The cartoonists from Charlie Hebdo were not Muslim. They were under no obligation to follow Muslim law.

Let's look at it this way: I'm sure there are people out there that get plenty offended when my hottie neighbour leaves her house with her flowy hair out in the open, and wearing a mini-skirt. Should the possibility that she might be dressing just to get attention be under consideration? Should she stop, because,…

"For me, I think it's a mistake to make caricatures of what different cultures worship," said Miyazaki when asked about the Hebdo attack [via Yahoo! News]. "It's a good idea to stop doing that."

I think it's iffy to argue "free speech has consequences", when the factual consequence was getting shot and killed for drawing satirical cartoons. It sounds like a way to normalize terrorism, and make it an expectable way of communication in the public sphere.

Well, I keep forgetting who Channing Tatum is, and I have to google him whenever he's mentioned, every single time. I guess he's just some dude, I dunno. \o_o/

I don't care for Cumbs either way, outside of his work, but the imaginary boyfriend thing going on towards him and other celebs, mostly single men, with resulting bad-mouthing of SOs that might appear in the long run, creeps me the fuck out.

The SPN fandom has a gif for everything. Just accept it and move on.

Hurray frostiron!!

"It's like the shippers who are so into fictional Sherlock-John as a pairing have transferred their ire to the real-life fiancee"

As with most erotica/ porn, just so long people can tell apart their fantasy from reality (and don't get icky and intrusive about the lives of actual gay people), I don't catch the issue with it.

There was some Gillian Anderson goodness, over at the Nerdist podcast, this past week. I haven't listened to the all thing yet, but I'm kinda crushing.

I grew up in a cultural environment where the vast majority of books were written by men, movies were centred on male characters, tv shows likewise (exception made to telenovelas, perhaps?), and most opinion-makers on tv, newspaper, and radio were and are male. I'd wager this is the case for most women, is most…
