Yo, I'm a white academic. I read a lot of theory and shit about race and engage in polite debate. Also, I read this site every day because, well, racists are also smug, fucking, shitbags who deserve a lot of swearing and anger. So hey, "nice," well-mannered, condescending, elitist, apologists, this fuck you is for you.

Y’all should listen to Professor Snapathon here.

Is the confederate flag ACTUALLY racist? Because a lot of my friends fly it in their windows and off their trucks and I feel like it's just a country pride thing.

Yeah, it’s actually racist, you fucking idiot. You want to express your country pride, have a biscuit or something goddamn.

Remember how, I dunno, 5-13 years ago, conservatives were always talking about how the office of the president deserves respect and it doesn't matter what your political beliefs are, criticizing the commander in chief in wartime is treasonous? Wonder what happened...

What an odd coincidence.

Good Reason to Kill #41: Employee of the Month

by Kevin

It's an old story, really: boy believes he should be Employee of the Month, girl is chosen instead, boy and girl argue, boy shoots girl's car.

It still seems worth mentioning, though.

According to CBS Miami, a Broward County man was arrested on weapons charges after he shot out the window of a co-worker who had been named November's Employee of the Month at the Deerfield Beach Walmart. Investigators said that after the award was announced, the two started arguing about their relative workloads. (The award confers no benefits other than recognition, apparently, so it wasn't that.) During the argument, the suspect "told her repeatedly, 'I'm gonna show you.'"

He didn't say exactly what he planned to show her, but apparently it was something like "I have a gun and am not afraid to shoot a car with it." A few hours later, a witness saw him park his car next to hers, and he asked if she was currently working. The witness replied yes, and a few minutes later, the suspect allegedly fired a shot through the Employee of the Month's window, then drove away. Especially since the act was captured on surveillance video, the culprit was not hard to find.

A spokesperson for the Broward County Sheriff's Office did a fine job with this one, although she did sound a bit like she was narrating a trailer for the movie version: "She was announced as employee of the month ... you would think that would be something good, people would be happy for her. But there was one employee who wasn't happy." (Emphasis added.) She didn't start with "In a town ..." but that could be added later.

Investigators said they were "still stumped on the exact motive for the shooting," which seems unlikely. The spokesperson was willing to speculate, though, not only as to the motive but also the shooter's job qualifications. “Perhaps [the shooter] wanted to be employee of the month," she continued, "but clearly these actions that we saw in response to this, I think we see why he wasn’t chosen as employee of the month."

I wasn't able to find any official criteria for that award, and my guess would be that they are set by the individual stores rather than at the corporate level. But I still think she is rushing to judgment on this one. Unless he had shown some sort of behavioral problem (like maybe firing at other co-workers) before the award was made, and the report doesn't say anything about that, I don't think we can speculate as to why he wasn't chosen.

We probably can speculate as to why he was fired, though.

On the biebs in brazil

Do you have any opinions on the whole situation with Justin Bieber and the prostitute? I know basically nothing about the culture or norms surrounding sex work, but I feel like it was maybe a little rude of her to reveal she slept with him? I dunno, I feel like confidentiality would be kinda important.


1. Not sure if she’s a prostitute.

2. Not sure if she’s the one who made the video public.

3. Not even sure if she and the Biebs exchanged any bodily fluids.

Honestly, the clip looks like some Brazilian hoochie got lost on her way to the bathroom, found the kid taking a party nap, and decided to blow him a kiss in a tacky-as-fuck video selfie.

The only thing more pathetic than her instinct to memorialize the occasion is the fact that it’s been viewed over eleven million times on YouTube.

Quite frankly, you should be ashamed of yourself for even asking me a question this stupid. As penance, you must now go memorize the names and accomplishments of this year’s Nobel Prize winners.

Yes. All of them.

Help Molly Holzschlag

by Rafe

Today I saw a number of tweets pointing to HelpUsHelpMolly. It’s a campaign to raise money to help Molly Holzschlag pay for medical treatments and health insurance premiums as she fights a debilitating liver disorder. She was forced to leave her job due to her illness, and her COBRA coverage ended on November 1. Given that she is not able to work, she needs financial support, and she will have to fund her own medical treatment while she is uninsured.

Molly is the author of a number of the seminal early books on Web publishing. To put it simply, pretty much everyone who works on the Web learned from Molly or from someone who learned from Molly. She has also been a persistent, longtime advocate for the open Web. If everyone whose career on the Web was launched in part due to her work donated a small portion of what they’d earned to her medical fund, she wouldn’t have any financial problems to worry about.

I strongly encourage everyone to make a contribution.

Before I go, though, I want to make a political point. The big story of the week was the Wall Street Journal op-ed by Edie Littlefield Sundby, who is losing her (seemingly very generous) health insurance because United Healthcare is dropping out of the individual insurance market in California. That decision is based at least in part on changes in the insurance market caused by the Affordable Care Act, and of course the op-ed blames ObamaCare for her predicament. She can’t find a replacement policy on the exchanges which will enable her to see the same doctors that she’s seeing now, and given that she’s undergoing very aggressive cancer treatment, that’s awful news. I understand why she’s angry, and why she’s angry about ObamaCare.

On the other side we have people like Molly Holzschlag, who’s in the middle of a fight with a horrible disease herself, and who is uninsurable at the present time. She was on an expensive COBRA plan, and when that ended, she was forced to go without insurance at all. As of January 1, she’ll be able to get insurance again, thanks to the Affordable Care Act. Edie Littlefield Sundby may not be able to get the same insurance, but she will be able to obtain health insurance in 2014, and so will Molly.

I wrote about something similar in 2010, about Hamid Mohajer, a restaurant owner who faced a cancer diagnosis. His wife took a second job in order to obtain insurance, and still wound up facing ruinous medical debt when the plan’s lifetime maximum contribution was exhausted. Hamid passed away just a few weeks after my post.

Edie’s story is unusual enough to find its way to the Wall Street Journal editorial page, while stories like Molly’s and Hamid’s are sadly common. I’ve seen too many fund raisers for people whose health problems have forced them into severe financial duress over the years. With the Affordable Care Act in place, hopefully we’ll decouple severe health problems from destitution due to medical bills.

Right now Molly Holzschlag needs the help of the community she helped to create. Please be generous.

Reverse Identity Theft

I asked a few friends whether they'd had this happen, then looked up the popularity of their initials/names over time.  Based on those numbers, it looks like there must be at least 750,000 people in the US alone who think 'Sure, that's probably my email address' on a regular basis.

The vice president of the University of Minnesota sent an email reminding students not to wear racist Halloween costumes, and that "social media posts have a long-term impact on your reputation." Did she just straight up tell us to shame racists by posting pictures of their racist costumes? OH DIP, I THINK SHE DID.

Seriously, guess what, fuckos, it’s a lot easier for everyone to see your racist bullshit now.
