You know what’s the most punk thing you can do? Go from being part of a hacker collective and punk rock band to becoming a clean-cut center-right Democrat who actively throws the left under the bus in policy, takes fossil fuel money even when promising not to do that, and remaking yourself as progressive in time for…

“Just because all of these white men go around killing nonwhite individuals after releasing large manifestos about their racial hatreds and desire for race wars does’t mean that they’re terrorists and villains! Oh, and I identify with these men, which is why I’m offended here. That, or I can’t understand nuance.”

If white nationalists means all white people to you, then yeah. Fuck off, fascist scum.

*guys/them

I’m not really sure how the dude could have been more clear on this one.

It is indeed ridiculous to say that a guy who specifically said Trump’s white supremacy inspired him to commit these murdered may have been inspired to commit these murders by Trump’s white supremacy.

Two things. First is this isn’t just a racist group, it goes well beyond that. And second is that authoritarians, fascists, are deeply invested in police and military simply by virtue of might-makes-right politics of ultranationalism.

I wonder how many 19th century Presidents we had who just spent their idle hours writing nonsense and doodling dicks on scraps of paper that were immediately burned by a foresighted secretary.  Surely we can’t have fallen this far this quickly, right?  This was something that has aways been just narrowly avoided?

what idiot called it Rath allegedly “touched an adult woman against her will on intimate parts of her body for the purpose of sexual arousal and gratification” and not The Gropes of Rath

I know, right? 18 year olds in the boom era before the greatest financial crash since in 1932 should have really known better. I mean, all those big finance guys saw it coming. That’s why we didn’t, as a country, have to bail all of those finance guys out like these idiot journalism majors who made a mistake (unlike…

“Man, This Is Some Racist Shit To Do In An Amateur Hockey Game”

What the hell is happening with the Chiefs top offensive players? I’m now expecting a video of Kelce suddenly doing a drive-by being released. The good days when it was just laughing about his Bachelor rip-off seem so far away now.

Goddamn, man. This being Deadspin, I want to make a joke...but I just can’t; nothing about child abuse is humerus.

He’s got the complexion for the protection

White of course he was taken alive. He’s got the complexion for the protection.

Actually... many telcos and electric companies use perpetual-right-of-way granted for the delivery of service for their “land”. The right of way can quite often include the very land the power stations themselves are sitting on, and in fact said power stations are subsidized by the local governments to ensure…

First, the vast majority of rights of way of public utilities, pole lines and underground facilities etc. are not owned by the utility. The utility is given access to public and private land (the owner of which is taxed for, not the utilities). The utility would be owed no compensation for that land. They do not own…

Or depending on how much they’re liable for, like say PG&E, I’d suspect you could make a case for seizing the company and assets based on their inability to pay the damages they owe.

Especially considering how much money we’ve already paid the telecoms to expand service that they’ve just pocketed.
