That choice was so galling, and is a prime example of the not-good side of the scales that I alluded to. If you have an inexperienced captain who maybe isn’t the most sure of himself, you want an old salt at his side who has the chops and the experience to offer advice and for that captain to bounce ideas off and…

The news report I saw this morning said that the troopers told the doctor at the hospital where Greene’s body was taken that he died instantly in a car crash. The doctor, in his report, noted that this is did not, in fact, add up because there were taser prongs embedded in Greene’s back. Also, Greene’s car did not…

“Instead of rendering aid, the troopers leave the heavyset man unattended, facedown and moaning for more than nine minutes, as they use sanitizer wipes to wash blood off their hands and faces.”

This is precisely why we say all cops are bastards. These police murdered a man, lied about it, and they’re superiors did absolutely everything they could to cover it up.

“Louisiana State Police called the officers’ action ‘awful but lawful.’”

“So, in an effort to ‘fix’ the problem, we doubled down on lying to the public, misrepresenting the issues, and redirecting blame. What, you thought we were going to change our business model? Don’t make me laugh. We got filthy rich by not giving a shit. We’re certainly not going to start now.”

was the line longer than the receipt? 

“Ironic” use of a song.

I think Rocket surviving was important for his character growth too though, Vol 2 especially was about how badly he wants people in his life and coming to terms with his toxic personality that threatened to drive those people away.

Starting to think you might be my favorite writer here, honestly. And it’s not just because of your article, but how you’re laying out all the ignorant fools in the comment thread with straight facts.

This is racist. You probably don’t even see it, because that’s how racism works, and people never see it when they’re being racist, but you’re being racist right now regardless of whether you think so or not.

Apparently Gal Gadot cannot, in fact, imagine ALL the people.

I was really surprised by Yang’s defense of Israel in this instance. As an American Jew, I’ve long been sickened by Israel’s perpetual bullying of Palestinians, especially their habit of kicking Palestinians out of their homes to “settle” there. FWIW, I thought your point, Ashley, was that Gadot couldn’t even bring…

Israel has an ultra-advanced military and police force with billions of dollars in budgetary support from the United States. Only Palestine has a shortlist of casualties, Israel does not.

Not once do you mention that it’s Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization launching rockets at Israeli civilians

Nobody is expecting her to say “death to Israel” and nobody said she’s accountable for the actions of the Israeli government. It’s not antisemitic to condemn violence perpetrated by the Israeli government.

“Not once do you mention that it’s Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization launching rockets at Israeli civilians”

It may be difficult to believe for some of the younger folks, but if this is the last chapter in Ellen’s professional story, it’s kind of a tragic arc for someone who was ground breaking in a lot of ways and the kind of person who, once upon a time, was an underdog worthy of support.
