Kid Rock Goes on Alcohol-Fueled, Profanity-Laced Anti-Oprah Winfrey Rant
Kid Rock is no fan of Oprah Winfrey. The Trump-supporting rap & roll act—now considered a country musician— made his disdain for The Queen of All Media very clear (again!) when he went on what appears to be an alcohol-fueled tirade last week at the Honky Tonk bar in Nashville.

I Will Never Forgive America for Trying to Convince Me That Richard Spencer Is ‘Dapper’
The pathologically un-rewatchable Joker has become the highest-grossing R-rated movie in history, surpassing Deadpool 2. I am not surprised by this, as the audience for depictions of maladjusted and sexually frustrated white men finding catharsis in violence is, well, bottomless.

White-on-White Violence: How a Bedbug Diss Teaches Us Everything We Need to Know About White Male Fragility [Updated]
The white male ego and Twitter don’t mix. The white male ego is a frozen raindrop falling on a bed of ice. Twitter is a flamethrower. The white male ego is freshly fallen snow. Twitter is dog piss. The white male ego is a snowflake. Twitter is hell. On Monday, “Let me speak to your…

As the nation celebrated the national holiday that symbolizes all men being created equal, a small minority of mistreated Americans cranked up the Caucasian outrage machine to address an egregious injustice that threatened the happiness and well-being of people everywhere.
