As much as I love the Stripes’ albums, seeing them live was the real thing. On the recordings, Meg’s style matches what Jack was doing. They were shooting for vibe, not perfection. Jack’s playing is just as messy on guitar as her was on drums — it’s just that people are more forgiving of that kind of blurry style for…

This is the one violent incident on the NY Subway that The Root decides to make a story out of?

Some of the newer Jez writers (especially this one) just churn out semi-coherent rage bait.

Despite the recent court ruling, the resolution’s advocates in Congress—including Pressley—argue if Congress had the power to set an arbitrary deadline for the ERA in 1972, it has the power and moral obligation, today, to change that deadline.

This argument effectively guarantees ERA will not become the 28th amendment in the next 2 generations. The Republicans at the national and state levels will never let it get to court, and it if does, it will go to a hard right judge and eventually supreme court, which will squash it even harder. They will 100% cite…

Because the focus of such an article should be on the tragic absurdity of children who would have been kept from graduating because their parents’ couldn’t pay their lunch bills and not the person who ponied up the money, as laudable as that may be.

Walgreens is worth 29.45B as of yesterday. I don’t think theyll miss 54M from a state that encourages shoplifting at all their stores. I mean really.

“Also, fuck all of the public money that goes into the sportballs.”

misogynoir?? Seriously?

Agreed with all your points.  The Academy being increasingly prepared for disruptions/fights was a foregone conclusion to anyone with a brain.  And the rest of the article was just Kylie sharing her opinion on the slap.  Again.

The horror movie part at the end is a bit of reach. We want women to be the protagonist more often and isn’t being the hero/survivor of a great horror film an okay way to do it? Alien? The Shining? Silence of the Lambs? The examples are endless.

33 percent of movies in 2022 starred women protagonists, while the rest (a whopping 67 percent) featured male protagonists. Put differently, for every three male leads out there, they’ve only got one female lead to match.

“I like my men in films the same way I like them in bed: Talking as little as possible and following orders.”

While I agree with the spirit of this article, the math errors are hard to overlook:

what for, they’re both middle aged.

“[B]ut at the end of the day, these pigs (by which I mean robo-dogs) are still cops.”

You say this as you condemn all Floridians to exile and educational banishment? Sure. I’m the one painting with too broad a brush. My mistake. And super nice ageism. I don’t know your religion, but I’m going to guess, the Church of Our Lady of Taking Yourself Too Seriously?

Did Flint care about Hinkley? Do we need ask each set of victims if they cared about a previous set? What a bizarre straw man to build.

The idea that any people, even extraordinarily idiotic ones like your supervisor seems to be, would believe that Steven Seagal could in anyway kick Bruce Lee’s ass is SO wrong that it makes me physically ill.

Also: The Coen brothers' remake of True Grit is vastly superior. It's the best Western I've ever seen.
