I have weirdly mixed feelings about this. It reads a lot like an academic turf war of sorts. Like, too bad Lawrence Wright picked a scholar to interview who’s so old and out of touch, or who isn’t on the same page as this other scholar. So much of academia involves really smart people picking the living daylights out…

As an optimist I have to point out that intermittent Larson is better than no Larson.

Thanks for not making this a slideshow. 

I would assume that the “possession of tools” charge is about them having those tools with them in a public space with the proven intent to commit vandalism or graffiti.

Left to right: Norma Shearer, Joan Fontaine, Rosalind Russell, Paulette Goddard, and Mary Boland.

Shut up about the sun! SHUT UP ABOUT THE SUN!!

Strike that, reverse it. =D

She wasn’t terrified...she was entitled.  

And this is why we want gun control in this country. Because there is no way that mentally unstable people should own guns. 

If she hadn’t been carrying a gun, she wouldn’t have reached for a gun to solve a dispute. Guns don’t make anything better, they make people’s bad moments worse.

If you become so terrified during a VERBAL argument that you need to pull your gun out and point it at someone then you’re mentally unstable and should forfeit your right to every owning a gun legally again

So what? Why do you say that like it matters? When you make excuses like this, you’re essentially saying that you are okay with police officers being less able to deal with a belligerent public than a 15-year-old McDonald’s employee.

O.J. and Neilsen together being the common thread tying “Poseidon” and “Inferno” into the greater Zucker, Abrahams and Zucker cinematic universe.

To be fair, Hanks’s real life didn’t feature hookers, drugs and sex with donkeys. Belushi, on the other hand...

Maybe it really is time we stop giving white people who seek to weaponize the police against Black people cutesy little nicknames like “BBQ Becky” or “Central Park Karen.”

Here’s what gets me about the AV Club. They’re all about being kind and understanding and progressive (which is a good thing), but underneath it there’s still this subdermal layer of nastiness with stuff like this. Yes, this person is acting foolishly, but why tape it and share it? And if you’re a successful media…

Whenever I do anything stupid in public—or something gross, like picking my nose or farting- I worry some asshole is going to record it on their phone and upload it to YouTube.

Thank you. Wasps would never have a house that tacky, a wife over 129 lbs and they only keep guns for quail hunting and suicide.

OK. First of all, fuck you for trying to muddy up the waters by claiming that the protesters were chanting to “burn it all down” or were specifically threatening these people or their home. That is not true. That is a lie and you are garbage.

But you are more than garbage, you are stupid. You are using the scraps of…

It can be two things.
