I think it’s incredibly short-sighted of liberals to cheer on shit like this just because the guy is a conservative asshole.

Break this down for me, how was the state harmed? I assume the government computer did not explode when forced to capture this man’s penis on camera (it’d be a better story if it did). If the only costs you can point to are the costs of the investigation, then, no, the state was not harmed by his actions.

The truly depressing part is that they consider the likelihood of facing similar future claims from mass shootings high enough that it’s worth it to send the signal — don’t sue us, we will fuck you.

I’m sorry, but I think you’re the one missing the bigger picture here. The blackmail attempt was based on him cyber-cheating on his wife, not his misuse of government resources. If we want to limit the threat of that particular blackmail strategy we should (1) not fire people because of marital indiscretions and (2)…

Unless his cam session was labeled “Official State of Nebraska Business,” I’m not feeling this. It’s incredibly stupid to use employer-owned equipment for such a purpose, and he sounds like an ass so it’s not like I’m feeling sorry for him. But as a general rule, I think the employer should have to show some harm done…

I dunno, man. Levine seems to be plainly arguing that it’s more realistic to expect that the algorithms used by index funds will get better than it is to worry about stagnation resulting from over-reliance on index funds.

I just read the piece. Levine dismisses the stagnation theory as “silly.”

KC has the best ribs and they’re baby backs too.

I remember them all. Reading a list of our lame QBs is like watching a series of gifs devoted to toddlers falling on their faces.

I’ve seen little reason to believe that California can house prisoners in an ethical manner so I can’t cheer on any mandatory sentencing laws.

While I love his representation of the USMC in gay porn via tattoo and appreciate his commitment to demonstrating enthusiastic versatility, I’d think the whole “beat the shit out of boyfriend while on meth” deal would make him a bad bet for a pleasant hook up.

I love Str8UpGayPorn. Gay porn gossip is better than Kardashian gossip.

My trashy idea: Sean Cody’s Brandon as the Prince Charming, and the contestants selected solely from the pool of men who’ve bought things for Ryan Rose off of his Amazon Wish List.

I’m waiting for Bret Easton Ellis to weigh in so I can choose the opposite side.

I don’t think Celestin had anything to do with the writing. My theory is that Parker gave him the story credit as a way of making amends for getting him in trouble back in 99. That’s what Nate Parker’s idea of being a stand up guy looks like.

I don’t think “genocide” is a fair description of the Haitian Revolution. Nor do I think it’s a fair description of what Turner planned to do, which is slaughter slavers. Slavers are not their own ethnic group or nationality. Do you consider the French Revolution an act of genocide?

I have a very short bucket list and it includes getting that LBJ aide who wrote the WaPo oped criticizing Selma to admit that Harvey Weinstein put him up to it. But I also admire how well DuVernay handled the situation. She’s right to not care. They’re going to be showing Selma in schools for generations and nobody is…

Please don’t interpret women openly disagreeing about something as a cat fight.
