If you channel everything through identity politics then sure, this is condemnation worthy as are the developer’s attempts to give you fair warning. But being a puritan about a sexual game written by a woman expressing herself creatively could also be condemnation worthy from an angle. And so can my comment... and…

Now if only you could find a way to say this stuff which regular people will understand and be motivated by. I can tell this is an attempt to dumb down the academic concept of Neoliberalism, to the non-academic reader, but it’s still so littered with academic finger prints that it’s off-putting. While many of the…

Wow. After years of playing the SNES version, fan translated super famcom ROMs, and then a mobile emulated version of the GBA release with added content... when I heard there was a new rerelease our with new art I was like “it’s my favorite game of all time, but I don’t need to play a new version... I’ll pass for…

I respectfully disagree. Goblins are set up to successfully fill multiple needs of a low level campaign, as well be as scalable to higher levels.

I don’t have an understanding of the economics of this niche so I’ll grant that maybe they were low-balling her. I also have never heard of her while I consider the other three mentioned comedians to be household names, but I’ll grant that this could just be a personal blind spot. Even if she is in the same…

Most people liked it just fine, yet the only articles I’ve read are about the haters and Johnson responding to them. He should do his film a favor and stop feeding the trolls.

If Radiohead winds up winning 100% of the rights I’ll be mildly disappointed in them for being inconsistent with their anti-establishment/humanist reputation. Using IP to completely take all of the rights of someone else’s creative work, derivative as it may be, would seem to be unkind and stifling. Especially because…

Why the hell is there so much fuss about the 20th anniversary of some random moderately good movie from the 90s? Where is this nostalgia coming from and why aren’t we using it on much better 90's movies? Why would honoring this cable-rerun worthy show require enough decorum to shield a recently alleged sexual violator…

If you’re going to pretend that Oliver is a journalist than why on Earth wouldn’t he be obligated to put Dustin Hoffman on the spot about this woman’s claims?

She said something stupid on social media. I never opted into the idea that that should get people fired from jobs that aren’t about having good ideas.

Progressive Puritanism... surreal. This article shows the limitations of the prevailing militantly correct, positivist progressive world view. When confonted with the just and proper ephigy burning we’re all eagerly participating in to align ourselves with the undeniably righteous cause of the victimized, we naturally…

I’m getting frustrated with the denseness of people defending this as innocent when it seems so obviously offensive too me. But I just realized why there’s a gap.

Because issues of black identity are massively important and changing rapidly. The annoying black actress article you shrug off engaging with today, is the embarrassingly out of touch comment you make innocently a year from now that creates strife for your friends, family, or co-workers.

That is ridiculous. Looking at those two images, I understand instantly without reading anything (and you probably do too) why her hair was edited: Because it looks better. The reason it looks better to me and most people who see it is that we’ve been socialized with racist standards of beauty. And magazine covers of…

Sorry Tyrone, but I need to correct you here. I’m a Dom. That just means I have a kink, not a criminal pathology. With a consenting sexual partner who is a sub (for submissive) I enjoy making them feel small/controlled/conquered etc. I like punishing/rewarding them. I get off on power. And in long term relationships I…

I’ve always disliked “alleged” for almost an opposite reason... it allows you to structure the sentence as if the alleged event occurred:

See there’s the rub. You’re telling this guy to do something you cannot compel him to do (even if he should) and then you refuse to grant him the basic intellectual dignity of subjectivity. If you won’t engage with his perspective, it’s silly to think he’d engage with yours. Wasted opportunity to convert someone to…

The combatively dismissive tone of this article towards a pernicious, yet non-malicious trend in men is unfortunately not constructive. People don’t become “woke” from being chided hard enough.  If you expect someone to change their behavior, you should engage them thoughtfully with some generosity to their…

This is nothing new from Little Richard. His life has been an endless cycle of liberal pleasure binging followed by periods of repentence and religious shame. It’s always made me sad that even his music is often something he views as evil backsliding. When he’s gender-bending, rocking and rolling, nobody does it…

I liked Wilmore and his show, but they both had a major flaw: Larry Wilmore isn’t a good comedian. He’s a funny and quirky commentator and a really good interviewer, but a good portion of his show was usually him flubbing the delivery of pre canned jokes, or him imposing an unnecessary schtick on an interesting group…
