RuPaul is homophobic? Ya’ll have got to be kidding me...

Maybe you don’t like “flamboyantly faggy” men, but I adore them with the rest of my queer family. Me and every queer I know, trans men and women included, have loved her show since the beginning for finally showing gender non-conformance in a positive, fun light. I’ve used it to show many queers who were afraid of…

“Intellectual standards” like shaming people for asking a damn question?

I doubt they care. They just want something that isn’t Middle Eastern or Arab so they can argue it isn’t racist.

Its not a medical order, its a tattoo. Did you miss the guy with the DNR tattoo who didn’t think anyone would take it seriously? This is the complexity.

She raps about shoes and cars and being a “boss bitch” over “worker bitches.” So praising capitalist exploitation is feminist now? Fuck WoC who work for a living, right? She’s a shitty rapper over a earworm beat who’s profiting off indoctrinating capitalist ethos into young people, especially of color. Its sad what…

He’s not legally obligated to do anything with his privately-held business. He can destroy it if he wants, and he did so. Just because we’re free to do it, doesn’t mean its morally right, and this was a fucked up decision. If it was about money, he would’ve tried to sell the sites and the huge readership. This was…

Its always been privately held, so its financials are not public record, but many former writers and editors have claimed this. It existed since 2002 without any deep-pocketed backers. One of its cofounders wrote about living with his parents, so it doesn’t sound like they were making significant profits, but enough…

Again, Gothamist wasn’t a money loser. It was profitable. There’s no reason to believe the union would try to bankrupt the company.

He didn’t say they couldn’t be run profitably. He implied that DNAInfo was unprofitable, which it was since he founded it. Gothamist was profitable on its own before Ricketts bought it 7 months ago. Its incredibly low of him to say that he couldn’t “crack the code” on Internet newsroom profitability when Gothamist did…

Gothamist was profitable before Ricketts bought it 7 months ago. Ricketts was happy with his own DNAInfo losing money for years until they unionized.

Gothamist was profitable before Ricketts bought it 7 months ago.

Responding to your deleted comment: The vagueness of his comments just imply that DNAInfo was unprofitable. Gothamist was profitable before Ricketts bought it 7 months ago. The union just officially formed, so there were no definitive cost increases that would justify unprofitability. He just didn’t want to deal with…

Gothamist was profitable alone, but it was profitable only after many years of building its brand across various cities (DCist, SFist, LAist, etc.). Many of the earlier years were supported with unpaid labor by journalists who wanted to write about local issues in their communities. The web resources are easy, but…

Gothamist was profitable by itself before Ricketts bought it 7 months ago. Note he only talks about DNAInfo’s financials, which Ricketts founded years ago and has been unprofitable ever since.

Most people in PR are too poor to pay income tax anyways. They all however must pay payroll and other taxes, so most people in PR pay the same taxes as they would on the mainland.

Congress has to grant statehood, and a GOP Congress isn’t going to do it for PR. Aside from any other reason, PR votes Dem.

According to my dermatologist, an individual bite from a bed bug, mosquito, or flea will all look the same regardless. Even in a biopsy you can’t tell them apart. However, bed bugs and fleas tend to bite in rows of 3 (“breakfast, lunch, and dinner”). So if the bites come in rows of 3, you should first check for fleas;…

Being a womanizer with a bad temper is NOT the same as being a rapist. I don’t understand why people keep conflating the two.

Since Marsha likely wasn’t close to most/any of her blood relatives, would Lopez’s claim of being her queer daughter carry any weight?
