Oh man... the thing that hit me hardest was the interview that Wade did when he was 14, denying that Michael had ever touched him, juxtaposed against adult him recounting the story of what happened. Moreso even than the recontextualisation of MJs music... having an adult second look at that interview Wade gave when he…

Oh come on... really??? The Tea Party Movement was basically built around the rage that a black man had become president, and it could have been labelled as a White Nationalist movement quite easily, because that’s what it was.

I feel like in the 90's “stack chips like Hebrews” said by a rapper in a song about money was an aspirational statement, a high-five to anyone Jewish who was listening, with Hebrews being the most respectful term available for a cultural namedrop, historical context and all. I don’t see this song as antisemetic, but I…

Sorry, “asking in good faith” sometimes resembles asking in bad faith these days. I agree with your perspective... It’s one thing for us to hold her to a higher standard for the words she chooses moving forward as an elected public official; it’s another thing to condemn her as an antisemite and ignore her valid critiq…

It’s a musical reference immediately apparent to people in their 30s.

Wait. What?

This is an interesting take, and makes me appreciate that since he IS Cersei he may have some pretty ninja move in his personal game of thrones of Game of Thrones. 

Hm. So certain elite schools are known to admit and produce “rich underacheivers who suck at their jobs,” a statement which you flatly deny as true, even in the face of this scandal, and list the following reasons:

Hmmm... I don’t know if he can dude. I don’t know if it is physically possible for Max Contrarian to do anything but misdirect the conversation, shit on everyone and say nothing of substance himself. Give the OP another look.

I love how “Max Contrarian” responds to a post about how people breaking the social contract in the US are destroying society with with antisocial behavior, with whatabouting where you would rather live instead of addressing the content of your post.

Libby Watson, I have been lingering in these grays forever.

Can you do me a solid and allow me to comment on Splinter?

Sure thing “Max Contrarian.”

...took a calculated fall today when he accepted an invitation to play golf from the President of the United States... and lost 50% his beloved 2018 Mens Club Champion title in the process.

The plan also includes Trump’s demand for wall-building funds, currently pegged in the budget at $8.6 billion.

I started The Staircase late one night, fell asleep, woke up and it was STILL going.

Well, I’m fucking glad his kids and the mother of his children got the money he owed them and has been quoted as saying that he had been withholding on purpose, regardless.

Also: not to pry, but it’s such an interesting connection... did your friend overcome the hoarding disorder? If so, what kinds of outside help, if any, were effective in their case?

So the attitude that I more-so have is that POC should genuinely offer them help to see reality...but then step well off to the side and let them do whatever it is they’re gonna do to or for themselves.

WHY would anyone revel in their own ignorance and knowing support cruel people, not putting two and two together that their ignorance makes them vulnerable to abuse by those in power? Because they have been conditioned to believe that their ignorance is good and righteous and…
