Yeah, respectability politics can fuck right off, which is why despite all the good, perceived and real, that Bill Cosby has done for the black community, I've always disliked him.

I honestly don't care whether Chappelle is supportive of the trans movement or not. That is his personal decision. But his joke, its delivery and the attitude he was perpetuating is literally dangerous to trans people. If people continue thinking that being trans is a privilege and that trans women are men who want to…

It's not about protecting potential victims so much as not giving him even more of a platform. He has proven time and again to be an unrepentant asshat that abuses and threatens people, mostly women. So why should be continue to enjoy success in a highly privileged industry when there are probably hundreds of others…

Don't forget all the maple syrup that'll probably rain down!

Yep, I can see everyone's avatars but I also have a disqus account. Not sure if the old AVC original accounts are still around so that may be why.

Thank God for small miracles, I guess.

The URL changes based on what article you're looking at so they can definitely still track the traffic for specific articles.

The first album will be titled Persian Fire.

I'm envisioning it…and I need it to happen.

Yeah, PlayStation Vue is very limited but that's Sont for ya. I specifically hate the whole "Home" device concept. Sling is getting cloud DVR soon though. I missed their beta for Roku but apparently they're already doing a beta for a couple other devices.

Try Sling TV, it has BBC America, Bloomberg and couple other good news channels.

Sling TV and PlayStation Vue have been offering a similar service for a couple years now…

He's supposed to be 15, I think. Possibly 16.
