That’s splitting hairs - Sandusky was investigated for child abuse in 1999, which led to his resignation but the DA declined to prosecute; this was well known even at the time of the scandal. What’s come to light is that Paterno had been personally receiving reports about Sandusky from victims since the 1970s and…

I’d like to shake that guy’s hand.

MSU, “Ya, fuck Penn State.”

To be fair, he did receive an extremely long sentence in a 7'x3'x2' cell. Straight down.

I don’t think it’s actually that unreasonable to suggest that nobody should have anything to do with any form of college fottball as long as Penn State is allowed to participate.

Counterpoint: the most batshit part of Paterno is that HBO was willing to spend an obscene amount of money making a movie that tries to vindicate the legacy of a man whose own exculpatory account had been shown to be completely false long before the release of the film.

Thank you Penn State. In one of the most decisive times in America, we can all find common ground as we come together to say, ‘fuck every last one of you.’

Joe Paterno should have gone to jail. Straight up.

The Paterno family is always willing to go the Second Mile to deny their complicity in Sandusky’s crimes.

I’m pretty sure NYC is Lenni Lenape territory. San Francisco is stolen/occupied Ohlone lands. Chicago is the homelands to Algonquian tribes. Atlanta is Creek and Muskogee lands. The metro Phoenix area, which includes Scottsdale, another culture vulture mecca, and Tucson are occupied O’odham lands. The name of Tucson…

When the author scuttles back to Brooklyn, is she aware that the land there is equally sacred, and that she’s using it without awareness of those who lived there before European contact? There isn’t any place in the Americas where this isn’t true, whether or not there are walking, talking reminders of that fact.

I stopped reading at “At the same time that Santa Fe and Taos undergo a massive and perhaps irreversible gentrification process.” FFS, Taos is a goddamned ski resort and has been an artist colony since 1899. Georgia O’Keeffe moved to Santa Fe in 1984. Both these places were gentrified before this person was even born.…

Out there, on the internet somewhere, there’s a lengthy article written by a born and raised Brooklynite talking about their neighborhood being overrun with a scourge of bloggers from New Mexico.

It takes me weeks back in Brooklyn to recover.

FUCKING SPOT ON SISTER.

I KNOW you’re not new here, so your confusion confuses me. I mean, this is kind of their jam?

No fucking kidding. How about instead of bashing her for climbing herself out of the pits of hell, we fucking congratulate her for coming out on top.

Nah. He took it down and apologized in the niqab time...

what are the chances he loses hijab

That scene where the guy invites Robert Graysmith into his basement is petrifying.
