Yeah, she seems very, uh, zen? Every letter is so...peaceful. Even the ones about rough patches?

Class fucking act. That’s not what I want from my celebrities! Now, where did I put Leah Remini’s memoir?

“Can’t be a hipster. I don’t grow facial hair well, and I can’t stand Skillet, plus I’m too broke to buy iFruit.”

Ehhhh, thou shalt not kill is a commandment against murder, not a blanket ban on killing. God is all about state sanctioned slaughter, after all. Jesus is also not exactly against violence, he does tell people they need to sell their cloaks for swords.

He asked WWJD and the answer, evidently, was to flash a gun at strangers.

I grew up down the street from Josh. He was definitely raised in a conservative Christian home, but seemed nice and generally friendly, unlike the hateful and angry adult he has become. It saddens me to see that this is how Christians are being represented to the world. Also, what does it matter if my latte cup has a…

And other offended Christians have taken to writing “Merry Christmas” on their cups themselves. So their big protest against the evil Starbucks is to...give them money and write on garbage.

This also brought up the (non?-) issue of having holiday products showing up in Canada before Remembrance Day—11 November, for all you ‘muricans. Someone on the Starbucks Canada Facebook page suggested that Starbucks ought to make a Remembrance Day themed cup. I replied with something simple like “why do you want to…

I’ll only accept coffee if it comes in this cup:

Job 5:31: and lo the Lord didst punish Job by forcing him to drink only the coffee left in the Starbucks at 9:00PM, and wouldst not allow him to have a fresh cup.

The cognitive dissonance is basically bouncing off the walls here....

John 6:55

Remember kids: Black Lives Matter is a bunch of whiners who are looking for reasons to be offended. The real oppression is a lack of Christmas iconography on your coffee cups.

I don’t know. They may have a point. Those cups don’t look anything like the ones Jesus drank his Gingerbread Lattes out of.

Exactly. I looked him up and - surprise, surprise - his background is in business management, not academics. He doesn’t even have a PhD. A university’s first mission should be education, inquiry, and scholarship. Wolfe is an IBM upper-management CEO-track type, not an academic. It’s no wonder he’s tone deaf.

The head of a university should be able to give a better answer to that question, for fuck’s sake.

I’m a Mexican dude who moved from Northern California (Go Warriors!) to Kansas City. I moved into a predominantly African American neighborhood in the Inner City of Kansas City. All my cacausian coworkers: “Can’t believe you moved there. It’s so unsafe. Be careful.” Eight months later: Knock on the door from my…

I moved to Columbia from So Cal a year ago (poor choice). I’ve been continually amazed at the subtle and blatant racism I see every day. Missouri is stuck in the past, even in the most progressive city in the racist state.

Columbia is actually a pretty progressive city overall, relatively speaking, and it’s not like St. Louis has been a bastion of brotherly love in recent years.

The Department of English cast a vote of no confidence for the chancellor this past week, as well:
