If you want to teach kids valuable lessons, you need to do it using terrifying stories about ape-children suffering horrible fates.  

My SIL is an artist and did this picture of my two cats. 

The song “Cat Food” by King Crimson. It’s a good song, easily the best thing on their second album. But it’s tough to be in the mood for a song with a title that reminds me of my Torti's bad breath and Ralph Wiggum.

“each of us is a pedant who withholds joy from themselves based on nothing”

“Actors who are willing to be involved with this flaming paper bag of bullshit include Stacey Dash, Jon Voight, Robert Davi, Corbin Bernsen, John Schneider, Richard Portnow, Wade Williams, William Forsythe, Steve Guttenberg, Joey Lawrence, Jamie Kennedy, and Joey Lawrence.”

It's Se7en, not S7ven. I get that this is nit-picking, but when the article is about avoiding pop culture because the name is stupid, at least get the stupid name of a cited work right. 

You are just astonishingly terrible at good faith discussion, aren’t you? Not only have you continued in your quest to obliterate context and pretend racism doesn’t exist because if you had to admit to a systemic bias underpinning the success of white men, your entire argument would collapse (“white men” becomes…

Fight Club is right up there with Born In The USA as a piece of media whose actual message is completely lost on its biggest “fans”

Leave him alone, dude’s just doing his job and English is not an easy language for Russian speakers to learn.

OK, well then, there’s only one way to find out. Get all your friends and family to campaign, canvas, and elect a left-leaning administration and congress, and then watch SNL to see if they make fun of them the same way they make fun of the current government. And if they don’t, it’ll feel so good to know you were…

We need to be able to be less ‘butt-hurt’ at everything and listen to the other side for once.

I take the same approach to life. Yes, in my kitchen are grease stains, dirty dishes, swarms of ants, spoiled food, stagnant water and a floor sticky with spilled soda. But *underneath* it all is a perfectly clean and respectful kitchen, so why should I clean it? Meritocracy will allow the cleanliness to rise to the…

But this comment is solely rooted in your perspective about “funny” and “stress.” The same joke you find funny might cause stress to someone else. If that someone else is from a historically oppressed group, and they’re constantly having to deal with stress from that sort of joke, that’s the very thing that makes the…

Are you referring to this one? It’s funny, but it doesn’t sound like a legit academic conference at all— more like a fan convention. I went to a few conferences when I was a grad student in English Lit, and the racial issues raised by the Orangutan in “The Murders in the Rue Morgue” is probably among the most common…

I take your point that the idea that’s it’s a specifically male conspiracy against specifically women completely ignores the fact that men struggle with weight too (and seems to set up a needless battle of the sexes dynamic when this is not really about that).

Bill Maher once said something truly horrible, and he lost his show because of it. But mocking the president’s hair isn’t the same thing as being straight-up racist.

While I get where you’re coming from, I think you’re being overly harsh. Art can transform - heck, look at the positive effect goddamn PARADES have had in changing the culture.

Carter is Carter - he does Carter-y things. Obama is not Carter. Why not let him have the chance to see what good he can do in the way HE can…

Mario’s all ready for his career change from stomping Goombas to hunting Wabbits.

I think your comment about her raiding the fridge and being fat could be the reason why extolling her hotness is a feminist stance.

By the end of 2032, they plan to stop serving food to children entirely. So healthy!
