I was put off by the preamble, where the interviewer said, “I love famous people but I also find them quite silly, like a Schnauzer wearing a bowtie.” Uh, okay. If that’s attitude was at all apparent to St. Vincent, then maybe that’s why she “tended to interpret [the interviewer’s] questions in bad faith.” Or maybe…

Yeah this is kind of my takeaway too - even the excerpt used in this article is super weird. It seems like the author was trying to bait her into giving quotes about political issues she didn’t really want to comment on and wouldn’t take no for an answer. I get that it’s your job as a journalist to get juicy quotes…

when Reinbold in her own words took her “dumb worthless suffocating mask” off

We simply aren’t going to see this the same way. You are advocating that it’s better he allow the person to be stabbed in the abdomen than to intervene with deadly force. I think that’s an easy critique to level when you aren’t at risk of being responsible for someone else’s death. This whole “well a knife to the…

Your premise is that with a baton this police officer could have closed that distance and intervened, in spite of the fact that he had less than 10 seconds from the time the fight came into his view and the moment the knife was literally on its way to the other girl’s belly. The other person, according to current…

Given that she was about to stab someone when the police was already on the scene its not a surprise the police felt they had to open fire. I don’t think even a white guy would have gotten away with killing someone in front of a cop. And its not like the police even had the opportunity to try and deescalate the…

I agree. There are plenty of cases we can point to as examples of police being trigger happy and badly in need of an overhaul to our criminal justice system. This isn’t one of them.

Is it me or does Ray Fisher strike you as someone who was done wrong but is also kind of an asshole? See: Rose McGowan.

There was no time for the officer to have chosen another course such as pulling his baton and disarming the the young women instead before at least one stab if not more. I do believe that officers choose to shoot way to often out of too much fear that has been trained into them. However, in this situation no option…

I honestly am struggling to understand this thinking. It’s not just that she had a knife, it’s that she literally was about to stab someone else at the moment she was shot. How is that not a situation where the police should shoot her to save the life of the other person? If you’re the family of the person who is a…

She was literally about to stab someone with a knife.

People celebrate it because it is a “from now on”. And that’s a valid enough reason.

The guy running Internal Affairs for a police department thinks a teenage sociopath was ordained by God to commit racial murders and people think we need reform not abolition. LOL.

Pat Roberts went off on cops the other day, showing a Taser and a Glock and pointing out mistaking one for the other was nuts, saying “We don’t have the best people doing this job!!”

Good for her for speaking out.
It’s a good reminder Franco was a scuzzy abuser for a long time.
And while part of me respects his friends for continuing to be good friends rather than fair-weather opportunists who immediately threw him under the bus when he was no longer good for their optics, there’s are ways to do…

most notably the incident in 2014 in which he admitted to inviting a 17-year-old to join him in a hotel room via Instagram.

People don’t want to go back to low-paying jobs with asshole customers and abusive bosses? Say it ain’t so!

I think the hardest part of the “CANCEL CULTURE” debate is that positions for and against its existence (as well as support for or decrying of) all operate on small truths to reframe the complexities into a personal narrative. Besides the most extreme views, most that approach the brouhaha can really agree that a)…

However, having written that, I’ve also seen events of people paying a, to me, far disproportionate a price for dumb tweets or comments from ages ago because of that current social media backlash.

Really intriguing piece on the subject. Personally, I’m a bit torn on the cancel culture discussion as a whole. Largely, I do agree that it is this boogeyman concept that is astonishingly often proclaimed about considering that it is supposed to silence people. Also by making those claims, those parties are actively…
