Voter turnout among the young has always been low. There are structural reasons for this, including the need to register (which should be eliminated).

How much blame do you put on a faulty cog in an enormous broken machine?

Dave “Gender is a fact” Chappelle doesn’t know biology either. Substantial numbers of people are born intersex. Depending on how you count, it’s somewhere between 1 in 100 and one in 2000.

The TMZ picture gallery... did not disappoint. That’s a horrifying wound, with life-altering consequences.

I was thinking in terms of “aspects of identity outside of Patton’s control”, because it bothers me that she can’t just be an individual who is all of those things yet is not defined by any of them.

Welp. Not that my perspective should matter much but as a middle-aged dude the cover makes it a bit awkward to talk about this album.

Media catering to a white audience is deeply invested in seeing black athletes humiliated, taken down a peg, crushed.

I figured she was doing kipping pull-ups because strict pull-ups are extremely difficult for women. (They’re damned hard for men, too: the average adult male can do either 1, or none, depending on what source you consult.) Kipping pull-ups seem like a decent choice for her level of fitness.

It’s an April Fool’s prank. The new teeth are obviously fake:

Righteous.  Reminds me of ACT UP.

But if it’s three or four democratic candidates who see their chance, he holds onto a 30, 35 percent plurality.

Abandoning “red states” means abandoning “blue” people in those “red states”.

I’m with you, fello saltnik. I used to dump salt into my palm and eat it straight. About a half teaspoonful at a time.

Fresh spinach leaves, slathered in mayonnaise and rolled up like cigars.
