There’s a double standard here, too. White musicians wear Che Guevara t-shirts so much it’s a cliche and nobody thinks it’s much more than a fashion statement, but Beyoncé puts her dancers in black berets and suddenly she’s a full-on Black Panther? It’s ridiculous.

I was hardly a fan, but this Supreme Court decision is one of the most important things to ever happen involving video game culture and he wrote the majority opinion. It’s a minor part of his legacy, but given that this is a gaming-centric site, it seemed worth noting.

Yes, telling black people that they aren’t smart enough for “fast-paced colleges” (lol) is disagreeing. Also glad he’s dead.

Something about broken clocks.

Most mixed Black people can’t pass for white - look at our president. Does he look like a white man to you? He is not “passing” for Black, he simply is Black. No matter what he calls himself - Black or biracial- he is not white. And I bet you see Black people all the time who don’t look like the exotic fantasy of what…

I think it’s simpler than that. If you’re a black man, the police think you’re black and are therefore more likely to fuck with you. So you better integrate that into your person so you can deal with the police appropriately (with fear, lots and lots of fear).

it’s pretty difficult to tell from a graph all the ways people are pressured to see themselves, and how that directly relates to safety, support, and access.

Who would’ve thought, states that continuously cut taxes run out of money?

Hundreds of years ago, our worldview changed forever when we discovered the Earth is round.

I was all prepared to be *pissed* at the dude for sharing his wife’s health data in some sort of patriarchal/puritanical move - eg. must know and control everything about her body. But he genuinely thought the thing was broken and was just looking for some tech advice! This actually seems like a sweet story, rather…

I particularly like:

I prefer to find out about pregnancy the old fashioned way, in the middle of excruciating labor in a deserted alley way, as punishment for my sins of the flesh.

Reminds me of one of my favorite Wodehouse lines— “he looked as if he had been poured into his clothes and had forgotten to say `When!’.”

Counter-counterpoint (that’s not really a counterpoint): all movies are better in a theater that serves wine. I saw Age of Ultron in my local wine-serving theater and I can attest that superhero carnage pairs nicely with merlot.

Nothing about Deadpool is subtle. Why would we expect his marketing to be any less?

The fact that the German Chancellor has a physics PhD, and Donald Trump is a legitimate US Presidential candidate says everything you need to know about the differences in our political culture.

It’ll put hair on your fetus.

Welcome to the trip, man.

I want gills.
