In What’s the Matter with Koch Brothers Kansas? The free market can determine waters slide safety better than government.

Deputy Director: “Damn it, Tillman! This is a white collar case. There’s no need for a strip search!”

I read it as actually being the center of the piece, and Fraser’s motivation for doing the interview to begin with, but something that couldn’t be approached directly. I can see how some readers would think it was downplayed, but I thought the structure actually reinforced the message that the sexual assault was a…

This brings up a really interesting question. If gun owners go out and buy a lot of guns any time they’re concerned about new regulation, what does that say about the psychology of gun owners and their motivation for owning guns? Why do they desire an unlimited arsenal? If you already own a gun or several guns, what…

I wholeheartedly agree. However problematic a communicator McGowan is on the issue of sexual assault as a whole, she isn’t a professional activist nor is she merely an ally. She is a woman who is trying to tell her story, and it’s not her responsibility to background herself or surrender her time or her voice to…

They want to show that when Jesus was resurrected he was a more perfect representation of holiness; he goes from being a young, good-looking white man, to being a middle-aged, good-looking white man.

BIG RED NO

In fairness, those mean guys told him he had to be this tall to play with them.

The definition of cool being used here is one where popularity is the enemy of cool. Much of the critical conversation around this movie has concentrated on how the soundtrack isn’t curated according the sophisticated tastes of an adult (with added the benefit of hindsight) but rather the tastes of a high-schooler,…

If it isn’t, this whole thing will just give birth to a hundred new movie critics... Oh, fuck, I get it now.

I hear you identifying the source of the problem as entitlement, but I feel like that idea of entitlement is one of those ideas that is so poorly defined that it’s easily adaptable to use against anyone who has some kind of expectation of happiness. Conservatives call our safety net programs entitlements to suggest…

Nope. Look at where Beals’ legs are in relation to his body in the pic in the post above. Dellavedova’s weight is on Beal’s shoulder while his legs aren’t underneath to support him. That’s why he falls flat on his back.

There are a number of comments on here with similar sentiments to yours, and I suppose I’m choosing yours because you’ve put effort into coming at this from a few different angles. I see the culture war you’re talking about and I often feel considerable rage at the people on the other side of this war. But much of the…

Someone being good in her creative endeavors doesn’t disqualify her from behaving shittily in the real world and vice versa. Thinking otherwise allows people to continue to excuse/ignore/deny shitty behavior from obviously talented people.

If you can’t see the difference, there’s no help for you.

I don’t disagree, but unlike that hit/attack by Gronk, football wasn’t conceived with no other intention than to hurt people.

The word for it isn’t “stupid.” It’s malicious and cruel. Those aren’t byproducts of stupidity.

The difference is that the complaints against the Democratic Party are about their competence at playing politics, which buys into all of the mainstream media coverage that emphasizes politics over policy analysis. Liberals and leftists often buy in to this line of complaint, which further justifies media focus on the…

Makes sense. A significant percentage of white men think being an over-confident asshole makes you good at your job.

She’s goddamn fearless. Her performance in Lady Bird makes no apologies.
