If we’re playing the Pedantry Olympics, allow me to offer you the following:

Hey now. We have never claimed to have a soul.

We tend to have several; you can tell by the number of freckles on our faces/arms—as we accumulate the wailing, terrified souls of our enemies, we mark their consumption with a freckle.

Particularly well-traveled/aged gingers can sometimes appear to be nothing more than a…

Some of these editorial comments contain the force and “good lord, do you read the things you type” sentiment that I sometimes dream of including in responses to student essays.

...I never do, because being snarky with a student, even at the college level, can damage the learning process—but still, I admit that the…

It’s the only religion that (falsely) recognizes that Gingers have souls.

Goth-er?

“Man is defined as a human being and woman as a female—whenever she behaves as a human being she is said to imitate the male.” —Simone de Beauvoir

Interesting you should mention Madonna. I almost immediately thought of her as one of U2's contemporaries who managed to convey her young (fe)male rage masterfully. Before the whole Sex book era, she clearly had a point of view and something to say, and managed to package it into entertainment like a pro.

about whoring yourself.

I was so fucking horrified when he got the Nobel prize for literature.

The Bob Dylan interview in 1987 that broke my freshman heart, and every last shred of respect for him. NB, he adulates U2 three lines later in the interview. Bold mine.

Urban Outfitters is another one. The most toxic hipster-bro corporate culture. I was pretty high up there about 7 years ago and it was a stifling misogynistic environment which is why I left. I heard from friends who recently left Urban that after lots of lawsuits, a change of CEO, and “restructuring” it’s better, but…

I will never stop reveling in schadenfreude over the fact that the founding Vice jackholes have turned into the exact things they once pretended to be the opposite of — bloated businessmen one hooker and a dry martini away from a coronary. Their “don’t” became a “do” by virtue of their own entitled hypocrisy.…

I am so tired. I feel like I’ve been shouting into the void for years that a lot of these cultural touchstones for cool, hip youth (Vice, American Apparel, etc) are the same old toxic and misogynistic tropes wrapped up in a new aesthetic. I’m tired of women’s bodies being commodified and used to reinforce the money…

when I was a senior in high school, I did a miss america preliminary pageant for the scholarship money (I was heading to college the next year and thought I could use it for textbooks) and won. huge mistake. practically everyone talked like this, women included. the day after I won I met my female director who…

Trashy industry is trashy

Yeah, you’re right. It looks like I’ve run out of goodwill hunting for more puns.

Looks like your thematic thread hit a Great Wall and its time you Departed.

But what about his legacy?

Damon should shut up before his views on this issue become a permanent part of his identity. I’m starting to think he actually believes in male supremacy. If that’s the case he needs to be given an ultimatum.

Criterion doesn’t make the films, they just create special editions of films that either won’t be released on the newer home video formats or won’t get special treatment on video formats. They started with laserdisc back in the 80s - offering the first special editions of any kind(King Kong and Citizen Kane were among…
