hes worse than that, hes one of those lunatic “libertarians” who are really just republicans who dont go to church. he sells respectability politics to the ignorant who think that they can overcome massive structural problems in the system just by following a bunch of unhelpful gimmick phrases( hes kind of Dave…

They used to have more fun. Now they’re just more jaded.

Someone should fucking challenge Marbury vs. Madison just to fuck with them. Love to see if Thomas is enough of a shithead to try to undo the purpose of the Supreme Court.

Replace “holiday” with “thing” and I think you’ve hit the target. Every single fucking thing in this country is refracted through a funhouse mirror labeled “capitalism.” If someone can’t make a buck out of it, it may as well not exist.

Prequel a fancy word for we are gonna give you some strait up garbage because we want to make more money out of this finished story. There are millions of great books with great stories. Make some great movies out of those. 

that nerdy (or whatever) kid getting to fuck a gorgeous woman is the premise of the entire movie industry. 

To me the big reason it didn’t land with audience is that in 1987 the Warren Beatty-Dustin Hoffman pairing wasn’t funny in the way that viewers of the time expected, both way too mannered and image-conscious. With Steve Martin and Bill Murray it would have killed

Every movie these days is the ‘best’ and ‘emotional’ and full of the crowd cheering. I’m so thrilled to live in an age where every blockbuster film is better than the last and absolutely not just a Moneygoround fueled by clicks and nostalgia. 

Why does he need a path back to the career he had before his misconduct became public? There are hundreds, hell thousands of people performing comedy across the country. Why does he get to resume his fame before we consider some (or all) of them for his slots? 

It’s interesting how my own views of that album have changed over the years. I’m 39, so probably in the middle age-wise for RHCP fans. I started listening to them when I was probably about 12, which would have been 1995. Until I was probably 25 BSSM was probably my favorite album of theirs. Since then my opinion of it…

Maybe it’s just me being grumpy lately, but can we at least acknowledge that the man did a good thing without picking apart the motives? Motives can matter, but right now? Where so many people’s rights are in jeopardy from the republican party and every little bit fucking counts regardless of where it comes from or…

I feel like when The Walking Dead started there was an attempt to portray a “realistic” vision of what would happen in the situation where the dead came back and started eating people. Fiction, to be sure, but there was a kind of realism.

I never thought parents should be able to opt their kids out of ANYTHING in school. Parents have too much power. Like the God-botherer parents who opt their kids out of sex ed. School exists to educate children IN SPITE OF their parents. Just because YOU’RE an ignorant boor who was failed by your parents, doesn’t mean…

This is impressive and badly needed. Thank you to The Root.

I can only speak for myself but I know when I need to learn about true blackness and black people I listen to the podcast of a man who watched people eat donkey penis on Fear Factor.

I have always thought that diversity in casting will be when default stops being white

I think the word “debate” elevates what Stockton (et al.) is doing in a way that is detrimental to the parts of the subject that actually ought to be discussed. Big ups to Kareem and Det for calling a thing, a thing, but having to do so is hardly advancing our understanding either.

Says something about how fucked up America is that it costs money & personal effort to correct something that never should have been legal in the 1st place.

While largely symbolic, it would be really good to have a big timeline of when these neighborhoods were all established. Then take that data and make a growth map to visually show everywhere that it was illegal to be Black relative to where current housing sits and how much of that housing has been handed down…
