[brightcove vid=14370236001&exp=1526070353&w=320&h=288] From the Seattle Post-Intelligencer: A video showing a King County Sheriff’s deputy pummeling a 15-year-old girl in a holding cell was released Friday over the strenuous objections of the officer’s attorney. The case goes beyond police misconduct, County Prosecutor Dan Satterberg said in a prepared statement. “It’s about criminal misconduct. And that’s why he needs to [...]
omg its still black history month! had you forgotten yet?? i hadnt, in spite of what my sparse updating may otherwise suggest. i didnt forget; im just exercising my right to be blatantly shiftless without having a white man cracking a whip at my earlobes (let us all thank the ancestors for fighting [...] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkwVz_jK3gA] Roger Ebert remembers Gene Siskel. Gene died ten years ago on February 20, 1999. He is in my mind almost every day. I don’t want to rehearse the old stories about how we had a love/hate relationship, and how we dealt with television, and how we were both so scared the first time we went on [...] Here’s something interesting (via Pew Research Center):
My first thought was: I wonder how people are defining “friend?” If we’re talking about friends in the casual sense – someone you work with, someone you occasionally chat with – then these results are basically on point. Most people interact with someone of a different race on [...]
That scene in Ghost where Whoopi Goldberg channels Patrick Swayze and then has sex with Demi Moore is actually about white control of black female bodies. This has been An Overly Close Reading. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyd4NPvzKQg] This clip, from LBJ’s 55-point eruption last week against Milwaukee, will melt your face. We all know that LeBron was created by the basketball gods to obliterate the ceiling of hoops greatness. But come on. It just isn’t fair that he can do that. Iif he starts making threes with regularity, he will become completely [...]
A CT scan of a McDonald’s Filet O’Fish sandwich. [via Radiology Art] Out of Good Options for Detroit. When G.M. and Chrysler asked for billions of dollars in government money last week, they argued that it would ultimately cheaper for taxpayers than if they filed for bankrutcy. But the Obama administration is looking into [...] I haven’t spent much time on the blogs lately, and so I missed a ton of the hot fire the good folks at Pandagon have been spitting for the last few days. First, there is Amanda Marcotte’s great post on the huge discrepancy between the U.S. media’s reaction to Michael Phelp’s marijuana use, and the recent revelation that Mexico [...] [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUoiKMxSUCw] I have a few distinct reactions to this: 1) This is why I don’t watch television news. TWO minutes of a 22-minute broadcast devoted to this. They do a 2-minute run down of the headlines. Then let’s say another six minutes devoted to weather. Sports, two minutes. 2) Aside from her nonchalance about the domestic violence and [...] I went looking this morning after I heard that TMZ had gotten a post-altercation photo of Rihanna from someone in the LAPD. From the beginning, in dissecting this case, the debate I had was often over the term “visible injuries.” My closest friend was skeptical, saying ‘women fight dirty and we don’t know what happened…she [...] |
