That's fucked.

"We need some one to play Rosa Parks."

"Well this two-year-old has the only notable characteristic."

They do shit like this and say wokeness makes them feel bad.

This is just more propaganda from the People's Front of Judea.

Exactly. My dog just barks at people turning around in the driveway. They turn around; my dog thinks he won.

Dan's bright spot: Doughboys with Mike Mitchell and Nick Wiger put out the episode Chop Stop with Tim Baltz.

Jordan's bright spot: Built Then Burnt [Hurrah! Hurrah!] by Silver Mt. Zion. A poem.

When police started buying military surplus and find it's not exciting if it sits in an armory. Here's a blog post that links a good Last Week Tonight from 2014 about it.

Actions have consequences, and that's ok.

That is, sincerely, such a hugely refreshing statement in any current affair. I don't mean to distract from his more specific points, but that key insight really shows integrity in a way that I wish didn't seem so rare.

The myth of the non-skilled worker isn't working in their favor here.

Usually I'd agree with you, but in a forum full of vile racism, a racial non sequitur is kinda fun.

The post never said that the side hustle was subpar. I did undergrad at a middling university and a mediocre sports, and I did grad school at a good school with a top tier basketball team.

To me, it seems the point of the post is that it is telling that there is a correlation. A well-funded university has a well-funded sports team. It sometimes feels the other way around with a well-funded sports team providing a well-funded school. Advocates of college sports actually tout that as feature.

It is so deeply rooted in our culture that I don't even wear my alma mater hoodie because I don't follow basketball. Sports is the only reason why anyone would that apparel, I guess.

Maybe it took Guiliani back 40 years. He was at about 1920 before but he seems closer to 1880 now.

... in response to “feedback from the filmmaking team that wanted the actor’s remarks to be centered on the movie.”

Fuck that. You had de Niro submit a speech because you want to broadcast his words. You tried to make him a puppet and have your words in his voice.

The only thing actions like this cause is that it makes people wonder how many times smaller voices simply just went with the puppet speech.

I can't believe they asked someone of talent to write a speech and think he'd just roll along with major changes in the voice.
