My mother asked me a while ago, after I responded to some cop horror story or another with ACAB, why I am so bitter and angry at police generally. She’s a white boomer and I am white and grew up in the suburbs, where cops are supposed to be your friend (if you’re white). So she doesn’t get why I am wary and…

Was there? Even in the old days they were snarky about pretty much everything. They were just better at it, and they had more cool kid cred because the coverage of everything else was fucking great.

Replying to you but it’s actually a response to a grey.

Having seen the piece in Slate before the backlash to it began and having warm feelings towards Martin Short, myself, I remember thinking that the headline (“Why We Keep Putting Up with Martin Short”) seemed odd. It seemed even more so after I read the piece.

If you are only talking about the USA, then unfortunately, you are incorrect.

I highly recommend everyone read William Cronon’s classic essay, “The Trouble with Wilderness.” The wilderness meme — a dream of a virgin anti-civilization space of authenticity and ruggedness — is ultimately self-destructive.

“How does anyone fall for this nonsensical religion?”

The joke is on all of us. Depending on Masterson’s Scientology Operating Thetan level, he has powers over space and time and already lives 30 years in the future and free.

Mea culpa, I should have known that historically the AV Club’s comment section is not a place for silly jokes.

And that’s better...how?

It’s also best to keep in mind that SupersonicATX’s comment was made through red, white and blue tinted glasses.

Man, now there’s a bucket list item.

Most of these fall under “if we can’t all do it, none of us should”. One person not moving in line might not matter, but what if everyone did it? One person on speakerphone in a waiting area is no big deal, but what about 300 people doing it? Nobody is special in public.
