Oh, there’s more Lovecraft where that came from. There’s at least “Medusa’s Coil” (which is about a lady with killer hair, but ends with the surprise line that by the way, she was a secret Negro!) and “The Curse of Yig” (which is about Yig the Snake God, but its central character is a secret Indian!). Lovecraft’s…

I hadn’t heard about that one. I had heard about the three black guys who did the same thing using white masks from a special effects company, plus police uniforms, to rob a check cashing place. They got caught for sort of crazy reasons.

I was unimpressed with the pilot, but I feel like the show has a good slow burn thing going, and it’s consistently getting more interesting. I wasn’t expecting it to be so outside the formula of “Meet our entire ensemble of characters, now watch while we put them through the paces.”

There’s a surprising amount of nineteenth and early twentieth-century literature about passing and the fear of “racial atavism” - of giving birth to or fathering a surprise black baby because of secret Negroes everywhere. We don’t tend to read it a lot any more for pretty obvious reasons. So there’s Larsen’s Passing,…

Jim Gaffigan? Who just loves Cardinal Dolan, protector of pedophile priests?

I suppose you’re going to get right on all those stories of Richard Gere shoving a gerbil up his ass, yeah? After all, some of those have come from medical professionals, and people don’t just make stories like that up out of thin air.

Can we please stop pretending that Catholic theology isn’t vicious and destructive?

The school’s admissions policies are explicitly built around excluding the wrong people (particularly people of the wrong religion), and you didn’t care as long as it didn’t affect you. Why did you think that people willing to discriminate against others wouldn’t eventually notice you weren’t “right” for the place,…

There’s nothing I don’t love about Larry Fessenden, the big ol’ weirdo and king of independent NY horror. I have seen that man die a million times, and he always looks like he’s having the best time with it. I squealed with glee when I found out he worked on a horror survival video game, Until Dawn.

I’m pretty crappy at video games, which I blame on growing up playing Infocom text games. I can type like the devil, but can’t work a controller to save my life.

Melania Trump isn’t just married to a bully, she is a bully. She lied about her own immigration and work history in order to attack other immigrants.

Never forget that Sarah Palin, who pretends to love her Down Syndrome son, cheered this woman’s appointment.

I think it’s 100% reasonable for a woman to demand to know up front if her ob-gyn is pro-life. Women need to know if they can count on the medical decisions they make for themselves to be respected.

I once woke up in detox because I was drunk enough to pass out in a snowbank while walking home in January, and got picked up by the cops that saw me there. (Which is probably why I’m, you know, still alive.) Little cuts and bruises all over; I’m lucky I didn’t have frostbite. Was not my first trip to detox.

I legitimately thought Russ Tamblyn was her grandfather. Huh.

Where’s Heavy Rain? I peed everywhere possible in that game, including Madison’s super weird dorm-style bathroom!

Here’s the thing, though. If we start aggressively disciplining academics for behavior outside the classroom, it is delusional to think that white instructors will be punished more than non-white instructors.

No, I don’t think I am as bad as this dead piece of shit. I don’t strive to actively cause harm, like he did when he was excited to promote a bigoted, vicious asshole to the office of president. “Wow, Donny, you’re right, people with Mexican heritage can’t do their jobs! Lemme go find some more Nazis for you!”

Flynt’s only political identity is Proud Sleazebag; he’s never really tried to pretend something he’s not.

I don’t care how gross it is, I’m happy about it. The world is 100% a better place without him in it.
