So the Bafta thing-

Did he say that word at any other point during the show, or only when he saw Black people?

This is exactly right. The Onion quietly left Twitter a month ago and... our weekly subscribers went up. It's because we're doing well here, on Instagram and on YouTube.

As a business, being on Twitter is somewhere between useless or detrimental, unless you're selling boner pills.

Trump issued an EO aimed at increasing production of glyphosate, a chemical in weedkiller that has been linked to cancer.

He’s also directed the rollback of environmental protections over our air, water, and how much pollution corporations can produce.

A lot of talarico fans are the type of people who swear they can't be racist because they would've voted for obama a third time.

US group allegedly ran fake law firm and court proceedings to scam immigrants Federal prosecutors have arraigned four people in New Jersey, with a fifth at large in Colombia

You would think this would break some sort of law; that is if they cared about laws, which they’ve proven not to.

These people are deranged, evil savages. No law they pass can have any moral weight on free people; violating such laws, or assisting others to violate them, is an intrinsically virtuous act.

Jasmine Crockett Was In The Driver's Seat In Texas Senate Race. Then Colbert Happened. The Texas congresswoman is facing questions about her campaign strategy as her Democratic opponent James Talarico continues to gain momentum.

What if Talarico wins and his religious identity changes and he suddenly swings farther to the right? Then what? I'm sorry but I don't trust anyone who wears their religion like he does.

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

Oops. Turns out Persona, Discord’s age-verification service, was secretly screening selfies against government watchlists AND accessible by the feds. It's backed by Peter Thiel.

I remember her being called a communist for encouraging school lunches to include more vegetables

This is also a perfect example of how racism & misogyny hold us back.

Nothing is ever a good until white men sign off on it, even if it takes decades for them to come around.

I've said it a million times, and I'm going to keeo saying it-

Abolish ICE is the only reasonable position

The agency is clearly corrupt, and they're eroding public trust in both governmental and law enforcement at breakneck speeds

If ICE continues, nobody will trust LEOs in 5 years from now

They have no idea how lost they are, and they never will because they're allowed to just be this without consequences.
