The problem about being a raging asshole with a cause is that people still have to get through the raging asshole thing before they can even hear, let alone comprehend or respond to, what you're saying.

Weapons Over Freeway peaked when they fired most of the bad, stopped touring, and became studio perfectionists. 35 takes to get the sax solo in "Fire Away" but they were worth it.

Didn't we use to fetishize Le'Veon for taking a nap before deciding his direction?

It's shit. Just like your shit policy against profanity which distorts your shitty reporting even more making it into incomprehensible shit.

So this is what's above the fold in today's NYT, while the protests get two photos below the fold and a piece on A23. I know I shouldn't be surprised at this point, but damn.

Across all the major outlets — NYT, WSJ, WaPo, LAT, CNN, ABC, CBS, Fox News, NBC, CNBC, NPR, Bloomberg — the only outlet without a No Kings story on its home page is CBS News.

For every other outlet, it's near the top. Even Fox News is running with "Nationwide unrest looms as thousands mobilize"

If you want to watch a bunch of rich people and at least 30 cops get murdered on screen via ninja shit, the first fifteen minutes of NINJA III: THE DOMINATION are the movie for you.
