You lost me with that first insane paragraph. He didn’t shine the light on shit. All he did was dim the light on actual victims because now people are going to say "well, you're probably just lying like Jussie". 

Accept that doesn’t appear to have been his motive. If it were, there are better, non-criminal ways to work toward that end.

Is it brave when a woman files a false police report claiming she was raped in order to highlight the epidemic of violence against women? This is not a brave move that highlights things like this happen - they already do happen and now real victims will be scrutinized all that much more. All that deliberately staged…

Except thats not how it will work out. Now every actual hate crime will be met with even more skepticism. He has single handedly put back dealing with hate crimes more then any hate group could have ever hoped to with his reckless false allegations.

I, too, would never be brave enough to stage a fake hate crime, file a false police report, and re-victimize every real victim by making it that much harder to be believed in the future.

On a very minor side note, they’ve ruined red baseball caps. I looked good in my red baseball cap; now it just sits there, wondering what it’s done wrong and why we never hang out anymore.

I argue that he and the others were doing exactly what the school sent them there to do, so of course no one stepped in to extract them from the situation.

Pretty sure Deadspin’s The Concourse already covered this. The whole video shows exactly who we thought the villains were. Shitty little racist kids.

No, I’m done, I’ve have it. This kid and his friends are being treated like fucking royalty by Republicans and right-wingers, while the Parkland School shooting survivors are still being insulted and mocked by the same people praising these kids. Fuck this shit. Dead kids? Who cares. Survivors? Who cares. Catholic…

She didn’t change her mind.

Yea, I was just begin reductive in my criticism of the reductive way left and right are thrown around.

Oh my gawd, this is such a soft gloved treatment. These are some of her most tepid quotes, and she was on this as her main issue for YEARS.

You can’t imagine there being negative consequences of changing a unique id in a database system? One that other developers also use through sony’s api’s? As a developer, I can confidently say that you aren’t imagining hard enough (or at all). It makes infinitely more sense to just add a new field for display name.…

SIDEBAR: There is nothing in news media more inherently worthless than these five-panel political “discussions.”

The one time it’s actually about ethics in games journalism, and he goes with the KotakuInAction defense. Almost too perfect.

Buy guns, y’all.

I don’t think anyone needs to watch a documentary to understand why people might find Apu unfunny or offensive. The problem I have with Kondabolu’s position is not that he holds it, but that he seems to think that he’s a pure representative of Indian-Americans. This notion that if one person with a platform finds…

When I first saw KOMO’s “Terrorism Alert Desk” I had to do a triple-take to make sure Fox News didn’t somehow hijack Seattle’s ABC affiliate. Now I only trust the local news to report the weather-until they’re forced to go full-on denial mode about the effects of global warming.

Every asshhole who didn’t vote last time is as guilty as every Trump Voter. Vote dammit.

You say you’d be willing to pay a “Switch tax,” but every consumer behavior over the last 20 years would suggest that no, you really wouldn’t.
