RAPE JOKE TRIGGER WARNING

My dad had to do this with not just his mother, but his two toxic sisters too. After his dad died, he had no tie to his side of the family any more. I remember we were constantly either not talking to them or, when we were talking, we were fighting. 10 years ago he said he was 100% done, and hasn’t spoken to them…

First of all, this is the best article ever! Dick webs! Fusty boomer pissbaby! Although I wish I hadn’t read the part where David Brooks used the word “sexiness” in reference to a seder, because what the hell kind of seders are you going to, Brooks? I have been to a lot of seders (53 1/2) and there was never the…

In the years since, he has been a reliable producer of out-of-touch, tissue-thin pronouncements on the perils of our secularized, technologized 21st century lives, virtually all of which rightly can be interpreted as passive-aggressive nostalgia for what Family Circus comics told him “outdoors” might have been like…

I met someone from Germany a few moths ago. He said his mother was part of a "Hitler Youth Group" but it wasn't so horrible because all the teenagers were in that which I find hard to believe. Then he said Hitler "wasn't so bad" because he did "some good things" for Germany before he got an STD which resulted in him…

Perhaps this is an opportunity for you to broaden your perspective. While you might believe that she is being overly-dramatic, in the grand scheme of things, her words are very relevant to what has happened and is happening in the US. Some communities, especially those of color, have repeatedly experienced police…

I’ll admit that woman made a pretty stupid statement, and the state of the American educational system is fucked, but goddamn, I’m tickled pink to read a comment from a German who, without a trace of irony or self-awareness, states that he wants someone arrested for saying what she thinks. Great shit, man. Thanks for…

This Pissing Contest is making me feel super lame because I have no good stories, just your garden variety sleeping around and making bad decisions and crying a lot.

“Forgive me please, but that’s what you get when you play with people’s emotions.”

Rage, Rage, Rage, against the dying of the pike.

You are saying that summary execution is a just consequence for running for your life in America. Is that what you mean to be saying? Because it's what you are saying.

black cops can be bad, too. when minority cops kill minority citizens, they're still the tool of the majority.

Actually, both men served in the Coast Guard. Guess how many stories mention that the victim served compared to those mentioning the murderer served?

Because I know that someone in the comments will talk about how dangerous it is to be a police officer, just wanting to come home alive, etc.

It is more dangerous to be employed as a landscaper in America than it is to be employed as police officer. This is a fact that is true and is verifiable.

Wow. Wow.

Great piece, and only one small quibble. Rovell is not "harmless". His worldview is profoundly nihilistic and destructive, which itself isn't a problem, but becomes one when he incessantly peddles it to his x00,000 followers (he blocked me long ago, so I can't look up his stats). He's a sociopath with a large platform.

Okay, honesty time: How many of us would actually pull over and stop on the freeway for a black Monte Carlo with no police badging and tiny police-looking lights that's running you off the road in a very unprofessional way? I know I wouldn't. I would get the fuck out of there, and if he kept pursuing, I would pull…

You dated Newt Gingrich?

Gawd, I knew I would find this in the comments. The fact that it's feminists who are criticizing him the most proves that, once again, feminists are feminism's worst enemies. We say we want allies but I guess by "allies", we mean "silent masochistic punching bags". It's kinda sad when you're just as disgusted by the…

Everytime I hear stories like this it only furthers my belief that the rules for training young children how to behave properly are the same as training a dog.
