Seriously!! The US is falling apart, the president is dangerously unhinged and his cronies are starting to turn on him, California is on fire or without electricity, and there’s no “politics” section of this website. Bad timing. And stupid.

The murder of Splinter is the start of our end.

I’ve offered to post political articles using the “Compose a Post” option, for people to comment on.

Their management has been a complete and utter disaster. Some of the best writers leave immediately, kinja is broken beyond repair, and they nix the only politics vertical in a constitutional crisis without notice or comment. Cool.

Is Splinter’s death the reason why the protest in Minneapolis last night (10/10) wasn’t covered on any of these sites? Not that I’d expect The Takeout to report on it, but I swore it would have been mentioned on Jez somewhere. It seems odd that such a chaotic event is receiving no coverage here.

missing Splinter after a week and a day like this ...

I see Hamno is already doing freelance work for The Guardian:

Nicotine itself doesn’t cause cancer, it’s not even listed as possibly carcinogenic. It, at worst, has negligible health effects (and even some positives when it comes to Parkinson and alzheimer’s). It’s all the other shit in traditional cigarettes that can cause cancer. The other shit in vape juice is unknown if it…

The only knowledge I’ve gained from the current health scare around vaping is that the industry doesn’t have a professional trade group and/or they’re bribing the wrong or not enough congresspersons.

The Deuce is good; Treme was far, far better. 

Hijacking your thread:

O’Hare International Airport is hands down the best airport on earth. If you have never flown American or United into or out of O’Hare International Airport you should consider doing so immediately. It’s wonderful.

Film Twitter and other hot take decathlons seem to be really slipping as far as the breath of Scorsese’s oeuvre and contributions to film culture as an archivist and workhorse. So much world cinema have been restored and given their due thanks to Martin and yet to some he’s just the Taxi Driver guy for bro-niphiles.…

Obstruction of Justice.

I used to be excited to see "Netflix original". Now it's a sign that I need to Google it to make sure it's something watchable.

Crazy! Sanders supporters losing their shit over insufficient ideological purity, undermining minority concerns, and attacking a female candidate? I never would have seen this coming.

Now I am dreaming of a Missy, Peter, and Parliament-Funkadelic show. *swoon*

I know I mostly just make joke comments but sometimes the only thing that comes to mind is JESUS BUTTCHUGGING CHRIST HOW THE FUCK IS THIS REALITY?! I WILL NEVER EVER FUCKING FORGIVE ANY SINGLE PERSON THAT VOTED FOR THIS INSANE ORANGE BAG OF DIARRHEA WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

That’s the absolute truth. Regulations that protect my wealth? GOOD. Regulations that prevent me from destroying the planet and other people to make more money? BAD.

Lin never was the same after he left The Knicks...
