If a person purposely fails to understand that “Israel as a people” are different than “Israel as a government” then it becomes easy to lie about someone like Tlaib and then misconstrue what she said for a gotcha sound bite.

She has not said anything that leading Israeli voices aren’t saying themselves. Public discourse needs to move beyond the immaturity of “If you say you like waffles, you must also be saying you hate pancakes”. Pointing out the inhuman conditions of Palestine is not the same as erasing the horrors Israel faced during…

Oh my god. For some reason, I’m really really loving that the first name in the “Oh, everybody was there! There was...” roll-call is motherfucking Flavor Flav. The hilarity of this is compounded by the fact that, if this is to be believed, Taylor Tay selected him personally. In my mind, this call took place in…

So the going exchange rate is three AV Club articles for one Variety article?
How do you even know to tie your shoelaces? You really don’t come across as intelligent.
Excuse me, I come to this site for escapism mixed with fundamentally despair-fueled snark, not heartwarming tributes and emotional reality. Please note my complaint.
I love how they are trying to be cool with the kids and then have the tag “shellstationsus”
Shell Stations US was probably their intention... but the kids will read it differently.
I’m with you on all of what you wrote in the first paragraph, but the second is the kind of insidious rhetoric that can and will do more harm to marginalized people than to bonafide predators in power; art does not, and should not, have to be sanitized for it to be worthwhile or acceptable as a form of expression.

Wouldn’t “My Dumps” have worked better?
He is so tedious going through customs, though. Saying “I have nothing to declare but my genius” was funny once.
I’m embarrassed for all involved, and no more so than at myself for reading about it.
...proper upbringing, I’d assume? Some manner of guardian saying, “Son, no, we don’t do that?”
