I started with Bittman’s “How to Cook Everything” as a novice and I would probably recommend that to a novice. It’s a good mixture of “things which are extremely easy” and “things which are recognizable and a bit more ambitious” that will let someone balance the feeling of accomplishment with gentle encouragement to…

Hundreds are dead, nearly 100,000 homeless, and your first response is a drumpf joke? Nice.

Manning’s about the only one in that trifecta of fuckery worthy of any kind of respect. She fucked with OPSEC something serious, and definitely violated her oath of service to the military, but at least she had the courage of her convictions required to face the consequences of her actions.

Snowden leaked his info to…

Assange is still a rapist tho

Today on the surreal public affairs program The View, Pamela Anderson, most recently an outspoken supporter of Julian Assange and a woman whose politics are actually quite good,

Hank Green is the only YouTuber worth a fuck.

You can’t dislike someone or stop consuming what they make just because of things they say or do. Where, oh where, is the justice.

I’m gonna need us to get to a consensus on what “cancel culture” means, because at this point it looks pretty much like, “Some people unsubscribed.”

It sounds glamorous but spending a week at sea or two or three days on a railroad to cross a country or from continent to continent stops being fun after you’ve done it a dozen or more times in a single year.

I so don’t give a single shit if he or his family do or don’t fly private.*

Depp should have no part in anything, ever again. Fuck that guy.

I can't wait for the day when this abuser's image isn't plastered across my favorite internet spaces anymore.

I remember a documentary many years ago about the Judas Priest court case, in which a family sued the band for influencing, through its music, their teenaged son to attempt suicide and disable himself for life in the process. As a parent I now understand better their anguish and pain, but the documentarians also…

First and foremost, sympathy to those who lost a loved one, a teammate, and a friend. Opiates suck and have destroyed hundreds of thousands of lives just so we can maximize shareholder value at pharmaceutical companies.

This is just sad. I battled with addiction for a number of years and have been sober for 4 years now. I count myself lucky that I cleaned myself up before fentanyl started flooding the market. I have known so many people...good people...that have died as a result of this shit that I sometimes feel desensitized to the…

The family also said in their statement that abusing drugs and alcohol was “completely out of character” for Skaggs.

This is a good way of putting it. I’ve also seen it said that when you tell a girl not to wear a short skirt or get drunk, you’re really saying, “make sure he rapes some other girl.”

Like most of Yoffe’s story, her overflowing concern and empathy for the accused perpetrator is matched only by her utter lack of interest in the experiences of alleged victims, except, in this case, to speculate that they got a “thrill” out of denouncing a man they say harmed them.

I don’t know I think it’s important to emphasize that this encounter wasn’t consensual (I mean it can never really be consensual with a 13 year old but this was just brutal rape). I remember reading an article by Polanski’s victim who was talking about the culture of the 70s and how it wasn’t uncommon to see grown men…

Hi, Jewish guy here: Roman Polanski is a piece of shit. The fact he suffered as a result of the Holocaust does not change the fact he is a piece of shit. The fact that his wife was murdered does not change the fact he was a piece of shit. Karina Longworth’s podcast “You Must Remember This”  about the Manson Family…
