Amen. As the GITMOs & 'Alligator Alcatrazes' continue to grow, so will the list of people who will be sent to them. It's the same fallacy that is consuming the moderate LGB's who think by betraying the T, they will be spared.

One aspect of fascism we talk about the least: It causes a lot of people to sell out neighbors and kin alike for what amounts to really shitty candy. Just like Edmund in Narnia. Think about that as the CEOs line up to kiss Trump’s shoe.

Yes. But at the same time, also a very un-racist casting decision to put Glover in the lead. He carries the movie and you ultimately believe in his ability to square up with the predator in ways the paramilitary troops could not. Totally earns the respect his opponents give him in the end.

THE CRUELTY… ICE snatched a high school student while he was walking his dog. Agents tied his dog to a tree and, and for extra fuckery, unclipped the collar—letting him run loose on a busy street. According to family, agents joked during his arrest, laughing about the $2,500 they just secured.

How Sony feels knowing they sold off KPop Demon Hunters to Netflix for scrap parts, only for it to become the biggest animated movie of the summer. Were they worried it was 'too woke'? Did they not have someone under the age of 30 who could tell them this was a really, really bad idea?

Sorta. I was a member of Up With People, a multinational youth org mocked and derided by such programs as South Park and The Simpsons. We traveled the world and performed live multicultural song and reviews that included stilt walkers, light shows, and the like.

Yesterday was kind of a stressful one, so I was hugging my wife to feel better. But as I did this, my dog started pawing my hand because he wanted a hug, too. So we picked him up for a group hug, and he was beyond elated. Really a top five dog moment in my life!

Folks gripe when celebrity guests do this at fan conventions. They need to learn that it's taxing to shake hands and hug a bunch of strangers all day -- especially many con attendees who are simultaneously demanding while also hygiene optional (to put it mildly). It's work. Let them get paid.

I’ve had a difficult time celebrating the ‘edgy’ return of South Park for several reasons — the biggest one being that when the nation is dominated by the Cartman mindset, the show feels less like a comedy than an explanation of how we got here. It’s ‘the Archie Bunker effect’ writ large.

Their cope to The Trump Years 1.0 was five seasons of lazy weed episodes, and admitting Al Gore wasn’t wrong about ‘Man Bear Pig.’ Felt like a depressed reflection of guilt, because it sure as fuck wasn’t funny.

I grew up in the American south, a place where so many working class white people celebrate the 'legacy' of ancestors who died facedown in the mud for no reason than to preserve the wealth of plantation owners. Sad the mental fallacy of the white working class dupe is not exclusive to my region.

Stoked! During the period of his time when he was a disgraced minister, my dad would pick up substitute preaching gigs at regional churches on Sundays where their regular preachers were out sick or on vacation. I loved those trips because they had Chick Tracts that my regular church didn't carry.
