My interpretation of Don and Peggy was master and apprentice where both consistently fail to realize how they benefit each other. Which in many ways is the professional version of a father daughter relationship. To me, this scene is about Peggy realizing that she has become Don's equal, and Don realizing that Peggy…

When I first read the word model I thought about a software model. Still seems awkward that we're using the term model instead of hostess.

Only if you completely ignore the definition of supernatural. The real culprit is ideology. It was ideology that helped Stalin accomplish his atrocities, and it was ideology that helped the Spanish Inquisition accomplish theirs. It may be more difficult to separate the religious motive from the Spanish Inquisition but…

Nope, I remember Douglas Adams being more mean-spirited about modern art.

To paraphrase Howard Zinn, the purpose of art is to communicate thought in a way that transcends the current cultural conversation.

When I read the tweets I read them from the perspective that this is a person that uses a lot of self-reflective and racial humour and these were bad jokes that missed the mark. As an fat person, I'm really sick of people being offended on my behave, to the point where I have to apologize for not thanking them.

True atheism is simply the lack of belief in the supernatural. If you're talking humanism than you may have a point. Lack of belief doesn't define you in anyway.

But, atheists blame religion for war all the fucking time.

Lately it feels like offense has been intellectualized to a point where you need a 1000 word essay to explain it, and most of the people expressing outrage on Twitter are mostly afraid of being part of the problem.

I think Patton Oswalt's point is that people tend to use problematic as a one size fits all trump card while never really considering why the term should apply. Then arguing against it turns into proving a negative with the added baggage of it being offensive to not accept that something is problematic.

Problematic is like modern art. If you really want to understand what's going on, you're going to have to read a well written brochure.

You have to fight tedious with tedious.

I never quite understood why bands from Toronto (who are typically not really from Toronto) are always referred to as bands from Toronto.

Ever get the feeling you're pronouncing something wrong?

I went to see Fuck Buttons open up for Caribou and distinctly remember a lot of the indie snobs being really cynical about the Fuck Buttons because they didn't have anything that resembled an instrument. Caribou simply couldn't live up to the time I saw them headline as Manitoba with Junior Boys.

Wait, Ozzy Osbourne? The reality TV show guy? He's in a band???

The fact that frats still exists enforce the idea that nobody takes it seriously, and that tradition some how matters.

I've never heard that particular criticism. I usually get the dismissive "you must realize she can't really sing" or the "I don't believe that girl is an authentic rock singer" attitude from most people. I still hear people dismissing Bjork in the same way, and these people go through life thinking the dumb founded…

You gotta try having the unfortunate mixture of social anxieties and not being obsessive about things related to comic books and D&D.
