A generation that says “hey assholes, we’re sick of your racist, sexist & homophobic bullshit and we’re now going to call you out on it” isn’t the pussy generation. It’s the greatest generation.

I love you for it, too! It is a great time to be alive. Glass ceiling broken. Smug, white, male entitled internet trolls owned. A victory for wonks, professionalism and toughness.

I love boring. Give me boring, steady and responsible over unhinged, burn-down-the-house assholery any day. We actually have a pretty good system of governement that needs some big reforms. However, I don’t burn down my house when the roof needs fixing. I fix the roof.

The manager of the grocery store I shop at is a white, tattooed ex-marine in his 40s and he’s passionately pro-Hilary. He was during the primaries, too. He’s all about “management experience” and “understanding what governement is supposed to do”.

I understand Takei’s reservations and points, but we still have so little LGBT representation in film, and major LGBT characters still die far more often and far more often violently than straight ones. This is a victory, even if it is not ideal circumstances. I choose to focus on the positive here, and I know the…

I’m going to admit to a conspiracy. Hilary is the product of one. Like her, I graduated from Wellesley College. It’s not a secret organization, but it’s an elite entity that was founded with the idea that women are entitled to the same opportunties as men and don’t have to ask men’s permission to be powerful and…

In 2008, she lost with grace. Now, she wins with grace.

Yes. There’s a former BBC presenter named David Icke who insists Princess Diana told him the Queen and all the most powerful people in the world were lizard aliens. He has a lot of followers, though how many are serious I don’t know.

Next time someone says show me a hero and a badass, I’m showing them a picture of Elizbeth Smart.

Her fans vote consistently - in those twitter retweet or fav polls.

One thing I’m learning this election cycle is that movie studios are funded by credit unions, autonomous collectives and gofundme campaigns. After all, people who shout that nobody should ever take money from big banks would never take a multi-million dollar payday in a big superhero epic funded and/or supported by a…

And this is why I will never vote for Sanders. I’m a college professor, and my campus is jammed packed with grey-haired hippies who bloviate against the system, idolize Europe as a paradise, screamed that Hugo Chavez’s revolution would last forever and are fantastic at yelling and wasting everyone’s time. You put any…

Me: Superman kills innocent people now.

I once took a class on humor writing, and the male professor taught a unit on “why women aren’t funny” and how women like Tina Fey overcame that. I brought up that Irma Bombeck was the most read newspaper columnist in this country for years, and the most clipped and pasted on refrigerators. He basically told me that…

The worst thing about Will’s death is in the months since the death aired, several off the record sources have told fans - at events and such - that Dena Higley the head writer pitched Will’s death as a way to lure back conservative viewers for the show’s 50th Anniversary. So, unlike all these straight writers who…

Happens all the time on TV. This past October the daytime soap Days of Our Lives gruesomely killed off its gay legacy character, Will Horton, in a way that was a blatant and obvious pander to conservative viewers. There was so much hate messaging, a lot of people thought the show might be pulled from the air. It’s…

Poor, beleagured Enterprise. I will always have affection for it because it was in an impossible situation. With so much contradicting canon and nit picking fans on one side and super dumb network executives on the other - they couldn’t win. The last season, with Showrunner Manny Coto, was really finding its feet and…

It’s so silly. Just because aliens built the pyramids and the Nazca lines, everyone wants to give them credit for everything. It’s very possible that actual fairies built the fairy circles.

I’m going to take this one step further. Did anyone see the movie “Bernie” with Jack Black and was based on a true story? It’s not a joke. Poor Richard Simmons might be dead and his maid, brother and manager might be trying to keep the gravy train going.

People need to let go of the ridiculous nonsense dichotomy of natural versus unnatural. Not only is it fairly meaningless, many, many things that fit the strict definition of “all natural” are completely toxic. Plenty of synthetic chemicals are not only harmless to most things, they are far superior to their natural…
