Since when are white people not allowed to make jazz music? I guess I’ll go back in time and tell Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller to knock it off.

You guys are really ratcheting up the racism for the Oscars. Is it just for clicks, or do you really believe the skin color of these men affects their ability to write music?

I should be finishing up unpacking and setting up my new apartment. Instead I got stoned and now I’m binging on 90s Nation and being ridiculously nostalgic.

If you truly believe that the color of one’s skin is a purely cosmetic difference, how does the altering of one’s skin tone automatically equal mockery?

But obviously, no, it is not illegal to orphan your child or to have children out of wedlock. As an ex-communist country, in fact, the number of people who have kids and are also married (in church or…

I am perpetually baffled by news stories reporting that the Pope continues to be Catholic and espouse Catholic doctrine. I can’t really understand the difference between “Breaking news: the Pope still isn’t cool with abortion or gay marriage!” and “Breaking news: bears are still shitting in the woods!” and yet the…

This Pope may be "chill", but he is still Catholic after all.
