"Someone needs to tell these idealists what happened in 2000"

Well, if there's one thing you can say about this show, it's that it is necessary. Finally Hollywood gets to the gritty truths we long for but are afraid to seek.

I know you're being facetious, but this is often an argument made in earnest so it's important to point out that the myth of the model Asian is not only harmful, but like all myths, not true. Some specific Asian ethnicity do well in America, but many struggle mightily in the same way most immigrants of color do. So…

I'm not terribly current on my terminology, but would that fall more under genderqueer than trans?

No, trans is when someone transitions from presenting as one gender to another, potentially including the use of hormones or surgery. Intersex is when someone does not have exactly XX or XY genetic pairings and/or has both or neither sets of reproductive systems.

Oh, you have got to be kidding sir. First you think of an idea that has
already been done. Then you give it a title that nobody could possibly
like. Didn't you think this through…

I share your secret shame! I listen to basically no pop music, but I think I've listened to emotion start-to-finish about a hundred times or so

I recently learned that a friend of mine (an under-employed math professor) has a website where he posts detailed reviews of classic books, but the synopses are all fake. Well, they're like 80% accurate, but then always contain at least a few completely made up bits (one of which is always a lesbian sex scene, no…

Not to go on a rant here, but why do we live in such an anti-intellectual world that doesn't respect the social sciences? No matter how many times I've tried to explain to the principal, school board, and local police that I'm simply conducting research and the reason my van has no windows is to ensure…

"Prince’s reluctance to play by the current rules may be hurting his career and legacy"

I hate to be that guy, but watching a slugger hit long homers off of a tee actually would be quite impressive. To get a baseball from motionless to enough velocity to get out of the field would be amazing, as usually a significant amount of the ball's velocity is supplied by the pitcher, while the batter is really…

Totally. And think how happy character actress Margo Martindale must have been at hearing one of her fellows living in lucrative obscurity is finally getting some props.

She knows what she did…

That's why they keep it safely atop Big Ben, to prevent this exact scenario

Man that got way more…pretentious than an article about a podcast about the Real Housewives series has any right to get. What's wrong with just liking a trashy tv show? Why does it always need to be examined as, like, the anti-improv which is really the realest form of art if you think about it, man?

Hey man, Metallica was supporting the idea of people unnecessarily paying for music before it was cool!
