It’s just too bad people got pissy and refused to see the movie.

it’s a win-win for booker, cause there are many studies using MJ, so pharma is already kind of in on it. It’d make their ability to produce treatments less audited, less stigmatized (I know a coordinator for one of the studies and it is a fucking nightmare to run a study with a drug that’s federally banned…

Booker is pushing this because Big Pharma wants to be in the marijuana business. This is the same man who voted against cheaper drug prices just a few months ago; they own him. Booker wakes up every morning wondering how he can be the next corporate Democrat to thoroughly alienate his base and lose to Trump in a…

or this will allow the pharmacy industry to start cashing in on that sweet sweet weed money.

White people are allowed to be “good kids” no matter how old and no matter how criminal.

The system that was in place in Africa pre-european contact was a vastly different system than the one Europeans use. It’s disingenuous to do the whole pointing fingers “They did it first bullshit.”

If every term is usurped by some theoretical group without being eventually reclaimed back into the zeitgeist, then I supposed you’d be correct.

Don’t be cute. Just because they didn’t invent a word out of whole cloth, you can’t pretend that they haven’t made a concerted and very recognizable effort to usurp the term exclusively as an insult against left leaning individuals. Cuckold has also existed for quite some time; are you going to try and tell me that…

I don’t see the big deal. Baron Trump is 12-years-old and I don’t think The Donald has ever met him.

That baby needs to get out of the NICU, pull himself up by his bootstraps and get a goddamn job! #nofreeloadingbabies

oh jesus, they’re absolutely going to have “it’s not rape, they’re actually in love, she never said no” bullshit storylines. time to start drinking.

No.

At least in the circles I’m in, a lot of this comes from not trusting D&D because of what’s happened in ever single time they’ve altered the GoT story to try and be more topical:

Right? I’m sure it’ll be fine. Benioff & Weiss would never.

Right, the problem seems to be that this pair in particular has proven themselves incredibly tone-deaf in their handling of sensitive issues, regardless of how interesting their premise might be (it’s mildly interesting).

First of all, if you can’t even manage to get the announcement right then I don’t know what right you think you have to ask people to reserve judgement or have faith in you to get the actual show right. This is a tiny spec in a great big deal of what they’re creating and they botched it horribly.

Nahh, these guys have no experience writing in white saviors into their works. It won’t be that!

I always thought an interesting alternate history would be one where Reconstruction actually continued, and all the freed slaves got their 40 acres and a mule.

Words cannot express how horribly bad of an idea this show is right now. I mean, these are smart people- do they lack any sense?

Yeah, I think its noteworthy that anytime someone has been persecuted over criminal police actions, its been a POC or a woman. If your a white male officer or leader, you are safe.
I think we can both be upset with the police and upset at the systems that only punish minority police officers or leaders within the…
