Just as absurd as a virgin birth, walking on water, multiplying fish and loaves of bread, transubstantiation, and rising from the dead in my opinion. Religions are absurd.

Buchanan’s daughter wasn’t running his business empire for him while he was off presidenting. Yes, it is a fucking problem that Ivanka will be in the WH enough to need an office while she’s running the Trump corporation. I think it’s a mistake to just hand wave this point away by saying that we already knew that…

Piers Morgan justified himself by saying he comes from a military family so it angers him when celebrities claim PTSD for promotional purposes. What it really indicates is that he has no concept of mental illness. PTSD and other mental illnesses are not solely confined to members of the military, just like any other…

Note that these people never suggest the man’s salary is cutting into their pay or that he sacrifice part of his earning power to help them earn more.

sorry, but that’s ridiculous. anyone who has worked production knows full well that is not how line budgets work. networks earmark $ for many different budgets on a given show, it’s not just a raw number. additionally, it’s highly unlikely for a successful show to cut essential crew unless they are simply overstaffed…

I’ve seen a number of crew member friends complaining on Facebook today that Rossum’s move was selfish, and in danger of costing lower-level crew their jobs (in an effort to cut the rest of the budget to accommodate her salary). It’s so infuriating. Don’t blame the underpaid person for the boss’ unwillingness to cut…

But what does it mean to be “dignified” and why is okay to police behaviour and sexuality of those who are X age? Why should she uphold societal expectations and definitions of dignity instead of resisting and doing what she chooses? Why was Prince’s sexuality always a positive and not hers?

Technically she is correct. She is an icon herself and a peer. I doubt that was shade since she knew the folks she named and respected their work. Perhaps she is just grateful that 2016 is almost over and she isn’t dead yet. Her career maybe but she is alive.

As a general rule, if it’s Camille Paglia doing it, then it’s 100% being done wrong (and probably very, very shitty, too).

I feel like there are a lot of ways to be a feminist, but as a general rule, if your way involves “mean-spirited discussion of another woman’s aging face and body” then you’re probably doing it wrong

She was a non-profit employee, not a government employee. Her Board protected her speech after a threat from the state governing board. Pamela Taylor, noted social media racist, wasn’t protected because she works for the government and they couldn’t do anything. The government protected her because they agree with…

They actually kind of have to adopt the trappings of a religion to fight the way they do; a lot of Republicans like to pull out the “freedom of religion, not freedom from religion” card, and argue that Athiesism isn’t a religion, and therefore isn’t covered by religious liberty laws. So they pretend to be religious,…

Y’know, I am an atheist. I believe that most of TST folks are, too. So I want to get all criticizey on them and say “Hey, don’t use satire to try to make your point, just use honest argument”. But y’know what? Their shit works. And it seems like it’s often the only thing that does, particularly with this sort of…

Madonna can be a huge asshole AND ground breaking, trail blazing woman with a lot of valid insight into sexism in pop music. People can be more than one thing, and we need to stop requiring women in the public eye be more pure than their male counterparts.

This is so hilariously untrue 0- so there were no gay men in the audience? Bwahahahaha.

Most people I know would be thrilled to get a letter from the President elect.

No, I’m just a scientist who experiments with animating non-living matter. My sofa was the first successful attempt. His name is Brandon and he’s held down a job as a road-side sign-twirler for over a month now.

Jesus fucking Christ. At this point I’d be willing to break into their fertility clinic and flush those fucking things down the toilet just to get this Loeb fucker off this shit.

Sofia and the Satanic Temple need to get together on this one. Fuck Nick Loeb.

Fuck Loeb and fuck Louisiana too for entertaining his fuckery.
