As I have aged through life, the need for nuance on more and more things becomes important to me.  I like to think things through as opposed to young me, that made really snap decisions that made me regret my words/actions.  However, even at 45, my policy on White supremacists is about the same as when I was 10; If…

I’m surprised that I didn’t have to click the “Show Pending” button to see the Byron Tau tweet.

That and the David Simon one. 

I don’t usually bring stupid people out of the greys, but here’s some links for you. It requires reading and it doesn’t come from Fox News so I am sure it will fall on deaf...eyes?  

If you don’t want people to punch you, don’t grab them by the shirt collar and jerk them towards you. If you want them to stop hitting you, let go of the shirt collar.

Why do you hate capitalization?

Tons of mediocre male comics bomb all the time. The need to dogpile on this woman I’m sure has nothing to do with her being female, no sirree, not one bit.  (internet sarcasm face here)

We could probably free up a ton if money if we adopted a policy of national defense instead if the current empire building one we have now. Or actually tax the top 20% more equitably. Or both.  There's really a ton of options if you don't think of returning to the Gilded Age is a good idea.  

Most people reading the Root are also pro law and order, they’re just interested in the police following the laws too. It’s not a big pro-anarchy crowd here.  

“Splinter Adjusts Comment System to Universal Praise"

That’s how you make a return.  Dang.  

It's time to officially declare Bin Laden the winner.  

Worst Bob Ross episode ever.  

Commodus might be the best analogue for Trump at this point. We're well beyond Nixon or Harding type corruption, which seem almost quaint by comparison.  Also from an intellectual standpoint, watching the American empire crumble is kind of interesting.  It's awful to live through, but I'm beginning to see the appeal…

Why are you still talking?   

“You realize there are people who like bill Maher, right?”

I have never understood the appeal of that guy. Always just struck me as a smug prick, like Bill Maher or Dennis Miller.  

I continue to use my 11 y/o as a barometer for which superhero movies to see, especially after Ant-Man 2. If he isn’t interested, I should know better than to go see it.  

Did he do something stupid this year? (I mean, publicly stupid. I’m sure he does something stupid on a daily basis.)

Your new insurance card will simply read "rub some dirt on it".
