I love when child rape apologists say “oh but what if they are still together and have kids and it was true love?” If the foundation for your love is child rape, it’s not true love. It doesn’t matter if the victim is Stockholm Syndromed enough to be with you when they grow up. That doesn’t mean you didn’t commit a…

I was genuinely not sure what to make of this when I saw it. I felt like I thought it was going one way, which is to say that it was going to make fun of #notallmen, but then women ended up being the target instead? I wasn’t offended by it or anything, I just felt a little confused, and thought maybe it could have…

Given that Charlie’s family is so impoverished, I’m actually not surprised to hear this. Most of the children in the book fit a stereotype of the time, and a black Charlie would’ve fit with a lot of images of black American children.

One of my favorite former co-workers, in the goof-off time before a staff meeting, listened to three or four guys in a pissing contest over their smartphone specs and apps, then pulled out his flip phone and announced, “I don’t like to brag, but my phone can call a number where they tell me the time AND the…

I really don’t understand iPhones. People with Android phones have had all of these new edgy tomorrowland features for years. Why would anyone pay $1,000 for this nonsense? I mean if you’re one of those Apple brand loyalists, ok, cool... But honestly at this point my main question is: WHY.

not to put too fine a point on it, but when the beauty pageant contestants and the comedians are the ones calling out the racist and inflammatory rhetoric of our president and not, oh I dunno, OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, then there seems to be something deeply amiss with our country

Kehlani is hot, up and coming, and just came out. Stormzy is legit and knows how to have fun(as evidenced by his bits in chewing gum). Love them both!

Why can’t these dumbfucks learn the difference between stuff that goes on between consenting adults and an adult—usually a straight man—raping a child?

My vote is for “Loving Highway” after Mildred and Richard Loving of “Loving v. Virginia” fame. Also “loving highway” has a sort of poetical justice in replacing “that old asshole racist highway.”

Where do you draw the line between telling important stories and not wanting to see yet another hardship porn featuring brown children? Why are brown children’s stories only worth telling in the context of abject misery? For the love of Pete, no more Beasts, whether they be of No Nation or of the Southern Wild. No…

*famous person says something fundamentally supportive in an imperfect way that is emblematic of a much larger problem: which is that white, cis, straight people refuse to recognize the spectrum, influence, and importance of queer history and culture.

ME:

I got that message on a field trip to the Museum of Tolerance in fifth grade.

I guess the congressman is not aware that what was inflicted upon Jews was done by a nominally Christian (Catholic, but in the same family as those who believe in the divinity of Christ) nation on a non-Christian ethnic group (as well as other discriminated classes). The idea that speaking about a religious war and…

Seriously. The Nazis weren’t “terrorists”—they were the actual government. And if you replaced every “Islamic” with “Jewish” in his little Facebook screed, you’d pretty much have *exactly* the official policy and rhetoric that led to Auschwitz in the first place.

It’s telling, what this guy’s take-away from Auschwitz was. His response was, “Protect from outsiders.”

What pisses me off most about President Dipshit inserting himself in this story is that per his proposed healthcare reform, the children suffering like that here at home would be left to die while their parents are saddled with a copious amount of medical debt.

He needs to buy a Homer Simpson mumu or something. I’m tired of seeing his gunt.

I really thought this was an Onion quote when I first heard it. Then I realized it was real life and crawled back into bed.

There’s probably a technicality there involving the relative gravitational pulls of Christie and the sun.
