Or it’s just the march of progress. Improving a society involves acknowledging the mistakes of previous generations and trying to do better. The operative word there is “trying”.

Ideals and the accompanying self-righteousness are necessary. They’re what allow us to believe we can and should make a difference even when…

I think there’s an inherent bias in the way comedians reach a national level that encourages the types of jokes that age poorly.

Most comedians don’t come out of nowhere. They start off with open mic nights, unpaid sets in local clubs, or just videos on the internet. They need to get laughs just to get invited back and…

Considering the kinds of press junkets where these things come out only happen when there’s a movie or book coming out, that’s to be expected. I don’t think he’s some sort of hero but it’s refreshing to see someone who can take criticism without getting defensive.

The bar is subterranean.

Holy crap, despite not understanding a damn thing, I was still enthralled to the end.

I must confess that over the past few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro’s great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen’s Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more…

Never underestimate the power of laziness and motivated self-interest.

It Turns Out, All Those ‘Woke’ White American Allies Were Lying

Imagine so blatantly lying about your direct involvement in someone’s death, having video evidence exist, and being punished by losing 50 hours pay.

Police in America are a state-sanctioned death squad. Screw anyone who wants to talk about our “ideals”, our death and incarceration numbers are comparable to corrupt…

Nuance is not and has never been a thing in America.

It’s the biggest difficulty in dealing with our racist past. We think entirely too black and white (pardon the pun) so someone says, “Your politician husband supported policies in the past which have since proven to be stealth components of structural racism,” and…

With our luck, Marauders would be a blaxploitation adaptation written, directed, and led by a tone-deaf white actor who is fervently and vocally supported in the role by Rowling. JK will then accuse anyone who criticizes her of being the real racists before telling everyone that no one in the wizarding world…

And writes reviews on said burning world (I know it’s satire...maybe):

Don’t forget this expression of capitalism represents the most efficient use of resources, the best solution to problems, and the embodiment of freedom and human dignity.

Target has joined the communists in attacking my rights to patriotically pursue booster packs and is depriving me of the liberty to use my…

I’m confused that you say you don’t give a shit about moralizing but then go on about how you cut your beef intake because of climate change. Last I checked, that’s you making a decision for moral reasons.

Other people being concerned about other issues in the meat industry isn’t an indictment of you or your beliefs.…

Pork: Anything included in a bill that doesn’t fit the ideal solution in the mind of the person opining about the bill or that they just flat don’t like.

Riders: Soberly considered and necessary tweaks to achieve the function of the bill or some other unrelated but vital interest according to the narrow, biased…

That’s you. That’s what you sound like.

I know what you mean. I was born in 1979 and I swear I get assigned a new generational name every 5 years.

There’s one thing I’ve learned about American car companies: if they think they’ve found a simple, “obvious”, all-in approach they will completely shift their business plan to pursue that to the detriment of everything else. It doesn’t matter how unusual the circumstances or apparent the flaws. When economic…

Holy crap, you actually found the only people that make Kim & Kanye look classy by comparison.

A clear lie. People like this have no friends. Just people who haven’t figured out how to permanently sever their acquaintance.
