I love it when the blogs do cross-over stuff. But you forgot to add the tag.

“Just then, you’re ambushed by a George Soros!”

Hobo-Dyer for equal area (Peters is just hideous but what they use I am pretty sure) and Robinson or Winkel-Tripel for aesthetics.

Mercator is ugly as sin for a global projection, just use it for street maps on the scale of like a county at most.

“The subject matter is not Schutz’s; white free speech and white creative freedom have been founded on the constraint of others, and are not natural rights.”

Disclosure: I am white and female.

Asking for it to be destroyed ruins their argument for me.

I would say its not a very productive one? I find the rest of her comment very convincing, even though I ultimately disagree. The soundbyte nature of a call for destruction may get more attention (which appears to be the intention?), but I think largely undermines the points made therein and is ultimately destructive…

I understand the critique of her style softening and perhaps undercutting the brutality of the subject, but calling for the paintings removal or destruction and claiming that the artist has no right to speak to this...doesn’t sit right with me.

I find this complicated because while I agree with what critics say I also believe that no one has the right to tell an artist what they can and can not do when it comes to their art and what they depict. That is called censorship, regardless of the intention or source. So.... yeah..... complicated.

It is quite the obsession. Also, Simmons was a bigger name than Jonah Keri before Grantland, and continues to be, and the notion that Keri therefore did more for Grantland than vice-versa (I had never heard of him) is pretty laughable. I mean, I wouldn’t pick a fight over it, but there is the statement, the kind of…

Wtf? Passing as white doesn’t mean she needs to exclude her biracial, black-American heritage.

Why can’t they pay them like government workers? They play for the USA. I know it’s not how things are done, but maybe that’s how they should be done. There’s enough money to go around.

Hey, remember when Gawker did pretty much the same damn thing and it was “ok” by everyone at Gizmodo? How’s this any different?

I used to street race, play bags (corn hole), 12in softball and etc..... The reason I stopped wasn’t because I was getting bad, I was just sick of all the shit talking. After awhile, you get a feeling that the only reason anyone shows up to play or watch was to shit talk........I wonder if e-sports is/has/or could be…

Emma Watson on Beyonce’s tits in 2014:

Are you trolling? Read the headline. It’s not a big deal because he kicked her car. It’s a big deal because in this case the woman (who threw a drink on someone [who abused her]) was punished much more severely than the man (who caused property damage to that woman [long after she began trying to leave the situation]).

If your first reaction to someone dumping a drink on your friends head is to follow them to their car, menace them so they can’t leave, and do damage to their property you might need some social skills/life coaching. I understand 19-year-olds do dumb shit, however we do not know the circumstances of why the drink was…

I mean, I personally think name tattoos are tacky and basic as hell. Like, girl, you do you, but don’t pretend like all-lower-case-cursive-name-on-your-neck tattoos are like, OBJECTIVELY better than a tweaked-out bear. People have opinions. Get used to it.

Same. I don’t understand why she would want him to tattoo something he didn’t want to. Wouldn’t she want a tattoo artist to share her enthusiasm before they inked something on her body? Like hair stylists, clients are a tattoo artists walking billboard. Maybe he doesn’t want to be known as the cursive handwriting…

I hate to be Team Tattoo Artist, but just like you can decide where you want your tattoos, he can also decide what work he’ll stand behind and what he WON’T. Clearly you have artistic differences, as evident by your contempt of his other work. So why would you use him in the first place?
