people view or treat one another. It mostly reads like a lecture from a critical race theory class. Occasionally, there is something thought-provoking, but it’s a little rare.…

LOL

If you are thinking that you want to be an ally, then just accept that you are not in a place where “equality” or anything else resembling Enlightenment ideals is the goal. You get to shut up and do what you are told because you are white, and therefore deficient as a human. You bear guilt by association of skin…

Are there ANY mid-range or last-gen flagship Android devices left out there which have microSD slots still? 128GB of microSD flash is $40, versus additional $hundreds for phone models with it built-in. At this point, Android phones have basically become pseudo-iPhones since they are doing away with user-expandable…

Error 404: Surprise not found

So homeboy basically admits guilt in a text message exchange and then lawyers up when the consequences arrive?

Aye. But the truth is boring, and Gawkemodo is hoping to follow in its predecessor’s edgy footsteps, even if they lead straight into a 6ft deep hole in the soil.

People at that level within any organization are basically guaranteed to be pretty high on the sociopathy scale. “Normal” people do not go into those roles because no “normal” person looks at them and sees anything that would make the money or influence worth it. Normal people want to make a paycheck, enjoy some of…

When will Hollywood learn already?

Twitter made the decision to keep subjecting us to this shit.

All due process is rape until the patriarchy ends?

The outer should be prepared to take on the burden of those consequences.

And for eleven minutes, everyone in the Gizmodo media company panicked because they thought that they would be out of a job...

Are people actually surprised by this? Buying a Tesla has always been a case of spending $70k-150k to beta test the product. This was fairly obvious from the start. Tesla is developing a pretty fantastic drivetrain, and said drivetrain needs stuff around it to meet mandated safety requirements and look presentable in…

Drugs, particularly illegal ones which kill their users, have been in all poor communities for years. Middle and upper-middle class people have been saying, “Meh, it’s their fault. Animals!” about it the entire time. Nobody gives any more of a damn about meth than crack, despite it being a “poor white” drug.

That is not what is going on here. This isn’t just “junkies.” This is also malfeasance at every level of the medical and pharmaceutical industries. People are being prescribed extremely addictive painkillers for anything and everything. They may become junkies, sure, but they never should have had these medications to…

“Doing something” about things you find objectionable, and strategically taking specific proactive actions toward minimizing things you find objectionable are not the same thing. This is, I believe, Melvin’s point. Ignoring a problem obviously is not (usually) the solution, but neither is blindly “doing…

History classes everywhere can basically be summed up with this.

Limiting free speech is fascism 101.*

Yes of course corporate media is ALL brain pollution, not just the left-leaning stuff. Since this place is squarely left-leaning, I tend to comment on the particular flavor of BS that is increasingly rampant here. Sure, I could go off on the right-leaning media for its problems, but that would basically put me in the…
