Bernie did have a problem with racism though, in that he refused to acknowledge it in any non-superficial way. He coasted through questions about racial politics on the talking point that he marched with MLK and that Hillary called young black men superpredators, but also staunchly refused to offer any serious…

He’s not a Democrat, though. He’s also not actually that compelling as a speaker. His dedicated fanbase mostly arose from people who liked the tone and the ideas of his speeches, not people who found him charismatic. For many undecided voters, he was pretty laughable.

I’m serious. Attraction is subjective, which is why some people are attracted exclusively to men, some people are attracted exclusively to women, some people are attracted to both, etc.

For one thing, most people saying this was not a terrorist attack actually mean it was not an Islamic terrorist attack.

If beauty wasn’t subjective, everyone would be bisexual.

I think it’s Jack Antonoff, who was the guitarist from fun. He co-produced a bunch of songs on Lorde’s new album, including both of the other singles.

What the cameras don’t show is the black bear laboriously putting on its brown bear costume.

I’m thinking that a significant number of the people who recommended those replies skipped the article and went straight to the comments to seek confirmation of their opinion.

There are a lot of reasons to hate Melania, but her English is really pretty good. I mean, most people who don’t natively speak a related language (Slovene is Slavic, not Germanic), live in a country where English is a standard or national language (she was raised in Yugoslavia), or devote all of their time to…

He’s a hawk, though. A war with Iran would be an absolute disaster.

She’s a new character who they called ‘the biggest new part’ of episode 8. There’s a little more information about her, but since you’re avoiding spoilers..

To clarify, I was not arguing that we should close our eyes and cover our ears when someone uses the Quran to justify their violence, nor was I arguing that Islam can not be interpreted in a violent way. I was arguing that we should be smart about placing blame and about our solutions to the problem of radical Islamic…

It is neither strictly true that ‘no real Muslim’ would commit a terrorist attack nor true that the rise of Islamic terror is rooted in faith to the Quran. Islamic terrorism is a result of a variety of factors, especially factors related to national and religious identity and foreign intervention. So, the Islamic…

why did you put the FYI at the end of the post?

Maybe “hate SHOULD have no place in America”. Stating that it doesn’t is inaccurate.

Honestly I think Whole Foods prefers to market foreign things as ‘exotic’ or ‘superfood,’ complete with fantastical descriptions of the amazing health of the society that uses it. Chia seeds, yerba mate, quinoa, kombucha...

Just pray it’s not the Orb of Time, or he could literally bring us back to the 1950s.

Hence, popularity contest. Half the country thinks he’s the best president of all time because he was charismatic and popular. His popularity doesn’t mean he was great. That’s kind of the point of the post you’re replying to.

I love Hiroshi Sato’s work on Haruomi Hosono’s albums Pacific and Paraiso, but I’ve never gotten into his solo albums. This is gorgeous.

The intent is to use a word that’s already commonly used as a singular third person pronoun rather than a more recently constructed word. “Ze” and other non-binary pronouns typically sound weird or “alien” to a lot of people and are widely mocked — unfair, but true. “They” takes some getting used to, but it’s a pretty…
