Mr. West,

I feel like you could’ve helped progress the process of not tying everything Osaka does back to that moment by not using the entire final paragraph of this article to tie Osaka’s actions in this unrelated match that didn’t even feature Williams back to that moment.

to keep tying Osaka to that fiasco is unfair ... Ideally, as Osaka gets older, the only reason she and Williams will be compared to each other is for the number of titles they’ve each won.

No one took any responsibility. The Caller, which publishes all sorts of bigotry with regularity, essentially just played the victim. The other two just denied it. The comically bigoted “Western Civilization” think-tank, which I bet couldn’t define that term in a neutral way if anyone asked them, tossed some bigotry…

Probably because he’s a conservative hack dressed in libertarian clothes trying to get black people to buy into supply-side economics, racial pseudoscience and the merit myth.

There’s a reason why UFC fighters don’t die while boxers do much more frequently:

Fully concur, except to say that both horses and pigeons are fantastic animals to have, if your lifestyle / geography permits. Ask Ghost Dog or Mike Tyson.

“I would never be brave enough to do what Jussie did. He put his personal freedom at stake and shined a light into some dark corners that need cleaning. In a way, I’m proud of him. Because it doesn’t necessarily matter that this event didn’t happen. It matters that it could happen. That’s the real issue here. So good…

I hope it goes away soon. I’m not going to link to it here, but there’s a looong National Review piece today that’s basically using the Jussie Smollett thing as a trojan horse for an “intellectual” takedown of anything progressive. So that’s the new conversation we’ll have to have, as opposed to this being about a…

I hung on as long as I could, but I’m officially out. Fuck this dude. Also, I’d advise any MAGA people to fuck off as well considering one of your own was just arrested for trying to murder Democratic politicians and non-Trump sycophants in the media.

Put me down for, “I was hacked by my black friends, who were kidding.”

It’s amazing how this irrelevant, powerless junior congressperson (as internet commenters full-throatedly insist she is at every opportunity) has got conservatives in such a tizzy. I thought she wasn’t important? Which was it? 

When someone has something real to say, but some toad interviewer wants to control their narrative and put them in a box, sometimes the only way to regain control of the message, is to goad the toad until it hops.

He seems like he knows what he's talking about and is confident. You think being smart is arrogant?

You mean Ben “militant gay agenda”, “Jews in Name only” Shapiro? The little dwarf who said native Americans conrtibutions were “dreamcatchers, tomahawks and cannibalism”?

Let me amend my last statement. If you defend criminals like Crowley or bastards like Hoyer, Schumer and the rest against actual humans like Ocasio-Cortez or Omar or Sanders you work on behalf of the enemy. You do work for the enemy.

Great. So now we get to watch that POS grandstanding drama queen Lindsay Graham open an investigation that’ll ignore the belief, backed with some pretty damn strong evidence, of the FBI and the intelligence community that, aside from being completely unfit for office, Trump is under the direct control of Vladimir…

a “narrative”.

OK Alex Jones.

Philly resident here:

Nah, you’re not. Your city is literally bleeding educated young adults. A big problem is that there just really isn’t that much opportunity, because outside of Comcast, Aramark, Urban, the hospital systems, and  the handful of big law firms in the area, there isn’t much industry in Philly. There aren’t enough large…
