So, 100% this woman should not be in jail, and the justice system is racist and broken, and the man who was murdered was committing rape.

The intersection between incredibly racist and incredibly funny has been found. This is the dumbest, most offensive, most entertaining, funnest shit I’ve ever seen. I worked 70 hours this week and couldn’t be happier to watch a wife beater call a racist irishman an “eejit” for some reason, while the irishman screams…

A useful model if you’re thinking of doing this are the 2012 Student protests in Quebec. There were about 120 days of nightly protests which eventually led to the government calling elections and losing them. Looking at that organizational model might be useful in getting ideas on how to mobilize people for…

A bite, I’m pretty sure. Though imagine if he was a cockroach suicide bomber. We’d need a strong President to take care of that shit, close the borders down and everything.

Re: Cockroaches

I do a reverse Mike Pence and call her “my love, my dearest, my heart’s burning desire”.

Ecclestone is garbage. I live in Montreal, and every year its the same thing: tells us he’s going take the F1 out of the city if he doesn’t get more tax breaks, calls feminist demonstrators attacking the fact that Montreal becomes a meat market in F1 season a bunch of sluts and whores, and so on.

English is my second language! That was a misspelling!

It’s hard to say who I’ll be rooting for in this fight: The 1st Gen Westworld Sexbot or the Guy Who Kisses His Dad On The Lips All The Time?

When I finished my MA in a field related to China 5-6 years ago, my thesis director told me in answer to my question about the road ahead: hey! you should just take a plane ticket and go live in Beijing. Within six months you’re bound to find a job.

It’s nice to see that sex-bots have evolved to such an extent. It almost looks like a real human.

That’s a totally valid point. And I think it’s part of the issue. And I agree that bad things happen when the powerful put on the mantle of victimhood, as you very precisely and artfully put it.

Perhaps I wasn’t clear. I meant that someone like Trump, a hateful individual, using the concept of the safe space to say: you can’t criticize me. He’s taking the tools developed by people who were trying to do good, and flipping it around to oppress people.

You’ve hit the nail on the head.

There’s always been a difference between “shut the fuck, you’re being an idiot” and: “You can’t/don’t have a right to say something.” I’m fine with the former and despise the latter. The original idea of fighting back against casual forms of bigotry in speech was a good one.

Pretty scary stuff. Unions are an option, certainly, and I would never discourage anyone from joining a union.

The good thing about soccer players is that they remind me that conspiracy theories a bunch of a baloney. If four players can be grievously injured by a single plastic water bottle, then surely there was only one shooter in Dallas that fateful day.

Following that stroke, the tennis ball made a statement to the local Stockholm newspaper: “While I understand some may believe the violence committed on me to be unjust, I, for one, have come out of my ordeal having empathized with my aggressor.”

Totally. At least Canadian media seems to be waking to the fact that he speaks big game, but in practice is continuity with the previous regime, except for a few details.

As a maple-sucker myself, this is really pathetic and condescending. Also, untrue!
