I watched a promo for Carol. Thought it was all fun and games. Just a little commercial before I got back to a 2 and a half men rerun. No big deal. JUST a movie.

It seems extreme that simply recalling the first name — while otherwise using the feminine pronoun throughout, and never calling today’s Caitlyn Bruce instead — would be “transphobic.” It’s getting to egg-shelly around here.

I’m not saying that it was ever the right thing or not a disgusting thing to do but the sad fact is that in the 70s, lots of rock stars - most rock stars? - fucked 13 and 14 and 15 year old girls. These rock stars are old men now. Getting retroactively pissed off isn’t going to accomplish anything. I’m just glad that…

Yes! I was waiting for him to thank his assistant, Jai Alai.

If you truly believe that the color of one’s skin is a purely cosmetic difference, how does the altering of one’s skin tone automatically equal mockery? We do not consider those who dye their hair or who don the garb of another culture, so long it is done in the celebration of that culture, to be mocking out of hand.…

This is a terrible article.

Could we have an actual discussion, maybe? Wouldn’t it be more helpful to explain to people who might not understand how this is not an appropriate way to draw attention to a worthy topic? Instead of mocking and condemning dogmatically, could we explore the ways that this cause could be better served, and educate one…

It might seem minor but imho, I think PoC Harry and Hermione would add a lot of depth to their characters. For Hermione she would be marginalized in both the wizarding and muggle worlds. It would make her intelligence and looks, when mocked, more likely to be racially motivated. Her struggle would add a lot of…

You’re not. She explains it more today. There has to be something “attractive” for ISIS to gain support and she just wants to understand what it is. If you don’t understand why they’re gaining followers, you can’t begin to understand how to defeat them or how to reduce the number of recruits they’re getting. Wanting…

I would like to subscribe to your newsletter.

Obviously, the picture is blurry because it was taken by a professional.

Dude have you ever met / been an actual teenager.

Whether I agree with her opinions or not, I think asking older women—especially one of Greer’s background— to sit down and let the young’uns take over is a bit much, too.
Let her talk and defend her views, or let her talk and change her views. If we just tell her to sit down and shut up, old lady with outdated views,…

You see, the “right to free speech” can mean a lot of things. There are some people, cartoon fans apparently, who believe that the free speech is really only a “right” in the sense that governments tend to say it is and therefore it can only ever be violated by means of government censorship.

I was escorting this weekend, and there were two signs I particularly appreciated: “No more baby parts for Lamborghinis!!!” and “We will adopt your children!!”

I felt like this film insulted the viewer’s intelligence a few times. It continually repeated answers to questions that had already been answered, say, by showing a vague newspaper clipping, building suspicion on an issue, including a wax recording of said information, and then showing the full newspaper clipping that…

Call in sick to work for a week. Reach out to your most trusted friends and talk it over with them. Try to eat and sleep. Go outside for fresh air and the opportunity to move your body. Write down all of your tortured thoughts in a journal. Meditate.

People get involved with others - including married or involved men - for a myriad of reasons and assuming the other woman did it to “prove she is hotter than you” is not only dumb, it’s just hurting yourself and falling into the trap I warned about - letting him off the hook by making this about you and her and not…

People who think you must, under all circumstances, immediately break up are by and large people who’ve never been in a very long relationship.

Check out SailorSun’s post, there’s a link to the episode you mentioned on youtube.
