The US’ premier motorcycle brand, which is going through convulsions due to economic policies plus massive changes in its customer base and business strategy, is worthy of coverage.

I tell you what, if a high school principal asked my teenage daughter to unzip her zipped jacket so he could see what she was wearing, he and the district would have been slapped with a lawsuit so fast and hard their teeth would have flown out of their heads. Asking a teenage girl to unzip her jacket? What a fucking…

I looked up the principal and he looks exactly like you’d expect him to look. Pulling girls out of class because you want to confirm they aren’t wearing something slutty under their zipped jacket is so insane I can’t even comment. However, I will point out that this administration could have saved themselves so much…

This says he consented to a search, although, I would argue that he probably consented because the implication was that he would be taken in and booked (or much worse) if he didn’t. At this point in this country, based on the way practically every police officer responds to anyone (especially a POC) refusing to…

“Titties cause sin” - Hebezekiel 4:20

In America, speedos are generally considered the stereotypical European men's swim suits.

It’s kind of amazing how a bunch of people who just barely stop short of fucking the constitution will quickly dispense with those protections for anyone they don’t like.

Look, Mrs. K isn’t going to like seeing “OnlyFans” on our credit card statement but if she asks, “Killa’, what’s Twitch?” she’ll only be upset that I’m paying to watch people play video games.

There’s a shit ton of stuff on Twitch that has nothing to do with being related to gaming. It stopped being a purely gaming-related space a looong, long time ago.

In fact, they are specifically taking advantage of one of the changes to Twitch’s dress code policies from just over a year ago (posted April 2020)

Call me crazy, but I would, through tools and/or by hand, put channels in different buckets based on their content and the profile of their viewers and then have people who buy advertisement space on Twitch chose in what bucket / combination of buckets they want their ads to go.

This is probably going to end up being an unpopular opinion but...

While I get how insidious it was that the more harmful menthols were marketed to Black people, it does seem suspicious that the only thing people are talking about actually doing is banning the one type of cigarette that Black smokers apparently flocked to.

Fuck this let adults do what they want to their bodies. And bring back flavored smokes as well, because if cotton candy vodka exists why not izmir stingers from camel? This is just going to criminalize something new so more people can get in trouble with the authorities.

Everyone who started smoking Newports because they got tired of handing out cigarettes to people bumming them are going to be pissssssssst. 

I think the big question for this measure is whether menthol actually makes smoking worse in some way or is just a flavor black consumers use in their tobacco when they do smoke. We don’t want a policy equivalent to fighting heart disease and obesity by banning hot sauce (i.e., banning black tastes), not least because…

I tell these stories, and my partner gets very loud about how this is all actually illegal in Canada, and people -will- call CPS. I’m like, “That’s great, but I’m teaching your kids to make food, do laundry, and clean because I am not doing all this work.”

I was left to my own devices by the age of about six, with my…

I’m not quite a boomer (53) but I frequently think about all the things we did that kids are not allowed to do today, or at least discouraged from doing. Like riding a bicycle without a helmet, eat peanuts, walk a half mile to school alone in 4th grade, or wait for the bus without adults at the end of our lane in 1st…

Gen-X, the generation of latch key children. My Mom worked while she was putting herself through college, so yeah, my sisters and I were left alone regularly.
I know I started watching neighborhood kids when I was about 9 or 10. 

Yeah, I was thinking - Nine?  By then I was a latch-key kid who routinely had a couple hours to my self every day.  By ten, I was staying at home by myself every day during the summer.
