Of course I realize American culture and artists dominate the globe. I haven’t seen a Canadian film this year and I might not have ever seen one. Whatever.

The thing is... if you book Kanye for a show and the rest of the lineup is what it is... he is the obvious headliner and to put him anywhere else is not only…

I usually only use “buried the lede” jokingly, but this bill looks to have much further-reaching implications than the title implies.

“The bill specifically protects those who believe that marriage is between “one man and one woman” or that “sexual relations are properly reserved to such a marriage.””

This seems to…

That would not end up being a balanced exchange given the paucity of unwed mothers in leadership positions in corporations nationwide, or close to it. Nevermind how acceptable one group is to castigate in public versus the other.

Who is performing at the event that is even CLOSE to Kanye’s popularity? It is ridiculous to assume that the highest paid, most popular performer at an event like this wouldn’t be the headliner. When does that happen? If RHCP or Radiohead were the headliner I doubt there would be a petition, I’ll say that, and I bet…

Prescription pills are simply treated very differently under the law because they’re legal and the companies that make them are powerful. By the letter of the law you’re correct but in practice these offenses are often handled much more lightly unless you’re stealing the pills from the wrong people. But most drug…

Kanye is a douche but the backlash against him has long been way over the top and I believe rooted in plausible deniability for many of his detractors.

This choice is money.

lol if you think 2 teams are competing for the AFC South title this year. Unless Luck is on tape deflating footballs I doubt it.

I will never forget Lulemon’s founder admitting that he came up with the name because of the difficulty some Asian immigrants have making ‘l’ sounds. With that sort of casual racism baked into the foundation of the company, nothing here is surprising. Of course they don’t give a fuck about people.

So we can’t have jokes over breakfast anymore? Is that the sort of America you envision?

She should get, “I should’ve Googled it before getting it tattooed on my body forever,” tattooed on her body forever.

There is a huge problem with COs and other authority figures raping women inmates, and it is rarely prosecuted. I remember a case in Louisiana where a juvenile had gotten pregnant in custody and the warden was basically saying a lot of sluts come through his detention center. If she was in custody, she was raped. A…

Teens are so damn dumb.

There HAS been significant reform of the crack-cocaine sentencing disparity, though it doesn’t make sense to acknowledge that the disparity doesn’t make sense and reduce it rather than eliminating it. But that in and of itself illustrates the challenge of getting anything done in criminal justice reform without a…

Gay marriage was a huge turning point in the battle for civil rights for LGBT individuals, but there is so far to go.

I’m interested to see how this aspect of the culture war will play out in 2016. I think it’s a loser in the presidential race but how many seats in Congress will it win?

When did he have a real opportunity? He had to position for reelection in the first term, his party never held Congress during his 2nd term, and when push comes to shove it is hard to get congressmen to vote yea on criminal justice reform.

I am not a lawyer but real criminal justice reform can’t be done by executive order and lol the current congress so =/

A huge part of ending rape culture is making it culturally unacceptable to EVER joke about rape.

Iggy is proud of finally being able to hold her own over a one-hour dinner. I really can’t even.

The FBI could potentially look at the case as a violation of civil rights and pursue bringing federal charges against an assailant, suing the city or police force, or some combination of the three. These laws were put in place specifically to combat the sort of issue you’re referring to - it’s reactionary and isn’t…
