To be fair, the batshit side of Tumblr really isn’t driving this whole “transracial” thing.... At the moment, they’re too busy accusing John Green (he of “The Fault in Our Stars” fame) of being a pedophile to focus on anything else.

She got a light-skinned friend, look like Rachel Dolezal

Video not found?

It depends on the tournament — in many cases (like the champions league or the last two men’s world cup tournaments), earning two yellow cards in successive matches will engender a ban in the next match, even without a red card. That’s why Thiago Silva, Brazil’s captain and linchpin defender, was ruled out of their…

Loving your handle — the world needs more football puns!

How long has it been since you got it implanted? It might take some time for the effects to sink in — I know it did for me.

Do you think that every single fraternity member who joins KA has already been celebrating Robert E. Lee’s birthday on their own for several years? Maybe, but I doubt it. To me, it seems much more likely that these are kids who, sure, have unpleasant pre-existing inclinations about race, but then who wind up in an…

It’s because it’s tourists doing it, I imagine.

Three Cheers for Sweet Revenge or bust!!!

“Snitches get stitches” is just the Blue wall of silence for people without power.

a) The United States’s money matters not one iota in terms of its importance to the World Cup.

No one watches the World Cup for CONCACAF teams. If UEFA boycotts (which not all of them will do — the Spanish, for example, are still backing Blatter), then what you really need is CONMEBOL to go with them. A World Cup without Italy, Germany, Brazil and Argentina would be pointless.

Graceland was a staple of my dad’s road trip music as well, but I think the single most-played cassette was the Traveling Wilburys.

Orthodox Judaism is a lot more diverse than you’re giving it credit for. Calling a movement whose members live in New York City and ride public transportation “deeply cloistered” (not to mention all the Orthodox Jewish women I see at malls in Northern New Jersey all the time) is misleading. There are definitely…

Yeah, I mean, Henry was working for Nelson, and his marriage to Happy played out on the sidelines of a few episodes. I guess I just didn’t know a lot about her as a person — and obviously I didn’t know Betty’s fate until the end.

The more I read about her, the more I realize how many connections there are between her and Betty Draper Francis.

Yeah, but this kind of behavior is rampant throughout the American media industry. It’s not a Muslim thing or a “that region of the world” thing at all — hell, it reads like a treatment for an unaired episode of “Mad Men.”

There is nothing about the sexism in this story that’s particularly “Middle East-style,” though. You could find/replace AJAM with any other American media company, and it would read exactly the same.

Have you tried The Guardian’s US coverage? They’ve really beefed it up in the last few years.

As is evidenced by the fact that people actually unabashedly use the term “fur children.”
