a kleptocracy of shellacked, fake-tan teenagers with receding hairlines, hrt muscles, viagra boners, and entitlement inversely proportional to merit. as bertrand russell put it: “the trouble with the world is that the stupid are cocksure and the intelligent full of doubt.”

Jared Leto may have a toxic reputation, he may have a wildly unappealing screen presence, but say what you will, he also can't open a movie either.

Lovely Wife has been out of town for less than 48 hours and the speed at which I reverted to “I use the same one bowl and one glass for all meals and simply rinse them in between uses” has been startling. Sad University Boy ever lurks

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

The constant struggle between my anti-carceral beliefs and this country’s need to chase down white collar crime like CBS cops chasing a straggly serial killer who leaves rhyming clues and just offed beloved number 4 on the call sheet.

Nevada could’ve fined Elon Musk’s Boring Co. more than $3 million, but regulators are seeking a reduced penalty of $242,800, citing an “extraordinary number of violations.”

Wow. Greg Bovino admits on camera that his agents can detain people if you look scared, change your demeanor, or grip a steering wheel too tight.

As his unmasked agents walk around with large guns to scare you, they may arrest you just for that — even if you're a U.S. citizen.

Drake’s lawsuit against UMG over Kendrick Lamar’s ‘Not Like Us" has been dismissed

"The Court concludes that the allegedly defamatory statements in ‘Not Like Us’ are nonactionable opinion, the motion to dismiss is granted”

They also noted that the song had a ‘catchy beat and propulsive baseline’

I strongly doubt any polling of high schoolers. I’m old but I still remember the national drug use poll they had us do with instructions the teacher had to be out of the room to “encourage truthfulness” and suddenly an honors class giggled their way through developing a drug problem on paper
