The use of ‘our idiosyncrasies” to me supports diving deeper into the individual experiences of black people instead of the use of generic stereotypes to fill the diversity quota.

This story makes me angry, in a more empathetic way than the kind of bullshit anger this incel has. 

They would have made it, but they had to pose with $70 in singles, a baggie full of weed, and a replica musket, and post it on social media.

Multiple times. Police are useless here unless it’s the rich neighborhoods.

Why are you humouring this psychotic dork’s pretensions by using the nickname he prefers to go by?

Cops, “respect us.”

I mean, there are lots of people will poor impulse control who aren’t in conservatorships. Someone doesn’t have to rise to your standard of “balanced” in order to deserve basic freedom.

She’s lived in a bubble sine she was a teenager. She never had anything close to appropriate social interactions throughout most of her life. And she’s directing her anger at real people who caused her real harm. Cut the gal some slack.

Barbara Walters can go jump.

Even 22 years ago, I knew Britney was a pre-packaged popstar put together by a team of leeches who saw her as a piggy bank.

Can’t believe they didn’t call it Suplex City

If Republicans actually opposed child abuse, they'd be going after institutions like churches and the boy scouts. Their stance on organizations that actually abuse children shows you how they really feel about it.

I was very conscious of this as I wrote. I’m an old-fashioned leftie, and I’m delighted by the more progressive direction in which gaming is heading, while very aware that it still abundantly caters for those so terrified by the thought of being kind to people who don’t look like them.

Inglorious Basterds works because it doesn’t pull punches or pretend it’s something it’s not, and it’s extremely self-aware. This game is the polar opposite, without any of the self-awareness. It’s crass and dumb, and it gets a lot wrong, even besides its clumsy handling of racism (and weirdly absent antisemitism).…

The other big issue that it causes is a purposeful ignorance of real stories and real people that are just as captivating, if no moreso, than the fantastical stories they bandy about in an incredibly clumsy manner.

Merely plopping a black person, or a gay person, or a trans-person in a role and saying “diversity”…

This is my problem with the push for diversity in games.

To be fair, Mark Millar comics keep getting movie adaptations...

Brilliant take.

It’s not even the topics, it’s just Dave’s shows are lacking punchline. He’s taken himself too seriously like so many older comedians. I think because mainly, he is addressing his angst rather than reinventing himself. If you you can’t reinvent yourself, then your only option is to bow out gracefully or punch down in…

look no further than the greatest comedian of this generation—Dave Chappelle.
