This video was produced by Project Veritas, the group that was founded by James O’Keefe. So I’m afraid I’m going to have to pre-emptively call bullshit on it right now.

Let’s see - Obama moves into the White House and incidents of racist violence come to the forefront of our national attention. Hillary is (almost assuredly) going to be moving back to the White House, and issues of institutional misogyny are brought to the forefront of our national attention. Hmm... what could the…

That’s just what I was wondering. I admit, it was hard to give them all equal amounts of attention when the Republican Clown Car had like 17 passengers and some of the others were just so damn amusing (Carly Fiorina and her allergic reactions to any amount of truth were my favorite to watch, honestly) and so I just…

I think it was something Nate Silver did for fivethirtyeight about demographics breakdowns, sorry I can’t find the link anymore. It went like this: If only men voted, Trump won easily. If only women voted, it was Hillary by a landslide. If only white people voted, Trump won easily. If only minorities voted, Hillary…

Not to be all Debbie Downer or anything, but if you are going to co-sleep with your baby you have to be extremely careful. A friend of my brother’s was co-sleeping with his infant son, and accidentally rolled over on him in his sleep and smothered the child. Everyone understood that it was a horrible, tragic accident…

When I was 18 I went to go visit a friend at her college a couple of hours away from where I lived, and my ride back home fell through. So I ended up staying in her dorm room (a single, thankfully) for about a week with nothing to do. During this time, she ditched me for a couple of days to stay with her boyfriend. I…

5 is very young, but you’d be surprised how resilient little kids can be. Lots of folks here in the comments are freaking out about the very idea of a 5-year-old flying unaccompanied, but I did that very thing myself. My first flight was a solo airplane trip from Minneapolis to Detroit when I was 5 years old, meeting…

“Lifted” isn’t exactly setting me on fire, but damn it’s better than the single she put out with Diplo “Dr Pepper”. I say this as a crazy-big fan of CL’s, but hot damn “Dr Pepper” was a steaming pile of shit.

Both pronunciations are actually acceptable. Two ways of saying it provides for more opportunities to make puns, which is always a good thing.

I’m pretty sure the shock alone took 10 years off of my life.

I am also a Minnesota resident, and I can completely back up your observation. I wonder sometimes if it’s “Minnesota nice” at play, in which we attempt to punish people who don’t get into the correct lane early for their perceived “lack of courtesy”. I know that’s how I reacted for a very long time, until I learned…

I had a traumatizing experience with a monster centipede once (I refer to them as “dragons” just to distinguish them from smallish centipedes or not-at-all-creepy millipedes). This fucker was crawling around on the ceiling OVER MY BED, so of course I had to do something about it. I went and got the Shop-Vac with the…

I have heard a theory to explain this year: David Bowie was actually the glue that was holding the universe together, and now that he is gone reality is slowly sliding into madness and incoherence.

Trump is only in this for the boost to his ego; he loves the idea of winning The Most Important Popularity Contest In The World but doesn’t want the added responsibility that the job would entail. Trump has made it clear that he will leave all of the actual duties of being President, like setting policy and such, to…

When my kid was 2 years old, I had a grand old time answering her constant questions with a combination of “Teaching her how the world works” and “Amusing myself because this routine gets old pretty fast”.

Maybe it’s surprising, maybe it isn’t surprising at all, but little girls love the song “Exes and Ohs”. Like really love it. My first-grade daughters told me that their entire bus was singing it on the way home the other day.

The thing is, though, that a movie with a budget on this scale is not targeted just to comic-book-nerds, it has to be marketed to everybody. And if it’s not at all fun, then it’s going to fail.

MEGHAN TRAINOR IS THE ZODIAC KILLER??!?!

If I came across a racy cartoon when I was a kid I would probably get a tiny thrill out of it, but wouldn’t consider it a big deal. But I find that my perspective on this stuff has changed now that I’m a dad with young girls (surprise surprise). I don’t really want them exposed to grotesque shit until they are old…

It’s an interesting take you have, and I do think it’s important to look at the context and the era in which a piece of art is produced. But even still, it’s okay for us to take a step back and declare something is morally wrong (or just uncomfortably repugnant) by today’s standard, because it is today’s world we are…
