Racism, misogyny, and other forms of hatred and ignorance don’t become institutionalized overnight. First they have to be normalized. That happens when we’re forced to tolerate it in all its forms, big and small. An asshole may not be immediately harming someone physically but he doesn’t exist in a vacuum, he wasn’t…

There's nothing wrong with recognizing injustice and fighting to correct it. Allowing assholes to be assholes means allowing decent people to get hurt.

What’s really dumb is that there have always been people walking on egg shells in this country. It’s just that the people walking on egg shells today aren’t worried about getting lynched for drinking from the wrong fountain or kissing the wrong girl. They’re just worried that people won’t like them anymore for being…

He does have arms. They’re just small.

Buddy, if you’re not voting for Hillary out of spite, it’s you we can thank for the Trump Presidency. Until this country adopts a different voting system (instead of “first past the post” voting) we’re constantly going to be in a position where we’re voting against a candidate we hate instead of for a candidate we…

“I’m not used to being thrown out of restaurants.”

Mother of white man killed by police for drawing a weapon yells racist slurs at black reporter.

Interesting how the more aggressive one has more stars.

The worst thing is when characters from public domain works are shipped together in adaptations, and then people just assume it’s canon. For instance, people who ship Count Dracula with Mina Murray. In the book, the extent of their relationship is “he tried to kill Jonathan and pseudo-raped her” but thanks to a…

Terrorism. That’s the problem.

You ever live with a ghost? I have, and they’re basically house cats you can’t train or even discipline. A book falling off a shelf isn’t an existential nightmare, it’s pausing your Netflix binge of The Office, walking over to the book shelf and putting things back where they go. Then, whoops, the door closed when you…

Florida.

I wonder where all the “religious liberty” nuts are now that someone’s actually had the audacity to carry out Deuteronomy 22:28-29 and did jail time for it.

The Little Rascals, from 1994.

I’m not a violent person but knowing that fills me with the desire to hit something.

If you see someone being an asshole and your first thought is “OH YEAH WELL WHAT ABOUT _______” then you are part of the problem and you should be ashamed.

You know, I wonder what would happen if a woman were to police the men’s room.

What I don’t get is how they’ll make it really difficult to use a bathroom, an absolute necessity, on the off chance that MAYBE a trans person might commit a criminal act, but they’ll make sure it’s really easy to buy a gun, something no one should need, despite the possibility that MAYBE that will be exploited by a…

IMDb. Hands down the worst online forums you can imagine. It's one of those things people mock and sort of know about, but it's severely underestimated. I was there when the board for Fox's new Fantastic Four board was FULL of white supremacists. Thanks to their terrible mod system, these people got away with some of…

“Man of Steel, wherein Superman spends the last half hour bonking giant buildings full of innocent people together until they explode.”
