[News] Post a D&D Picture

Previous incarnations of Cleveland/P&C/D&D have had an image thread, to handle political cartoons and other image-based stuff that doesn't belong in the general post-a-picture threads.

If any of them spawn an extended discussion, please spawn it off into its own thread. Replies to non-picture replies should take the form of a link pointing to a post on a different discussion thread.

And I shouldn't have to say it, but the images still need to abide by the rules.

It’s interesting how TC, rather than apologizing and denouncing bigoted speech, accuses others of trying to dig up dirt on him. As if the folks who discovered his hate-speech are the villains here.

I know you are but what am I?

Thats more of a 'I know I am but what are you?'

Maybe a bit of, “Whoever smelt it dealt it”?

How dare you attack me with things I said (and clearly still believe)!!!

Considering that he was young and stupid, I'd be inclined to give him a pass, except that it's obviously the case that he hasn't matured since high school, and still believes every word. He's just a little more careful about his dog whistles now.

If anyone dragged up the pseudo-intellectual white-fuedalism-disguised-as-libertarianism horsesh*t I used to believe and write about I would apologize immediately.

Big difference between being young and stupid and glorifying the perpetrator of a hate crime.

Absolutely. We all make mistakes. There is a part of me that really wants to go through and purge my old post history. I've been on GWJ for 14 years. I was 22 when I signed up. I know for a fact that I've written things here that I'm ashamed to have ever found appropriate. However, it doesn't make me a bad person for having been insensitive and wrong in the past. What would make me a bad person is clinging to that past belief and refusing to adjust my opinions as I learn, mature, and understand the hurt those words have caused. What I hope makes me a good (or less bad) person is taking that understanding and leveraging my privilege to help boost that message.

Those words are immortalized. I apologize. I am sorry to those who had to read them. I am thankful to those who looked past my ignorance and insensitivity to help me learn and grow. I acknowledge that it is not your responsibility to educate everyone and appreciate your willingness to engage.

If we spent as much on teachers as we do on policing, there would be much less of a job for police to do.

Yeah but that would create a situation where private corporations wouldn’t be able to make millions of dollars running prisons. It would also provide infinitely fewer opportunities for white bigots to kill black and brown folks with impunity.

Personally, I hate predatory corporations and bigotry, but apparently I’m in the minority here. It seems that a great majority of Americans think it’s important to maintain systems of inequality.

But those so called “millennials” give me hope. The younger generations of Americans seem to want equality for all. Lets hope theses younger folks stay strongly committed to justice. I’ll be here to help them wherever I can.

Sure, but the line between Libertarian and hate crime is razor thin.

It's only inequality if you think that whites folks and POC are equal.

Aha but it would create a situation where private corporations can make millions of dollars running our public schools, so it's a win-win, really. I mean the public loses, but they're a footnote in this story.

"New Daily Low-Point" is an evergreen title for Republican news articles.

Mikel Jollett wrote an awesome book called Hollywood Park. He’s also the singer of a great band called Airborne Toxic Event. The bands name is a reference to an awesome book by Don Delillo called White Noise. Thanks for posting his tweet.

Will he though? The CDC vaccinations per day numbers are freaking me out. WTF is going on the last two weeks?

J&J pause 2 weeks ago, yesterday.

Yeah, but it's a drop across the board. I suppose the whole J&J thing could have had a chilling effect on all vaccinations. I hope i bounces back.
