Ooo boy, I haven’t seen all of them but I have seen The Shape of Water. I can see it winning if it came out in like...2003 but damn. I’m surprised it won. They’re playing it safe. It was a lovely movie but sort of reminded me of poor man’s Amelie or Matilda more than...something that...sticks with you or feels new and…

Warning to adults everywhere. These kids are really smart and really good at the social media, stop screwing with them.

We do not deserve Chrissy.

Republican in the front, skinhead in the back.

First: what happened to Uma is a travesty, and I hope there are serious consequences.

But, as a 49-year-old, you know NEVER to put anything in writing that could come back to bite you - especially with the Internet. She should have telephoned and made her pitch, whereupon White Moose management would have laughed in her face and hung up on her, leaving her with private hurt feelings instead of public…

Well it’s a good thing Tiffany Haddish isn’t “medium talent” then!

As a history teacher in high school, I think this kid’s letter is the visual representation of awesome. At nine he is coherent, asking legitimate questions and pointing out problems. The real problem is the teacher’s dismissive comment that didn’t actually say anything. The teacher is disappointed? Maybe they should…

Don’t forget that his ‘poor white trash childhood’ image is an act:

Women are cast as the moral backbone of the society, so they become the custodians of sex. It’s men’s to take and women’s to keep. A woman’s worth is tied to how fiercely she guards it, so boys are conditioned to think ‘good girls’ say no and they are the ones worth pursuing. Her worth increases the more they have to…

Wow, what a dick.

Yep. But the maternal excusal of molestation and attraction to klan-flavored self-proclaimed Christians is sort of a package deal. In their world: all blacks (except that one they like) are niggers, all girls are sexable, and all white men are just one lucky break from being a billionaire. Those women try to get in on…

Any parent who continues a relationship with the person who molested one of their children should have all of their children removed from their care. How horrific. That man is most likely touching her other children, as well as whatever kids he can get his hands on. Molesters don’t just do it once, to one child. This…

“Why are we having all these people from shithole countries come here?”

So, I teach Rhet/Comp (argumentative logic in a written capacity) at the college level, and have for the last twelve years.

The level of obfuscation, dissemblance, and general reliance on logical fallacies that this administration continues to engage in is absolutely flabbergasting. I’m no political pundit, but I do…

I’m of the kind of feminism that says you should feel free to have plastic surgery if you want, because it’s your body. But, I also would support dismantling the system that makes you feel pressured to do so in the first place.

The are missing the cultural context in America.

I’m not a “poor little thing” because I don’t want to be harassed. I’m not objecting to it because I’m not strong enough to endure it, I’m objecting to it because it’s bullshit that I shouldn’t have to be subjected to.

The teddy bears made me think of the Hemingway 6-word-story meme. The one where Hemingway supposedly bet he could write an entire story in 6 words, and then wrote on a napkin:
