Dude, you’ve been coming here for how long, and you are just starting to realize this site isn’t exclusively hard-hitting news?

Ugh, the Quartering. I can’t even remember what bullshit he had said that made me aware of him, and he is so moronic that I cannot find what it was, there’s so many stupid takes.

Wishing anal rape on anybody is always fucked up. I think it’d be a just enough desert to hope that prison systems work as they should, as a place a violent person stays in long enough to realize the true weight of their crime is, and feel the equivalent level of loss the rest of the world feels without what the 6…

Did you also see that he’s actively documented propagating Anti-Asian hatred? Apparently he had previously promoted a shirt with writing styled as a beer label, saying “Covid-19/ Imported from Chy-na”. Guy’s a half-with Trumper too, a surprise to us all!!!!!

I think it’s very commonly the root of people’s bigotry. Even in progressive viewpoints- it seems Dino Ironbody at least a left-of-centre for social politics, they seem to be wanting to support trans rights in a not-like-Rowling type of way, and yet could very well be doing the best demonstration of centrist politic’s…

Good to see Frederick Brennan was interviewed, his piece of the story made for pretty integral parts to the reporting on both Behind the Bastards and Reply All.

If your hangup is purely on the fact his name changed, at best that’s an incredibly anal hangup that you need to figure out yourself. Realistically, however, you should research more into the significance of the name change, because it holds more weight for transitioning, and perhaps you may open your perspective…

Thanks. And yeah, I do think it is getting better, and I hope that continues in a more inclusive direction. I feel wary about progressive causes, it’s like we’re just  over the hump, and can regress if the bigots some day figure out how to reframe the topic so the zeitgeist goes all bigoted again. The current bigots…

Like I said, your issue is not in changing the past, that is purely you choosing to define it that way to create a canard that trans people are asking for too much. Any person’s gender identity is a social construct, and the onus is on you to accept that the identity you knew a person as, when they’ve come out as…

Trans people don’t evolve like Pokemon. You’d have to be thick if this is your best troll.

You should learn to be less sensitive to how a person chooses to live their life.

Thanks, I’m trying to learn about this whole thing myself and it’s good to know there’s some logic to what I’m saying.

I think it’s totally clear that you don’t have some insidious intent, so I didn’t mean to portray what you’re saying as if you did.

eh, breakups aren’t 100% not terrific either, it’ll hopefully lead to better times- just like coming out is complicated too.

Trans people are changing their name in large part alongside with their transition into the identity that best represents how they feel- ie. their name is an expression of their identity. The way you are treating their deadname is for you to better understand the person on your terms- maybe you aren’t doing it to be…

It is so hard to watch. I’m pretty sure my nose was running as hard as my tears were.

I’m not entirely into the “Stump Sohla” completely myself, I am more into the instructional cooking videos, not challenges or competitions. Still, Sohla’s does great features elsewhere and I hope she does a lot more. What Brad, Chris, or Andy do, I really don’t fuckin care- I won’t be watching if they’re in it.

I was sad to see the BA brand implode, but ultimately I’ve been really happy to see that the chefs worth following were the ones that left Conde Nast’s video channel. I haven’t followed any of those that chose to say nothing an stick around, and I don’t feel like I’m missing anything.

It’s funny to see what nominations Hillbilly Elegy received, it just confirms everybody’s feelings on the film: a bunch of people tried too hard on a story and direction that is utterly forgettable.

At least your country’s rollout is moving well enough along. Up here in Canada it’s moving along more slowly than maple syrup in tire sur neige. My province just started on vaccinating the boomer age group, and there’s no sign when it’s realistically aiming for a group I apply in (I might end up being in an “essential…
