No one questioned the relationship between doc brown and marty. We all accepted it.

Yup. And before the Nazis, there plenty of deeply horrible things to large groups of people= good old King Leopold of the Belgium, The British Siege of Benin, the USA’s theft and plunder of Native lands, the same in Canada and of course let’s not forget chattel slavery from West Africa, which allowed parts of Europe…

I realize this is just confirmation bias. My Mom passed away, unexpectedly what will be a month ago this Thursday. And it seems like everything I read now is about Moms or death. I know, I know. Confirmation bias. But also, my Mom used to sing to me “You Are the Sunshine of My Life” after she brought me home (I was…

Leslie Jones... perfect reaction...

Agreed. And it will be crushing if/when he gets voted through. I’m crossing my fingers and hoping against hope that a few people find their spines in order to keep him from it, but I’m not hopeful. 

Does the White House counsel know he may have just implied that damn near every man on earth (himself and his boss included) has been abusive to women? 

I actually really liked Moxy Fruvous. But I was a tween (read: the target demo you described) who had a basic idea about liberal politics, and grew up listening to folky music. I saw them many times on the folk festival circuit in New York during the turn of the century, and even met the entire band when I was 14 at…

So accurate. It’s like someone saw Rockapella and was like: we can do that, but cheesier and with worse harmonies.

If Justin Bieber stops being a Canadian citizen and becomes an American citizen, the average IQ of both countries will go up.

He may not have tried to rape them, but he tried to force a little kid to have a baby she didn’t want. He tries to controll womens sexuality. I really believe this comes from the same place of brutally trying to show power over women as rape.

It’s an infuriatingly asinine argument that just won’t die, no matter how many examples you give of violent men who were (at one time) thought of as “nice guys.”

Too true. Even I could find 65 men who thought I was nice. And I have resting bitch face and running bitch mouth.

Bill Cosby didn’t rape all of the women; therefore, he didn’t rape any woman.

As a Canadian I would like to say that Gomeshi was always an insufferable douche bag and I can’t believe that anyone would care enough to read his ‘work’, take notice of an interview or listen to him pontificate.  Forget rehab. This guy is going to have to re- invent himself in a different job venue....or go on Big…

I feel like all these dudes are running around yelling “My penis! My penis! But what about my penis???”

Jessamina, I very much agree with your description of The Social!

As opposed to CBC’s The Goods, with the redhead whose intelligence appears to have formed the basis of every “there has to be a better way” moron on every infomercial ever.

And who, in the greatest of all ironies, hosts Canada’s Smartest Person.

jesus fuck, i hate matthew mcconaughey so much

I’m thinking:

Werner’s other option was to work in the mines (can’t remember, but that work may have killed his father? I need to re-read it as well.). He jumped at the chance to be educated.
