I’m not understanding exactly what the right wingers are decrying and why.

He happily read the Pianist because it had a movie version.

As a Jezebelian you have way more in common with Tumblr than you think. The two sites are practically mirror images of each other. Don’t let yourself believe that you are so much better.

When I was in college, professors assigned work, no one asked if you wanted to read a book you didn’t like or not.

Yeah, the girl who refused The Sandman thought it was “weird” and wouldn’t elaborate. The kid who didn’t want to read Maus felt it was offensive to his family’s history as German immigrants. There was no convincing him that by reading Maus he could bring his family’s history to the discussion and offer a new…

There was a Politico article immediately after the DNC in which many of his delegates complained that the Sanders campaign didn’t prep them at all. Those assholes screaming from the California delegation? A lot of them genuinely thought that it was a contested convention and their job was to try to win the nomination…

I’m just over here in my flannel and Doc Martens humming Heart Shaped Box.

As a college professor I can only speak from my experience and here it is: trigger warnings are used by students mainly as a way of getting out of work or for not having to read literature that they don’t want to. In legit cases (such as a veteran fresh from Afghanistan who didn’t want to watch a segment of Band of…

I’m a younger millennial, and are you joking? Safe spaces might be valid but the discussion over them has certainly been cartoonized both by their detractors and supporters and to ignore this fact and the fact that they’re used to browbeat dissent only hurts any attempt to fix social issues.

The thing about purity tests is that they largely boil down to “Are you me or someone who I have placed my blind and absolute faith in”?

We’ll be the judge of that.

I don't even eat ice. Global warming.

My friend the Bernie delegate is now saying that witnessing the blatant corruption at the convention has given her PTSD. Being nice has gotten to be more of a struggle with her and her friends.

Has anyone created a lefty “purity test”? I ask this as a 100% pure lefty.

I heard it on one of “the shows” as ump calls them. Apparently, someone in the crowd started chanting “Build the Wall” and holding up a poster saying the same, and he ignored him until the crowd began to chant along with him, and then he basically said fuck it, and repeated the line back to massive cheers. lol

The even greater part you forgot to mention was that former UKIP leader Nigel Farage was there and while not openly giving an endorsement to Trump said that The Republicans were just like the people who voted to leave in Brexit. The same people who ran a campaign of xenophobia and racist ideologies that led to attacks…

It’s such a stupid question all around. And like you said, not backed up by research - Bill grew up really poor!

On Super Tuesday the coverage here was Bernie wins in Oklahoma. No, I’m not kidding. And that a Kardashian thought Super Tuesday was a sale.

It’s already been said in the comments but I’m going to rehash it anyway because apparently this is confusing: Jez has pretty much been anti-Hillary since the get-go. And I read Jez a lot! But it’s pretty funny how you want to be serious news when it comes to asking her only negative questions and yet there really is…

Seriously? You sound like an entitled drama geek who takes to Facebook to post a long, self-entitled rant about not getting the lead role in the senior musical, which, by the way, you feel you deserve because you were in every play and musical between middle-school to senior year (more than that person who just joined…
