As a person previously ambivalent to Beyoncé, I enjoyed the song and the video immensely. If it’s *not your taste* that’s one thing. If it strikes fear into your white heart... I don’t know what to tell you.
Is he not the coolest? Direct confrontation or shade, Obama gets it in.
I appreciate your willingness to write a story that reflects deep ambivalence. I think there isn’t enough of that anymore (everything is always strident and polarized) but you did a great job sitting with the murkiness of what this all means about Bowie’s legacy.
“...you can understand how Lori Maddox could have possibly developed not just a sincere desire to fuck adult men but the channels to do it basically in public; why an entire scene encouraged her, photographed her, gave her drugs that made all of it feel better, loved her for it, celebrated her for it, for years. You…
It is true. People have been getting outrageous bills for poison water. It doesn’t help that, even with filters, they are telling people to run their water for 5-10 minutes each morning to flush out any possible chunks of lead. Can you imagine how much water waste that is, every day, from every faucet? I’ve heard…
It was never about the source of the water, but about how they were treating the water from the new source. They were not using the same anti-corrosion elements, so when they switched to using the same water as Detroit, without having an anti-corrsion system in place, the pipes corroded, leading to lead poisoning.
This is a well-written, thought-provoking article.
By the time I hit my mid-twenties, after years of dating both inside and outside of the United States, I came to a…
Regarding your first point, this is my all-time favorite quote regarding Libertarianism (to the best of my admittedly limited research the attribution is accurate)
There are a couple of different ways they can go off the rails:
And let us marvel again at how precisely Andrew Sullivan, the man who spent thirty years slowly figuring out that modern American Republicans aren’t British Tories from his childhood, measured the pulse of our society.
I had no clue this was a thing, even though one of my best friends throughout college fit this to a T. Smugly hating the world and other people when he’s had every systemic advantage thrust upon him. Still love the dude, but it’s good to know he’s a type like everyone else.
I wonder at what point libertarians actually become crazy assholes. Like in paper “less government, more social freedom” sounds like a believable political idea. Did it just go off the rails at some point? Like Republicans used to be a real party. Then they adopted the Southern Strategy. Was there a similar path of…
God, thank you for drawing this link between the Pauls, “libertarianism,” and what I’ve always thought I was the only person to refer to as “South Park politics.”
I have a lot of red flags and I don’t particularly care that excludes a lot of men. I’ve learned enough about myself to know what I can and can’t deal with.
I usually request a phone date before I meet someone from an online dating site, which usually weeds out the crazies before I waste putting on my good makeup. My red flags usually deal with misogyny (not respecting what I do for a living, interrupting or mansplaining, etc.).
Doesn’t file their Tax Return. Briefly dated two different guys in two different states who never filed because “they always get money back anyways.”
WTF?
