A "FIFA Peace Prize" is tantamount to getting an "AutoZone Best Actor in a Dramatic Play" award.

And "I want to really save lives" is rich coming from the homicidal slob who is murdering people on fishing boats in the Caribbean.

Serious question: if Trump tries to go for a 3rd term, can Obama also run for a 3rd term? How about Clinton? Or George W? Just a smorgasbord or the past 30 years of people who have won 2 Presidential elections...

HIGH FIDELITY was released 25 years ago today. One of the most successful adaptations of a nick Hornby novel, and as popular with music lovers as movie fans, the behind-the-scenes tale has to be in the Top 5 making of stories…

“One young man sobbed when a guard pushed him to the floor. He said, ‘I’m not a gang member. I’m gay. I’m a barber.’ I believed him. *** He “began to whimper,” as his head was roughly shaved, “folding his hands in prayer as his hair fell.” He “asked for his mother & cried as he was slapped again.”

It's weird how whenever guys say they're bringing back traditional masculinity they don't mean owning your mistakes or pulling a neighbor's car out of the snow or keeping it secret from the party that you got bit by a zombie it's just the part where you don't help with chores

TikTok and all social media companies in China, have to give the CCP user data on demand. Banning TikTok is not about free speech throttling, rather a legitimate concern about giving a foreign government direct data mining access to private US citizens.

What drives me nuts about the trans youth "debate" is how much of it consists of people who don't know anything demanding compromises that already exist.

Hormones and surgeries for minors receive ABSURD amounts of regulation and scrutiny! Either engage with the facts on this issue or shut up.

Jesse Singal's life's work is laundering transphobia into language that that cocktail party set finds palatable. This technique attacks a weakness of liberalism and democracy, and it's being exploited ruthlessly right now.

You have to treat the shtick like the thing it's pretending not to be.

the lesson of the election isn’t “we should give up on trans rights,” it’s that the GOP took an issue that negatively impacted almost no one and made it a headliner. why would it help to surrender on an issue if they can create a grievance from thin air?
