"When all that is taken into account, some in the Legislature estimate that as many as 2.1 million Californians are being denied their right to clean water." Do you read the things you're posting?

Your state is so great and yet it has two million people that don't even have access to clean water. And you cannot be serious about California and civil rights. The law to outlaw affirmative action was called the "California Civil Rights Initiative." Native Californians always act like their shit smells like cinnamon…

The people who say "oh the job is so easy that a trained monkey could do it, so why should they be paid a decent wage?", do they understand that that is exactly by design, and that capital takes any and every opportunity to deskill labor in order to remove as much of labor's power as possible, precisely so that…

Uh, you do understand that them being paid a humane wage doesn't mean that you make any less money, right? But more importantly, did someone jizz on your last Big Mac? Who other than literally Scrooge McDuck actually has animosity for the lowest sectors of society organizing to better their circumstances?

Lady Gaga is the exception that proves the rule.

I admit I haven't read nearly as much Hannah Arendt as I should, but she has to be the most important philosopher of the 20th century, right?

Duke of football baby, we're on our way.

True, they're not the same, but as long as the White House keeps saying "We have intelligence and though we can't tell you what it is, trust us when we say that it's super duper awesome", the comparisons will persist.

My mom got me this book for Christmas because I was going to Stanford. It was really fucked up. Everyone was a scumbag and there was a little too much rape. Kind of what you'd expect from James Franco's subconscious. But I imagined it to be a somewhat accurate portrayal of what it's like to grow up there. The…

"Our culture founded from oppression, yet we don't have respect for em" ....something's amiss here.

Yeah, I've become much more of a skeptic about identity politics recently. It's nasty stuff, but I don't know what else works at combating institutional oppression. It's also perfectly fine to just hate on Macklemore because he's a seriously corny dude whose raps are pretty boring.

I mean, on a pure artistic level, people can do whatever they want. When money starts changing hands, it's a different story. Certainly, Macklemore doesn't fit the exacting "good ally" checklist, but I think the song has actually helped move the needle a little bit, so it's hard to argue with results. I've always had…

In college I washed my sheets every few months because that's how often I threw up on them. Otherwise I probably would have gone the whole year. Is there anything wrong with just admitting that a lot of men, if left to their own devices, will be slobs? It has nothing to do with "the civilizing effect of females", but…

"These are not based on how many tattoos or inches on a ruler." Sounds like he's talking about something else here. But seriously, I don't understand why we're picking on this guy here.

The worst part is that if anyone pointed out to Miley Cyrus that she has a habit of using black people as props and that people are offended she'd be soooo devastated and like that's not what she's trying to do AT ALL and she really loves hip-hop.

Gentrified music for gentrified Brooklyn.

Sorry, fuck that. I'm a dude and I use "I feel like" all the time because the whole masculine approach to language with is unrelenting focus on objectivity and "things either are or are not" is stupid and practically designed to get people to fight each other. Since feelings aren't allowed to be part of the equation,…

Even revolutionaries need their celebrity gossip.

The March on Washington had an everything issue. It's the pinnacle of revolutionary energy being co-opted by bourgeois liberalism. If you haven't heard Malcolm X's speech about it...

Do you actually know any humanities majors that whine about not being able to find a job? I still have yet to meet these mythical people. All the humanities majors I know, myself included, know exactly what we're getting into and we don't care because unlike most STEM majors I tend to know, we don't peg our entire…
