I’d place bets on either Lady Bird or The Shape of Water

 

I feel like the last two award shows are probably somewhat indicative of what'll happen at the oscars so that's not great, it really felt like three billboards won almost everything

 

I went through Columbus day with my kids, and why it's ridiculous that he's honored, never stepped foot on American soil etc...and you know what? They already knew that. 5th and 2nd grade, and their teachers BOTH went over this with them. I was really proud of the school, cause I was ready to get into it with my kids. Even did a little research before bringing it up.

 

can he just not for once

 

When shitty people really like things I like I get more angry than I should.

 

*ben shapiro reading 200 comments about how dumb he is* hehe really triggered those libs

 

Gramsci and Marx did it first and best, imo.

 

Party City creates ad they know will cause a stir so that they can get free press when they pull it and in that way get more people to watch their ad, the pulls it for free press and in that way gets more people to watch their ad.

 

same thing PETA does.

 

jeff stein is not going to read marx and gramsci. plus neither of them specifically examine american corporate media afaik

 

Really makes you think

 

Not a fan of the new Twitter trend where we defend those being deported/discriminated against based on their criminal record.

 

Ratio hall of fame tho

 

Not sure it's a "defense" as much as a contrast in how two human beings were handled in very, very different ways.

 

I don't see a need to include the criminal record then.

 

I think there is a risk of looking like your saying those with no criminal record are "more worthy" but in that context it's being compared to a far right white guy to show the disparity between how groups are treated

 

Ok? Pass on the information to Gabe? I really don't think he meant it like how you seem to be taking it though.

 

I understand how it's meant, just a personal distaste of mine. Nothing more.

 

Jesus. What the fuck?

 

Lmao

 

I see "Seth Abramson" and stop reading, let alone "Seth Abramson" + "many online are insisting."

 

In Baltimore, we used to have a Gun Task Force that wore plain clothes, whose function was to reduce violence. Instead, they raided homes without warrants, resold drugs they confiscated, stealing from people suspected of crimes and those that were not, along with claims fake overtime claims. Their tactics are all coming out now that they’re on trial.

 

Speaking of Lucifer, so I had no idea that the lead singer of Boysetsfire, Nathan Gray, was a satanist. I like his new album and was listening to it last night, tweeted about it, and he responded. I was like, cool, I'll click that follow button and check out some tweets. I did not expect that. I dunno how I didn't know this, apparently it's well known and he talks about it all the time in interviews and old music projects and stuff. Somehow I just totally missed that and that's a weird thing to all of a sudden "discover."

Anyway, no real reason for sharing except I was like wtf.
