That wasn't even the funniest part of that incident. An old co-worker unfriended and blocked me because I said I liked Drew Carey better than Bob Barker. 100% not a joke

We were discussing game show hosts on Facebook and I made a joke like "I'll (use a cutting tool on) anyone who disses Allen Ludden" and got a 72 hour suspension

Met Eric Estrada last night and he told me he’s been a real life cop for some time and i woke up this morning thinking for criminals of my age being arrested by him would be really confusing

If you're not watching the "Big Game" tonight, join me at the Arsenal Bowl in Lawrenceville beginning at 9 pm, where I'll be spotlighting rock bands from Boston and Seattle! 21-older, $13, all you can bowl until midnight #SuperbOwl

Trans rights aren’t tanking the Democrats. Julia Serano responds in a forum on β€œHow Not to Defeat Authoritarianism.”

very excited to have my response included in the latest Boston Review forum against Democratic moderation! here it is, my best argument for why Dems shouldn't "moderate" on transgender rights & LGBTQ issues more generally (as they are inextricably linked): www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

/2 Bad Bunny stands for β€œimmigration” because he’s not white. His existence within the United States β€” and particularly his broad popularity and great success β€” are an affront to Trumpian white nationalist values. That’s the WaPo message, brought to you with Jeff Bezos’ Amazon smile.

Bad Bunny isn't an immigrant.

This shit is cooked through. 150 years of being a newspaper and now you're a 4chan comment thread.

No, and I know I've worked in media most of my professional life, but we really need to get past polite euphemisms like that.

Also, TPUSA hired him because he's a sleazebag, not in spite of it.

In radio, we have what are called "contest pigs" β€” people who try to win every radio station contest. I have a "request line pig" β€” someone who's calling multiple times (sometimes 8-10) per hour.

I'm about to do something I've never done β€” block his number
