The fratty undergrad bar where I went to college would play it every night at closing time, usually to loud, drunken sing-a-longs. I get that it is a guilty pleasure for some, but personally, I hate Journey with a thermo-nuclear intensity. I wish them grievous bodily damage.

I think it comes out of activist communities and academia. Part of the idea is that that rule you cite explicitly privileges the male members of the group: so one male chef in a group of fifty female chefs (or whatever) turns them all into cocineros, not concineras. An interesting usage that I like in written Spanish…

Hanging is too dignified for these swine

Co-conspirator with Susan Sarandon... we talking Geena Davis now?

now now, you can learn a lot from trashy romance novels

I used to want to apologize (for Bush, and now again) but it really isn’t necessary. Most people where I’ve traveled get what it’s like to not feel super proud of your government.

idk about Kelly Oubre, but I have chronic, regular cycles of depression, and nothing cheers me up like someone telling me i’m handsome. nothing wrong with that.

If you think that was a “democratic election,” then I have some bones to pick with your analysis. I’m not saying Trump (or Berlusconi, or Putin, or whoever holds power because of “elections”) is necessarily a fascist. The system in which they take power, however, is certainly corrupt beyond repair. Historically, this…

What’s conservative about Infinite Jest? Based on the bulk of his publications, DFW was center-left, and IJ is often understood as a critique of alienation, commodity fetishism, and consumer capitalism. It uses addiction, and drug addicts, as a central metaphor to describe about the artificial production of needs and…

Also when pundits try to become film critics: the author gets so impressed by the idea that “It’s A Metaphor!” that he basically doesn’t realize that he’s projecting his own incredulity onto a fictional black audience. There is no attempt to differentiate between the complex interactions between producers, screen, and…

How many condoms constitute a “year’s worth?” Does Skyn give the winner their year of condoms all at once, or spread them out? And if the winner runs out, can they ask for more?

interesting metaphor... mmm pie

I for one do not “hold the military in high regard.” Blackwater, secret prisons, massacres in Iraq, constant wartime propaganda domestically. And I don’t see a Constitutional Convention in our near future either. And we’re definitely not Superpower #1 anymore, whatever the shit that was.

ummm I like it

I thought it was pretty fun tho not really a game

Oprah... is not exactly a millennial thing.

I’m very curious about this

I work at a university and there is a particular kind of prof that pulls this shit. He’s edgy, wears skinny jeans, and is probably some kind of crypto-libertarian though it’s truly difficult to tell. What’s so bullshit here is the smug way that the slur is folded into the ostensible “content” of the speech,…

“I am white”
