I think that’s a real divide between religious/atheist people. I used to visit my friend’s grave, but I really didn’t know what to do with myself, I mean...she was already gone. The only thing I could think of was maybe leaving flowers so her mom knew I didn’t forget her?

Studies actually find that racists are extremely bothered by being called racists.

Some Indians find the term Indian offensive and prefer Native American, or First Nations, or something else. Some Native Americans do not find the term Indian offensive and, I believe, prefer it. I make no claim to knowing what the more common attitude is right now among a geographically far-flung culturally diverse…

At the same time, there are plenty of people who believe they aren’t racist but actually are. See: “black friend” defense. The real point is, though, that even as imperfect as “racist” might be, it’s the closest you can get to a term that is as offensive in implication as a racial slur directed at a minority.

Our party’s incremental movement has been rightward, even before Reagan took the stage. Now, the Democrats’ official lines include “no new taxes!” without any sense of historic irony.

She is SO very very good. I’m not really surprised I suppose but it makes me deeply skeptical of the mechanisms of power behind the daily show that apparently didn’t even consider her for the job of host.

I looooooooove Full Frontal, but it’s only on once a week if at all! Not enough! I NEED MORE.

Full Frontal is fucking great if you haven’t seen it! Sam Bee really should have been given the Daily Show.

I stopped watching because he can’t seem to pick a format for the show. Is he doing stand up? Is he a hard-nosed interviewer? Does the show do funny skits? Let’s try to do all of those, because people love a jack of all trades, right? He’s clearly been putting his mark on the show in the past couple of months and I…

Sam Bee’s show is so, SO good. I’d venture a guess it’s the sharpest show on TV right now. I was worried about it because I’m such a huge fan of hers, but her last few years at TDS were just sort of “I’m married to Jason Jones! I’m pregnant a lot!” but OH MY GOD IT’S SO GOOD.

Don’t despair: he’s just keeping the seat warm until Jessica Williams feels she’s ready for it, and then all will be well.

When Wasserman-Schultz overturned Obama’s ban on lobbying within the Democratic Party’s own primaries, she quietly and effectively undermined what Obama was able to do in salvaging his own party’s electoral process.

untrue! no matter who is using them for their benefit!

I want, so badly, for Trevor Noah to be good at this.

Okay, but which part of the western culture ideals can account for the 1 in five women who are raped and the 6% of rapist to ever actually serve time? Is rape culture part of the western cultural ideals you’re talking about too? Or are you talking about the actions of the aggressive soldiers because I have some…

The NFL threatened Georgia. The NBA has done similar things to NC. I honestly believe the only way to make them listen is to hit them in the sports.

I truly despise people who think that saying “I was joking” or “I didn’t mean it” means that awful thing they said isn’t still a window into their character. It is. If that’s what you think is funny, that says something about you. If your go-to insults of women have to do not with their capabilities or their…

I’m having flashbacks to childhood.

I don’t get the joke.

Yeah, I don’t know how to feel about this. Like, I’m super happy that queer and trans folks won’t get legally discriminated against in Georgia, but I’m disappointed that the only thing standing in the bill’s way was a veto and big business interests.
