Oh my god. Can you maybe not assert as if it’s objective fact that the violence in I, Tonya was intentionally played for laughs when the woman who played Harding made it very clear that as far as she was concerned it wasn’t? And can you maybe not privilege another Jezebel article as a citation over an interview with…

Don’t you get it? They’re victims of their own privilege. Check your less-privileged-than-them privilege.

I saw Fat Girl. It was brutal, but I definitely read it as a feminist film. Yes, it’s basically a catalogue of the various violences done to women. But I think it puts facets of misogyny under the microscope that aren’t usually seen on film. In particular, the relationship between the sisters is complicated. It’s…

It’s an easy target. It’s a small business that sticks out because they serve exotic (for most city dwellers) meat. And people think deer are pretty.

Fuck you.

No, because you have a choice about whether you smoke.

I really hope this person isn’t one of those people who goes around saying that a gun is just a tool like any other for them. No one personally identifies with their angle grinder. Even the most avid chefs don’t have window decals about their kitchen knives. I didn’t think of the baseball bat I used to keep by my door…

That’s ridiculous and condescending. I understand my own logic fine. I don’t think the “right” to very loosely regulated access to firearms trumps the right to life, liberty and security of person. (And no, “liberty” doesn’t mean freedom to own weapons, it means freedom from political oppression, slavery, or…

Smug Canadian here. I know no one asked for my opinion, but here it is anyway.

Funny thing: one of mine is Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours.

What kinds of things did they say that got them banned? I’m not surprised, and I know getting banned has historically been kind of a badge of pride around here, but I’m wondering what is specifically getting POC banned.

I can share my personal experience: my great uncle, who played a grandfather-like role in my life, was diagnosed with terminal lung cancer when I was 25. (He didn’t last long after the diagnosis.) It was the first time I and my younger brother really needed to step up to the plate as grownups in the context of our…

I worked a Demi Lovato concert. She’s the rare artist who personally thanks the local crew before disappearing into a limo at the end of the show. It’s a small thing but it makes you feel good.

Hey U.S.A.! We’ll give you Alaska AND you get to keep Justin Bieber forever. Deal?

Yeah except I didn’t say that. “Yes, there is a history of racism against black people (Nova Scotia in particular for historical reasons), which is still not over.”

Despite people not understanding his theories? But he wrote popular science books so that non-physicists could understand his theories! I think that’s what he’s actually loved for, not for being on The Simpsons once.

When I read “Broadway” my mind leapt to musicals and I imagined “A Streetcar Named Marge Except It’s To Kill A Mockingbird.”

Okay, I can’t edit this comment anymore, so I want to clarify. I’m not implying that racism against black people in Canada is NBD, it’s more that it’s not a thing that we left in the past, nor is it the most salient problem right now.

This whole thing really rubbed me the wrong way too, especially the headline. Between that and the fact-deficient and misleading dog article, it hasn’t been a good day here. I expect better.

First of all, Canada has a racist present as well as a racist past.
