me either. if I had known Jeremy Renner was in it I might have gone to see it.

If I was a hygienist in this situation I would default to talking about the disgusting things about his mouth

Interesting to note that Matt Siegel went to Hampshire College with Lupita (I went to Hampshire with both of them and high school with Matt). I can't say for sure that they knew each other or were friends, but it was a small campus where pretty much everyone was at least acquaintances.

right, but she's going to brag about it to the guy who drives her husband's RV

The lack of compassion and humility here is staggering. Real Christians (as in people who strive to be like Christ) would be appalled by this.

As I've said before, I don't believe thinking that Adnan might be innocent requires Jay or Don or anyone else mentioned in the podcast must be a murderer. To be honest, Jay's whole changing narrative seems to me like it might be a stupid teenage story that got out of hand. Come on, we all knew someone who made shit…

I mean I don't think they will just give up. I'm sure that despite the fact that they couldn't get enough signatures for their petition and they had to forge them, they truly believe that most Houston residents agree with them and that they have a moral imperative to kill HERO

Fascinating story. I was especially struck by how people could not conceive of the idea of a woman passing as a man or a black person passing as a white one. It makes one wonder what rules of identity there are today that we hold to be so unassailable. What assumptions do we make about those around us based on visual…

world without burritos

for real, I can and have dealt with ghosts, but ghosts that steal my beer? dealbreaker

He had me until the no binge drinking thing. If I was having to follow this schedule I'd need to add in regular organized alcohol consumption throughout the day

I'm not sure teaching young people to balance books on their heads whilst indulging in vigorous bouts of anal is particularly useful.

I'm pretty sure on some level this is about wanting to see some people in chains

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's a textbook recipe for getting Vigo the Carpathian to fill our sewers with pink slime or something.

Well first, virtually everything I mentioned is happening in America TODAY. I'm guessing that you consider the nasty stuff we did in Iraq and Afghanistan to be "America in the past." I'm not entirely sure that it's intellectually honest to declare that the crimes of less than a decade ago don't represent contemporary…

No, I'm referring to the extremely long history of police killings, torture and imprisonment of people of color in this country and abroad. There's nothing recent about it.
