This is a fantastic piece. But I want to add that I think this (“If you’re a man who represents the socialized ideal of Peak Masculinity—brash, cocksure, manipulative, unapologetic, seductive—you can have your way with us.”) goes across the board with males, regardless of color. Most of those white dumb dumbs at…

You’ve made the mistake of think that because you didn’t enjoy it that your opinion is a fact that must be true for all.
Just for kicks, I want to throw in io9's 2011 original (pre-release) review of the Ready Player One novel: https://io9.gizmodo.com/ready-player-one-is-a-dystopian-gamer-novel-thats-as-ad-5830019
That is kinda neat, but I'd like to see one go up at First Ave in downtown Minneapolis. I think the city would embrace that.
Apple released a new iPhone today. I’m going to start this review by saying that 10 years ago I used a blackberry so I wasn’t interested in buying an iphone. I have seen friends use an iphone before but ultimately I’ve settled in happily with an Android phone. I’m most happy with the features of my Samsung Galaxy S11…
Rhetorical questions are the opiate of the ill-informed who are trying to look like they are making a point and musing philosophically about nothing.
Bobby Caldwell is white
Coming in with the hot take that’s going to piss a lot of people off, but fuck it -
Beethoven being black is just cosmic justice for black people having to find out Bobby Caldwell is white.
I’ve also been using Ubiquiti’s WiFiman, which has been pretty good at showing me channel strength, devices connected and frequency strength.
I think it's time for P-G writers to do a full Deadspin.
If you’re white, the rules are 1. Listen 2. Amplify 3. Shield. That’s all that’s expected. Everyday. Protests or no protests. If you are white, please, for once in your privileged life, Listen, Amplify, Shield. You’ll be amazed at what you learn when you take a back seat and let someone else do the driving.
It’s very clear (and a little sad) that some of y’all don’t know (or are pretending not to know) that Latinx people can be white, white-passing or Afro-Latinx (see: Ted Cruz, Cameron Diaz, etc.). In fact, they can also engage in anti-black racism. Whether you consider her white-passing, what we know is Selena Gomez is…
This makes him sound really sinister; I think it’s entirely possible he just wants to make music in this genre and tradition because it’s what he likes, and it connects with him (and obviously people who make music would rather be successful at it than not). But he appears to have a genuine love and appreciation for…
Well...shit.
For the love of God, don’t use any video chat rooms... They are all guaranteed to be collecting data of you, no matter how protected or encrypted they say they are. If this is a huge issue for you, stay off the internet in general, wrap your phone in aluminium foil, and preferably fashion a hat out of it as well.
“I know of no long-term benefits of the Shuttle program, surely nothing commensurate with its cost.”
The Hubble Space Telescope turns 30 years old tomorrow. Without the shuttle to go and make ‘repairs’, and to go install new and better instruments, the satellite is very unlikely to have have made the immense contributions to our understanding of the universe that it has. Whether the knowledge is worth the costs cited…
The shuttle was not a terrible idea. I guess I am one of the sacred status people, ever since I was 10 and saw the Enterprise test flight on TV.
