He was a devout Catholic, after all. He definitely had lots and lots of practice not giving a fuck about child rape.

That’s not true. He told them to make sure Jerry wouldn’t bring them on campus.

I’ve often maintained that both him and Steven Pinker intentionally maintain their ludicrous hairstyles because it’s all part of their cosplaying as an intellectual, and they’re both so dumb to think that “well, Einstein had crazy hair, so obviously crazy hair is necessary to be a genius!” It’s like when Rick Perry…

He's what stupid people think a smart person is. 

A wiser man than I summed him up best- Gladwell writes books for people who don’t read books.

Gladwell has made an absolute killing by writing “Maybe just trust your gut” to boomers who just wanted confirmation bias that everything they think is right anyway.

Also, you don’t need a PhD to understand child rape/molestation. Paterno was a force and an institution at Penn State. He didn’t do that by being a kindly…

Simmons: Right.

Joe Paterno knew in the 70s that Sandusky was raping kids. Forty goddamned years as an assistant to JoePa with Joe knowing that this guy was raping kids and he did nothing.

In Gladwell’s defense, the Penn State coaching staff and administration probably spent more than 10,000 hours raping children and ignoring it, so he’d have to reject the entire premise of one of his own books if he didn’t recognize their expertise in the field.

Dear Max -- it’s true that we can’t expect leaders to know everything. But I think we can expect even the dumbest leader to call the cops when it comes to child rape.

This guy is a walking SVU episode.

“Come on, we were just having a little fun,” said every privileged white male through the ages.

Not only is the tweet offensive, it doesn’t even make sense. I know no normal people - men or women - who would think having a dick in their face against their will was “harmless fun.”

Yeah, that’s always been my rule of thumb. If you’re watching a game, at the stadium or at home, go ahead with “We should have scored” or “The Refs are screwing us”.

Snoop Dogg has never steered me wrong in the past, so I’m team Martha for this one. 

The older I get the more disdain I have for lines of any sort.  Especially for food.  I have a hard time believing there’s any food worth waiting in a three hour line for.

Yeah - I grew up in a neighbourhood with an Italian restaurant that is popular enough to keep a 40 minute line outside on any given evening.

ha-  she actually shouted peter gabriel out in her speech! a true legend.

Even in my hardest of hardcore metal days, I would stop and watch when Missy was on MTV. She is just mesmerizing. I think of her like I think of Peter Gabriel. I’m not always sure of what is happening, but you can’t NOT watch

Andrew Luck 2012: *Takes a sack* Great job, man. Insane hustle. You really got me.

Andrew Luck 2019: You even just look at the ceiling and wish you could stop existing? Like, not die, but just POOF and cease being altogether. Maybe it’s nothing but motionless, soundless black. Complete emptiness. Nothingness. But it’s…
