Thank you. That’s what upset me about this post, it made it seem like the Coen brothers were somehow out of the mainstream of Hollywood productions. With idiotic statements like:

I think a post on: “Enough Fucking All-White Casts: The Coen Brother’s New Film brought me to the Breaking point” would have been very cool. To actually go to the heart of the problem.

but it’s still a little surprising to see a cast list like this for a movie being released in 2016

Is it because A) We expect better from them or B) they are artists who have put Jewishness at the center of their work....that this is being applied selectively to the Coen brothers? Because, there are lots of white cast movies that don’t need to be. Recently saw Inside Out (because that’s what I do now) and this film…

I’m only half white. But allow me to respond: Cloistered white existence still makes up about 1/3 of American life in 2015. In the 1950s, it made up about 1/2 of American life. I refuse to think that those stories should either A) not be told or B) be adjusted to fit our ideal of the stories of America. I don’t know…

I suspect Annonymous Staffer 4 and Annonymous Staffer 9 are actually the same person (have you ever seen a photo of them together). And they both seem particularly disturbed by Canadian-ness.

Until a city with a large Italian-American immigrant population does this in favor of Garibaldi day, it won’t really get all of us to interrogate history.

Studies indicate that victims do not report largely because of connection to the offender and not fear of social shame in particular. Now, their willingness to continue to cooperate may involve such public shame, but reporting is largely based on their direct connections to offenders and the attitude of their…

Rahm Manuel will not allow destruction to God’s city.

We have to remember what the crime was that they were investigating. This was credit card fraud people, if that doesn’t justify rushing at a suspect and throwing them to the ground, you tell me what does. This was a very dangerous arrest of someone that the police KNEW had bought shoes with a fake credit card. It is…

Look at their closest community first and foremost.

I wanted to explore this, not cause I doubted it, but I just wondered how much this “feed off the drama” nonsense is gendered. It was shocking to me going through a couple of Google pages how much that is related to women and how rarely it is related to men.

By my watching the assistant coaches were far more unhelpful than most of the players. Gray 90 at :28 was clearly helping the situation. A bunch of high school males in full padding hit each other with the coaches egging them on. Sounds like a football game to me.

Also, rule #1 of Graph making (breakable but only with good reason) is that the base point on the Y Axis should be 0. The result would look quite different (as in the lines would never intersect because they don’t—or I guess they could intersect at the Y Axis if done as a base year, but now I’m getting too complex on…

Sigh. And smoothed trendlines with no year points. Why even have the years on the X axis, you aren’t using them to actually say anything. This is visual representation of data 99 (That’s right, it is the course you have to take before you get to 101).

obviously launching a physical assault on any business is not constructive

And here I am twiddling my thumbs waiting for an “improved Biblical text” like a sucka...

The exact quote with original emphasis goes:

First off, the guy’s profession is to make money based on how much people like his stories. This is not a politician or newsperson or anyone else with any public trust. Right? I mean we should keep this in mind, I think. An entertainer told an entertaining story that happened to be a lie. Maybe you think Sept. 11 is…

No excuse for this at all. But that is, as far as I can tell, a decent apology. Doesn’t do shit—but in the age of non-pologies or self-serving apologies, this one stands out as honest. Again, the scale is fucked up, but one of the better ones I’ve seen recently.
