    Do you understand the viewpoint that if you are against affirmative action, you are appeasing the right? Actions speak louder than words, and while affirmative action wasn’t perfect when rolled out, it was better than lip service while doing nothing.

    Let’s take your statement for example: Someone wants to have equal and fair treatment. The left side makes an argument for how to make things more fair. The right side says no, you don’t deserve those rights. The centrist then says, I think you should have rights, but not right now, or not this way. When the centrists appease the right, they are seen as the right.




  • On Cinema at the Cinema. Tim Heidecker and Gregg Turkington have been doing this bizarre fake movie review show for over a decade now. Every year their season culminates in a live broadcast Oscar special that is a train wreck. They’ve also had their characters produce really shitty movies in universe that us, as the audience get to view. There are so many jokes that build up on the years of abuse each character hurls at the other. One season there was even a full mock courtroom trial where Tim was being tried for the wrongful death of 19 people that attended a music festival he put on.

    Most of the early seasons are available on YouTube, and there is even a guide @ oncinematimeline.com, but the newer seasons require a subscription to view. Really worth it more than any other streaming service.

    I can’t recommend it enough.
