I wonder if the book tackles my personal favorite little never-elaborated-on-nugget:

My 7 year old niece has devised a chart where she puts stickers on squares that are numbered. The numbers correspond to a list of misogynistic hot phrases she hears at school, on TV, from my mother, etc. When her chart is full she hands it to the closest adult and demands $20 for Space Camp.

It is striking to me that our chief idiot is using the same argument as Pill Cosby’s defenders.

Darker, Gayer, Different.

While I’m not a huge fan of watching people get hit in the nuts myself, I’m also not a fan of when people state that they’ve never seen any part of a show, but then assert that anyone who liked it is a bad person. The people who liked watching the show didn’t like watching people get hurt, they liked watching people

It’s even more disrespectful because Prince gave the single greatest halftime show in history.

Timberlake somehow manages to remain distinctly puncheable even to this day. He has that annoying “I don’t know what I’m doing wrong, I’m just trying to bring joy to the world” smug face of someone who very much knows why they’re a git but won’t just own up to it.

Officials in Fairfax, Virginia released a video on Wednesday of a 2017 police shooting where cops fired on the 25-year-old driver, whose family says he was unarmed, nine times at close range after he fled the scene of a minor traffic accident earlier that evening.

Never trust anyone who speaks in superlatives.

That video was the most mind-blowing shit I had seen up to that point, and since. Absolute pinnacle of street skateboarding in my opinion. Great article.

Now playing

The original builder of this also built this:

His opinion is the same as the opinion of the most recent person in his field of vision who praised him. So he has a lot of opinions. All the opinions. And, like a windsock flapping in the howling gale of validation he constantly needs, they’re inconstant and omnidirectional.

That’s too much screen.

lol

The whole Winnebago scene may have been one of the best executed action sequences ever put to film.

Thank you, Sean. Please do more of these.

I am truly sorry this happened to you and hope you can find some way, any way, to live life without considering the harm done to you. Humans are terrible creatures.
