What's amazing is how relatively calm Diamond Reynolds remains through the video. Obviously she loses it a couple of times, but she keeps it together to document as much as possible, and give as accurate of a testimony as she can. She even admits later that they had some weed in the car, which clearly the officer…

Also, and ladies correct me if I'm wrong, but having cavernous hard-plastic boob cups… that can't be comfortable when running around. I would think you'd want as much support as possible.

It was amazing how little reaction that 'post-op' joke got. It was like the audience released a collective, 'huh… that's the joke you're going to go with there.'

She was great and I felt like Bridgett Nelson suffered by comparison, during their segment.

That is more frightening than I expected.

I hope you don't think that I'm suggesting that writing characters that aren't from your demographic shouldn't or can't be done. Obviously, that's ridiculous.

It's certainly a frustrating position to be in as a writer, and it's unfortunate that most people take it out on the author. The real problem, of course, is that the deck is stacked in favor of white writers (as ApathyMonger points out). One could make the case that, apparently there aren't a lot of black female comic…

He will never be as interesting of a guitarist as Fred Durst: https://www.youtube.com/wat…

Conan's a very smart guy, but he always seems to underplay it, so I doubt he would weave in that allusion. The way Colbert brings up the 'blessed his story with a sneeze' is very endearing to me, because I often find myself doing that. Realizing that this feeling I'm trying to describe was perfectly articulated in…

She said, Well I'm disappointed that you're not Jon Hamm, but I'll take it.

Oh, dear lord, I wouldn't want questions from the audience. Joe or Jane Average Audience Goer has terrible questions. This was even a terrible question, it just so happened that Colbert could spin a good story about it. But if Colbert could find guests that he had a good rapport with, someone sort of like the anti-Jon…

That is a very shiny hat.

For Our Consideration: OJ did it, and that's okay.

That is, quite possibly, my favorite newspaper fuck up. Up there with some newspaper saying that Public Enemy once released a song called '9/11 is a joke'

I remember some feature in a music mag in the 90s that asked the members of Limp Bizkit for their favorite bands. All of the other members had the rap and hard rock that you would expect, but Wes Borland cited, like The Future Sound of London, which was a bit surprising. That being said, despite how much he clearly…

I was reading Murder of William of Norwich, which dealt with the origins of the blood libel against the Jews in the Middle Ages. Wrapped up in that is a lot of explanation for the political machinations behind the Crusades and how they would recruite knights, who in this case are basically thieves with a vague purpose…

"You mean for a movie?" "A what?"

"Hi I'm Sarah Koenig. This is one ringtone, told over the course of several rings, and the story it's telling you, is to answer your phone."

When you have a prehensile penis you can do a lot of things with it.

Eleanor makes some really incredible indie pop, but I miss Matt's contributions, which seemed to support concept albums despite better judgement, and a sort of mad scientist approach to pop songs. I wish those two crazy kids would get back together, but I don't think that's going to happen anytime soon.
