(Two years ago I posted "I haven't seen a Bosnian murdered like that since Srebrenica" in response to LeBron stuffing Jusuf Nurkic into a locker and stealing his lunch money on a dunk. I think I've exhausted this vein, but damn if it wasn't a rich one.)

I haven't seen a Serbian atrocity like that since Gorazde.

You would think that a guy like this might consider that his job puts him in close proximity to large, strong men of color who have large blunt objects that almost certainly could kill him.

It’s already pretty well documented that people with authoritarian personalities tend toward racism, xenophobia, and homophobia. Guess who are most likely to become cops?

Tweeting from inside an SCIF is a crime, and at the very least should disqualify any of these clowns from ever holding a security clearance of any kind, which also means that they can’t serve on any of the committees that deal with national security or law enforcement information.

There are, of course, so-called draft busts who are only considered such because some team drafted them 20-30 spots ahead of where they should have gone, due to incompetent personnel management. The example that springs to the mind of this particular Chicagoland native is Eddy Curry, but probably the most salient one…

Jarvis Cocker has the horniest voice ever.

If you’re going to smash your dick to Pulp, I suggest using “Disco 2000” or “Do You Remember the First Time?” over the more popular “Common People.”

No, it’s important to recognize that whiteness is contingent, revocable, and highly dependent on cultural and political context. I remember reading a piece by a Dominican-American author talking about how she was considered white in the DR (which received almost zero European immigration and the population of which…

Sicilians and Calabrians—the two populations that sent the majority of immigrants to the US—stretch the definition of “white” to the point of meaninglessness. As we all learned from Dennis Hopper’s character in True Romance, Sicilians have significant amounts of “Moorish” (i.e., North African Arab) ancestry. (Thus…
