“People don’t like to admit they’re able to be manipulated because it destroys our idealised conceptualisation of free will, which is why people are loathe to support rules to limit this kind of thing.”

I wanted to give a bit of love and attention to Pandorum as it’s not the greatest film of all time but it’s enjoyable and often overlooked. It’s more “frenetic action” than Event Horizon, which is why I highlighted the game parallel–but as Event Horizon is simply a brilliant horror film in the same sci-fi vein, I…

If I had to guess, too chunky to be coke. I’d bet it’s crushed percs. Plenty of access to them in a locker room.

I think the blame rest on both genders. I read an interesting story in Time last week that younger people are looking for a lot more in marriage, someone who is going to be like their coach and cheerleader, best friend, sexy hot lover, and bring out the best in them. At the same time, those same people report being…

So, since a lot of people seem to have forgotten, Mark Regnerus is a Catholic fundamentalist asshole who published a “study” that purported to prove definitively that gay people were not good parents. It was a trash study, and did a lot of damage because at the time it gave anti-gay-marriage advocates an excuse to…

I’m super excited to watch this. I’ve been listening to her wonderful openness for a couple of years now - ever since her first appearance on Howard Stern. Her first interview with him was probably the best interview I’ve ever heard anyone give. It’s hands down the best of the thousands that he’s ever conducted, as…

Exactly. Not that I don’t like hearing about gay men. I think Rich is a great writer. I really enjoyed his piece on Prep (written last year I think?)....

I think you’ve misunderstood what Bloodfiend was saying. OP wasn’t saying “women should write more about gay men”. OP was saying “on a website that’s geared to women maybe we should have less talk about cis gay men and their sexual proclivities, and more talk about queer spaces that are inclusive of those that…

I’m pretty sure you completely missed the point. Like Vice, the only gay people Jezebel seems to hire are white cismen to write about their perspectives. I am stating that I would be curious to hear from a lesbian POV from time to time, or a bi man, or a trans man if they have any on staff. Rich and Mark seemed to be…

I think, as someone in child development pointed out to me, that 5th grade is too young and 7th grade is better, is a good point for the discussion to happen.

Understand does not equal justify.

Hate has a tool in the hands of a majority culture to oppress and disenfranchise others is Racism. It can only be practiced by that majority culture.

Understand DOES NOT equal Justify.

Hate is hate.

How? How is that ridiculous?
Hatred is a human emotion. Understanding why others feel a certain way doesn’t mean you’re declaring their hatred fine and dandy.

I don’t think it fucks with kids heads to make them understand that hate is not something outside of themselves.

Yes, I’d feel exactly the same way.

Tremain Cooper, the uncle of a black child in Roberts’s class, posted a copy of the assignment on social media last week.. “He had become upset because he thought he may get in trouble because he wasn’t able to complete his assignment,”

This is just what Los Angeles needs. Another members only clique for people who can afford monstrously expensive classes and I am sure, gold smoothies, vitamin packs and talks about the “toxins” in vaccines.

Loom will provide a “community hub” where members can discus their dearly-held socially liberal beliefs while knowing they are fully protected from undesirable interactions with non-white or economically disadvantaged women.
