And it's such a shame we live in a society where you're obligated to watch and listen to everything she does.

Maybe it's a little of column A, little of column B.

You need to check your perspective if Miley Cyrus is able to rustle your jimmies.

Well, playing video games for a living certainly doesn't do your body any favors. I'm not predisposed to weight gain but I'm already feeling negative affects from my 12 hour a day office job I took a year ago.

What is that gif from?

From my perspective, she's never made the south look good. But then, the food my cajun grandmother made puts her disposable, butter drowned, funhouse mirror take on southern soul food to complete shame. (Which was, as I've come to find, one upped by the food my black friends' grandmothers made for them.)

Having been raised in an average middle class home in the 80's and 90's, we have binders full of cheap 35mm prints done on either diposable cameras or low end consumer models. They're not that great. Unless your parents were rich or camera nerds, chances are they weren't using some fancy SLR and most of your baby…

And as we know, strip clubs are not IN ANY WAY guilty of promoting dehumanizing cultural norms concerning male/female relations. Nope, no room for societal criticism or self reflection at all. Everything is fine. Sexism is over.

My problem with that video is that she thinks Sarkeesian was criticizing the female characters themselves and not the creators who wrote them into marginalized roles. It also falls into the trap of not recognizing that exceptions to the rule are just that: exceptions. Sarkeesian showed clips of dozens of games that…

I totally get why this could bug people. That said, I like the song. I'm not gonna claim its great music or track of the summer or anything but it's catchy and dumb in all the right ways and I usually like Rihanna songs. Rihanna turned it down (or at least her reps did), Miley took it.

Tywin, Roose, and Balon need to all move into a single castle to raise the leftover orphaned Stark kids as a way to make amends.

I hear the Playstation Move controller works great for first person shooters and there are attachments like the MOVE Precision Shot 3. And since PS4 will support existing Move hardware, its not a bad investment. But you will need to use the the secondary joystick in your other hand to move around as most console…

Real talk? Props to Nintendo for FINALLY putting Peach back into a A-List Mario game as a player character.

The main part that resonated with me was the part about policy. It's actually trivial for PRISM to do what we all fear they're doing if you ignore the bugfuck insane scale of it. And for most people it doesn't matter. Today. But how would you feel if this story was broken during a crazy evangelical cowboy fascist…

And how does our state "protect" black people in high crime urban areas? By locking them up in disproportionately high numbers and shipping them off to one of our many dozen for-profit prisons across the state. Meanwhile the communities have fewer and fewer men to work and support families, driving young kids to try…

Here's the fucked part: I don't want to give up the internet as scary as this stuff is. It's a gilded cage that's super comfy and all my friends are here. Even if I wanted to, it's not exactly trivial to just boycott the IP standard of communication to protest this shit. It's everywhere now.

Pass. I consume more than enough fiction filled with ironic, self-aware, meta side-eyeing.

"The thing going on right now are people that are not nerds are claiming to be."

There is a legitimate rift between comedy geeks who remember a time when comedy clubs were essentially private spaces and the young folks who live in a world where anything said publicly is immediately available for public scrutiny. This applies to women's issues, race, and other rough subjects. Most comedians have to…

I buy disposable single blades for my face and spend about as much. Even ditching them after two uses, it takes me almost a month to go through a 3 dollar bag of them. I keep trying to explain the world of difference between dragging one sharp edge across your face and three or four to my friends.
