  1. "Defund the police" doesn't mean "Shut them down", it means reallocate the funds to better use than hiring more chunky white dudes with really short hair and a love for guns.

    Who watches TV? My 76 year old parents, that's who. I'm 55 and I gave up TV and a land line about 7 or 8 years ago. Yay plex!

  2. I like to think that Simon's neighbors hear him occasionally screaming "WHY?!" and think he's just having another existential breakdown and beseeching God for intervention instead of just ranting about sports.

  3. The reason Fox has so many viewers over cable channels like Msnbc is that Fox is a mandatory carriage service , which means than any satellite, cable or network thaat wants to aire in the US is required to carry that propaganda shitshow that wouldn't know a fact if it bit it on the ass

  4. Actually, a lot of police in America is quite overfunded, and buy a lot of military grade hardware and weaponry that feels like they are an army. And a lot of the problems are structural in a way that you'd practically need to rebuild them from the round up rather than attempt to reform.
