Dude thought he cracked the code. “I can say it as part of my pedagogy! And create a space where it can be used freely. To make a point! Checkmate, libtards!”

I’m genuinely curious where he was going with his ... ah ... lesson. 

I have a friend who was just like this and lives in the same county. She went to a PWI and a private high school so she has a lifetime becky bff and has always moved comfortably and socialized with the neighbors to a margaritas degree. This murder/cover-up was a bit of a wake-up call for her (along with the trump era…

I’ve been pushing getting people to understand that these people are not conservative in the classic sense. They are regressives. Their behavior isn’t tied to any conservative principle primarily. They FIRST are about whatever regressive principle, and then they are liberal (wanting government involvement) or…

This was one of my titles growing up.  I knew from early on it was going to be a shitshow.  I’m not surprised or even disappointed.  Just what I expected.

The show is a powerful piece on its own. But it absolutely references the original work in myriad ways. I would even suggest that YOU do a re-read prior to watching it with her if you haven’t read the graphic novel in over a year (ESPECIALLY if you only recall Dr Manhattan as disconnected from humanity and don’t quite…

imagine thinking McDonalds would make something spicy enough to register with heat aficionados. Not even Popeyes, for all the brouhaha, brought a kick. Wendy’s spicy chicken sandwich is mediocre chicken-wise but variances in their manufacturing means you sometimes luck up on some extra kick. Chick-fi-la has a decent…

Honestly, I blame Betty Crocker

I was once in a discussion, it’s possible this discussion was in my head, about which grammatical litter is most irksome to me. I have seasons. As of now, my season of discontent is ‘loose’ in place of ‘lose’.

Enjoy your natto. I’ll pass.

Thanks, that’s great news, I hope to see it green-lit! I’m a life-long sci-fi/fantasy reader but I wasn’t aware of how far back the tradition went until I was gifted the Dark Matter anthology back in school. I was already a fan of Octavia but had no idea how much had been missing out on!

I made a comment earlier specific to the article but I’d intended but forgot to add a plug for a graphic novel series with a similar but more comic-book take around the same premise of black family of monster fighters: Bitter Root.

As someone who read and was terrified by Lovecraft and King works as a youth, but missing all of the racist context of Lovecraft until adulthood, and more recently having consumed works like Moore’s Providence, this show was immediately on my radar.
I went in unsure of what to expect from it and I was very surprised…

I have to admit I was only 50% sold on this show before viewing and the intro while fantastic made me worried I was going to see Watchmen influenced laced into this.

What I would say to you is, you’re making a primary argument in the general election phase of the process. Look at it this way, what are you, as a voter, doing right now? Yes, you could make an ideological choice to vote for a candidate that won’t even show up as a percentage point. Or you can vote for one of the two…

She just needs another hug. Someone summon the hugging judge!

I didn’t say she wasn’t leveling criticism at all. My point was that her criticism was about pointing out a pattern of colorism. I’m also not saying her criticism would hold up. I’m not here to argue her point. What I was explaining was 1. she wasn’t attacking the wives and 2. she wasn’t attacking his wife and 3. she…

Colorism is the correct word. It is not a charge you, as a white person, have the placement to level, however certain you are in your reading. You would be completely out of place in doing so, and would deserve any dragging you receive. It’s a family matter.

Ok, so since you were crafty and didn’t post your ...…

Well, I would say you are better-served in these sorts of conversations by presenting more questions than takes, but we all walk our own path.

To your questions. Here’s where you are struggling (I’m giving you the benefit of the doubt that it is a genuine, if baffling, one): the women weren’t being called out.
I want…

Well, you’re asking a LOT of a tweet, but you’re correct in that her statement isn’t backed by any rigorous research, she’s simply pointing out the pattern. I’m sure an exhaustive review of these rappers’ relationships and even expanding to a better sampling of rappers would yield a more complex picture.

I’m happy to continue for as long as you have questions.
