Yeah how dare people be offended by jokes about hanging in a state where till the 80s it was still common for blacks to “disappear” .

Read that sentence again, it is relevant because HE was using being gay as an excuse. It’s the Kevin Spacey defense— come out as gay and say your critics are only going after you because they’re homophobes.

I get what you’re saying here but, Burgos declared these accusations to be fueled by homophobia because he’s a gay man. And a homosexual, even a pedophile, is someone attracted to the same gender. Gender attraction has nothing to with age. (and the idea that gay men only ever go with other gay men for sexual or even…

I guess this is as good a time as any to pitch my new movie...

Reading the comments is pretty sad. Not every sexual assault victim has a spotless past and a tearful, ready-for-Lifetime story. Maybe that lady who was a bitch to you at work is also a victim, and it doesn’t make it any less bad. Maybe the guy you always see holding weird libertarian signs was molested. It’s still…

Whatever it takes to convince yourself, I guess.

Tiger King is the best anti-gun PSA I’ve ever seen.

I reacted to it a bit differently. I had a great deal of sympathy for the staff at all the private zoos, as they were clearly being taken advantage of (and practically cult members, honestly).

I watched this in one sitting. Absolutely fascinating! It’s got everything! A love story, murder mystery, tragedy, shady characters, guns, lions and tigers and bears oh my! Everybody is right AND wrong...just pure entertainment. Fame is a hell of a drug.

White on the right, black on the left, is this some kind of message?

I’m diggin’ that light fixture...it’s very sputnik-y...

Braun said some truly creepy shit about Ariana Grande a while back....she left him temporarily, and he was bragging in an interview and said something like “people said I should talk, I could ruin her, but I didn’t do it even though I was hurt.” It honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he was trying to sabotage Swift.

You do realize that Garrett hasn’t worked at Jez that long? If you want to register an actual complaint, how about directing a strongly worded email to the editors?

Lansing and East Lansing are two different cities, and neither claims the other. This happened right off campus in East Lansing, and they have a city council (not a city commission). ELPD has gotten way better than it used to be, but old habits die hard. The East Lansing City Council was pissed, which is why the chief…

Maybe not to them?

not even minor sympathy, none. I was just speaking to the hypothetical that he didn’t know. The article says you should know, and my point is that ain’t necessarily true. If he knew, different story.

Far be it from me to defend R. Kelley. He totally needs to have the book thrown at him. On this one though, maybe. 60% of adults over 40 in US have Herpes 1, and about a 1/4 have 2. Many have either had a minor case or no case at all. As a doc, it’s a very open question as to whether to test for herpes when doing…

Honestly, I don’t think the problem is that we’re too hard on female politicians; we’re just not hard enough on male politicians.

Yeah, it really is.  Tom Steyer wasn’t going out there saying he was just okay.
