I need a beer. Ideally, with Sen. Warren in a sun room where she will spill all kinds of off-the-record herbal tea while dodging calls from Bernard and Robinette. 

I get angry every day about something or other. Somehow I have managed not to completely melt down into racist assholery.

The out of character part is the fact that he did it in public in front of a non-white person. He probably says it around his all-white squash club all the time

An angry man’s words are a calm man’s thoughts.  You is what you is.  High emotion just puts it all out on front street for the world to see.

Frankly I’m stunned he didn’t use alcohol as an excuse.

I assume he is both very racist and bad at regulating his emotions. But, yes, “I’m not racist, I just throw tantrums when I don’t get my favorite seat, something that is unacceptable from a toddler“ is not a great argument.

Damn, why does anyone over the age of 26 ever think it’s a good idea to criticize someone young enough to have grown up on social media? It’s such a losing proposition. Even a lot of not-too-olds (people in their 30s) who are generally considered intelligent and witty/funny can be outmatched in an online altercation…

This is extremely accurate.

Oh look, she even corrected his punctuation. What a dear. 

BLESSINGS.

Just to “own the libs” or some such nonsense. He probably meant to click on a Confederate flag (he is a big fan of it, despite being from Michigan - who sent some of the finest troops down south to own the traitors) and missed. Then again, is there a confederate emoji? Other than the poop emoji, of course.

If I read douchebag correctly, I think it’s his way of calling it gay, like white boys used to in a negative way- “that’s gay!”- in the 90s. You know, bc that’s where this idiot still lives.

I was wondering that exact same thing....

Dgs: you're not getting out of the greys on my account, but you could measure success thusly: Mr. Harriot is a professional writer who is paid to tell compelling stories. You're a sad bag of shit who's reduced to creating burner accounts so you can spend the evening hours trolling folks on this website. Congrats. It…

Michael, I'm also a product of the Palmetto State, albeit not from Hartsville. Every time you tell your story, I'm struck by how much your success seemed to mean to your community. It really is an incredible story.

They believed in you and it really speaks to what they saw in you. Look at you now. You have a whole lot of people that are so thankful for you. Keep writing truth to power and we will continue to read, learn, and grow. 

Jezebel readers don’t really want her. I mean she actually thinks the world doesn’t revolve around her. It confuses them.

Sounds like the judge might dismiss the whole matter, as he should.

Yeah, these comments are about to get real interesting. I’ve been dismissing with reckless abandon since Splinter shuttered and Deadspin shattered.

I’m here for her and Kamala Harris. Julian Castro is also one of my faves.
