abortion fund organizers are saying they’ve been asked to stop distributing contraceptives at the artist’s show because “children are present at the concerts.” (Which both we, and the organizers themselves, would argue, is kind of the point—sexually active teenagers aren’t going to stop being sexually active

I’m a little bit disappointed by this but I understand that she may be opening herself to all sorts of liability, even criminal, especially in the forsaken wasteland of the neo-Confederacy. Her vocal and financial support will have to suffice.

I mean, I guess it got press coverage and all, but this seems like a terrible fucking call.  So many other options.

“Hitler was, you know, a demon on steroids, but he had some pretty good one-liners.”

Hitler was responsible for the murder of millions of Jews, Slavs, homosexuals, disabled, Romany, Russian, Ukrainian and really anyone he thought was “subhuman” or “inferior”.

Eh, not even a Potter fan, but I don’t see it as any different than people being rabid sports fans. So long as people can recognize that escapism isn’t a place you fucking *live* in, whatever.

Make no mistake - Dragon Ball Z was THE flashpoint for anime going mainstream in the U.S. When Cartoon Network started airing it on Toonami, it was an immediate sensation. Anime dubs and manga translations began pouring into America. That led to the rise of Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh and other titles, and anime really never…

I just can’t believe we’re still in this ‘gamer-gate’ era of bullshit because of these sad pathetic boys with their chauvanistic, racist ideals that ANGERY because they aren’t 100% being catered to. And their usage of the term ‘woke’ is just as pathetic.

Like...it’s ironic that they’ve co-opted a black term in the…

I’m still annoyed about how ‘woke’ has been taken out of context for agendas in the first place.

I didn’t start playing it until December after it had seen multiple patches, and while I have encountered various glitches (from relatively minor to some fairly serious ones) and still do to this day (I’m just at the end of Act 2 now), all in all I’ve been extremely pleased with the experience. Perhaps the (well…

My great-uncle had cirrhosis and liver cancer, which became stomach cancer. The night before he died my dad called me and told me I should come over if I wanted to see him. I did, and instantly regretting doing so. I’ve seen people near death, both before and since, but this one was by far the most unsettling. It’s a…

Stomach cancer is a brutal way to die— the state of California has an assisted suicide law primarily because the widow of a friend of mine who died of it in his 30s went on the warpath after that experience.

He really was just a proud American. And that’s not a bad thing.

One strange, frustrating feature of the politics around the Iraq War is that a broad consensus has emerged that the war was a colossal mistake, without any corresponding acknowledgement that the people saying that in 2003 were right. I suspect that many of the people who were eager to vilify the Dixie Chicks in 2003…

Sounds the kind of enjoyable trippy version that Charlie Kaufman would write.

I’d read that book and/or see that movie.

“Orion: As a person with anxiety, this speaks to me. And Natasia Demitriou (Nadja from What We Do In The Shadows) is in it!”

The only thing I care about is avatar. No. Not the movie. Give me back my effin’ avatar!

You should never argue with a crazy
