Real Talk Tuesdays: Fake SVU
The clowns over at the Onion's AV Club have whipped up a series of fake captians at the expense of Law & Order SVU star Ice T. You can see them all here.

On hiatus this week. Tune in later and be a good person.
Real Talk Tuesdays: Ferguson
Last night, a grand jury decided not to press charges on Ferguson, MO police officer Darren Wilson despite gunning down unarmed teenager Michael Brown who stood in a surrender pose with both hands up. For nearly three months the country has been tense, awaiting justice. Last night's decision proves that a badge, a gun and white privilege are all more valuable than a black teenagers life.
I'm disgusted.
So what do we do? Before bed I was heartbroken - scrolling through my Twitter feed looking for information, insight, comfort, whatever. A statement from Michael Brown's parents asked for non-violence but instead to join their fight to require all police to wear a body camera. The U.S. Department of Justice just compiled a report detailing a recent test-run of police body cameras. Among the "Officer concerns about wearing a body camera"....was this gem of a statement...
“I have heard some resentment about the level of scrutiny that Chapter 2. Considerations for Implementation officers will be under if they wear body-worn cameras. This is especially true with the first-level response officers, who already feel they are under an extraordinary amount of pressure to get everything right."
Way Gone Wednesdays: Kentucky basketball
Your 2015-2016 NCAA Champions....the Kentucky Wildcats. Honestly, I'm not sure they will even lose a single game this year. Coach Calipari has a special squad on his hands - actually, he has two. He is mass subbing his starters for another 5, equally huge, equally talented bunch. In the first 13 minutes of the game last night all 10 of those players had already scored. They're good. They're scary good. Look for them in March.
Madhouse Mondays: Chuck D
This shit just made my day.
