Merriam-Webster’s definitions actually include both “strengthen” and “to give new assurance of the validity of.” So maybe do yourself a favor and drop this now.

They also owe Tig Notaro an apology for calling her “ungrateful” and shit for daring to speak out about this.

So, all the bros who spent the last few months screaming at Katie Rife for daring to talk about this and INSISTING THAT THERE WAS NOTHING TO TALK ABOUT until some accusers came forward and until then this was just a plot by mean ol’ Jezebel and AV Club to smear poor Louie...

I’m sorry, you actually believed that the rumor about a famous comedian (with a sitcom!) doing shady shit to women was about.... Doug Stanhope? Famous comedian with sitcom Doug Stanhope?

I want to go back through my responses and respond to all of them with the Times article. But I also don’t want to deal with that nonsense.

WHERE THOSE APOLOGISTS AT? What was that again about Jezebel rumor mongering and dragging a good man down and there haven’t been any “real” accusations?

Well, you see, most of us don’t actually SEE color, so we get really bummed when, after years of seeing our own skin as colorless, we are told we’re white and thus have been part of a system of perpetuated oppression. It makes us have the sadness!

Well without knowing what the assistant alleged or the parameters of Amazon’s internal investigation, allow me to (16 ton weight drops on my head)

We won’t fully know the extent until the Rams get three more wins.

Let’s try flipping that around. If you’re not prosperous, then by extension, you’re not living your life “the right way.” What a load of (rather un-Jesus-like) horseshit.

If Richard Spencer didn’t follow basketball, he’d probably have no qualms including a guy named Kyle O’Quinn.

Your first paragraph was basically my response when a bunch of my nerd buddies were squeeing about the possibility of Marvel getting the X-Men back. I might wish for various reboots, but the consolidation of media power can be pretty alarming.

Although he may best be remembered for his no hitter/perfect game with the Phillies, Halladay will always be a Blue Jay, especially since he was still flying south for the winter.

This sucks in a way that’s hard to put into words. Halladay is someone I’d have driven to Cooperstown to see his induction. A personal hero from back when I still had those.

We could cut him up into several pieces and ship them to all his home countries?

Regarding the notion that Black people ‘did not build’ the UK, if it weren’t for the money that the UK reaped through colonialism (sugar, cotton, tar, etc), the UK would not have been an indistrial nation. So yeah, thanks Richard Spencer, we DID actually build it.

One thing that I don’t think gets enough attention is how much this tax plan will fuck over graduate students

It’s funny ‘cause America is so preoccupied with its own slide into fascism that we barely notice when a Turkish NBA player is being hunted down by his government for hurting Erdogan’s fee-fees.

57-11-7, on 68% shooting, in his 15th year in the league. Only the second player ever to drop 55+ in his 15th season or later (the other was Kobe, on his last ever NBA game when he put up 50 shots).

With all respect to JR, I think the appropriate wrestling commentary reference here is KINSHASAAAA!
