I asked a question about getting cash back and the cashier said ‘next time ask something about Philosophy’ and I popped off with ‘What do you think of Hildegard of Bingen’s Scivas?’ They copped to preferring the 20th century logical positivists, so you know, problematic but at least honest.

Important to stress that: a) Pelley isn't some resistance hero, he's a reactionary centrist; b) Even this wasn't enough for Bari

That’s February, and my team and I are doing a story about the protests in Minneapolis against the ICE crackdown there. We’ve interviewed Senator Rand Paul, Republican, because he’s going to hold hearings into this, and the fact that a Republican was going to do that was quite newsworthy. So, we interviewed Senator Paul and then built out a story about what had happened — the killing of Renee Good, the killing of Alex Pretti, the protests. I felt it was very important to identify that the protesters themselves were being very aggressive and that they were half of these confrontations, and so I instructed my producers to find images in which we see the protesters acting aggressively. We found a picture of a protester chest-bumping an officer. We found a picture of an officer being hit in the head with a snowball. We culled together a lot of video of protesters screaming in the faces of officers because we were going to talk about the killing of Pretti and the killing of Good, and it seemed to me important to tell the audience about the entire context. I thought we’d done a really good job with this. We also included a picture of Alex Pretti before he was killed kicking out a taillight on a police car and made a point of saying, this is Alex Pretti and this is what he did.

This is the most tragically stupid take on a fight scene I have read in a long time. There isn’t a moment of that fight that isn’t clear, coherent and easily tracked. It’s also one of the best examples of ‘action as character building ’ in movie making history.

Assertions of cis male physical dominance being absolute and inevitable (which is JUST NOT TRUE, you can’t compare the top of one bell curve with all of another bell curve) is what THE PATRIARCHY WANTS FROM YOU. Because it makes anyone not a cis man feel like there’s no point in resisting.
