I have to respectfully call the idea that “violence and ignorance are part of being poor” a pretty classist statement. We didn’t have much money when I was growing up—nor did most of my friends or their families—and we managed to not throw chairs at each other on the reg. I’m not saying there was never violence, but

There should be, but for whatever reason, all this stand-your-ground bullshit seems to be entirely up to the states. For example, Massachusetts, where I live, is a “duty to retreat” state. If you can withdraw from the situation with “reasonable safety,” you can’t just execute the other person and then claim

I still haven’t read anywhere about what Jones did that would merit Jemison using deadly force against her. “Altercation” doesn’t say much, and the fact that it hasn’t been elaborated on makes me strongly suspect she didn’t do jack squat other than maybe yell at Jemison...which in these idiots’ minds somehow means

I don’t expect any kind of basic intellectual consistency from these people, but wouldn’t a shoe bearing the image of the flag be in violation of the flag code? You really can’t have “STAND UP AND RESPECT MAH FLAG!” and “STAND UP AND STEP ON MY FLAG LIKE A REAL AMERICAN!” together.

Yup. My takeaway is that Anna Wintour also approves of transphobia and racism...or, like Jezebel, she at the very least doesn’t give a shit about it when it comes to noted garbage person Cardi B.

The last time he tried this with his Big Important Boy Tanks in DC Parade for No Reason, they interviewed a reasonably high-ranking military person who said (paraphrase), “This parade is some third-world, tin-pot dictator bullshit.  We have real jobs to do.”  And he had a good point.  If the answer to the question,

I remember them asking Colin—who was hosting a “casting special” before he was selected to go in the house—what they thought they were looking for. He responded with words to the effect of, “You want people who are emotionally unstable.” I’m surprised they showed it, since it was a very succinct summing up of what

I have some vague memories* of Judd displaying some Nice Guy(tm) tendencies, in that there was some bemoaning why someone like Rachel would be into someone like Puck, and why weren’t the ladies interested in him, nice guy Judd? Not incel-levels of hostile, but a bit annoying.

I’d worry less about how men react to the remake of this particular franchise—after all, Charlie’s Angels has always been an action franchise featuring women—and more about whether the general charisma level of this cast will pale in comparison to the previous two versions. I’m looking at you, black-hole-of-energy

I’m consistently amazed that they’re still making--and people are still watching--Mission Impossible movies.  After all the creepy cult Scientology stuff, are people still that into Tom Cruise?

I didn’t find any more info at AL.com, but I’m going to take a wild guess that whatever Jones did in this “fight” wouldn’t legally justify the use of (potentially) deadly force against her in any sane world. Based on the description, it sounds like, at worst, a shoving or shouting match, because I’m sure if Jones had

Fred Rogers would sit down and calmly and patiently explain to Trump why what’s happening is wrong.

Kinda seems like LiLo’s career options at this point should not involve anything where cameras or any level of responsibility is involved. Like, she could be a clerk at a kooky indie bookstore. You know, the one who babbles at you incoherently about crystals or something while a competent employee goes to find the

This is the correct take. I work for a company that’s involved in a lot of autonomous driving development. (Not what makes it to market—think testing and the like.) Automated driving is NOWHERE near where people think it is and/or what they’ve been told it is. Think about the thousands and thousands of decisions human

This. I’ve seen a few minutes of Fox’s...Female Power Hour of Hate? I don’t know what the show is called, but it has former MTV VJ and current rageful-conservative-in-a-miniskirt Kennedy and three or four other conventionally attractive women. Tune in to scream at the libs, but take time to stare at the legs of

At least we get to see her reduce Beto and de Blasio to puddles. I can be patient and wait for her chance to wreck the rest of them.

This was EXACTLY my experience, except someone backed into my parked GTI.  The rental Cruze I got was one of the shittiest cars I’d ever driven, and I 100% agree with the steering wheel.  It’s amazing how they could get it so wrong.

That was my experience with a rental Cruze.  The transmission didn’t even seem to realize it was responsible for changing gears.  Adding that to the twitchy-yet-wildly-imprecise steering, and it quickly jumped up to the top of my list of “Shittiest Cars I’ve Ever Driven.”  It was an insult to the legacy of the

Although it works excellently if, like Cardi B, the candidate is also transphobic and racist.

Is it “ironic” or just “pathetic” that these people spend so much time strategizing on forcing their beliefs on others, they can’t have much time left over for doing what Jesus actually said to do, e.g., be nice and shit?
