I loathe Tucker Max, but this is such a non-story. Why do you care?

Well now it’s stale so who cares >:|

Thank you!

And I live in an area without a needle exchange, and I do see needles on the ground occasionally. There are children in my neighbourhood, too. The frequency of discarded needles has no correlation (let alone a causative effect) with the presence of a needle exchange.

Holy shit, I didn’t know that. Is there a book or longform article I can read about that history? I mean, I’ve always known that the institution of policing in the US is systemically racist, but everything I know about the development of policing as an institution is about English policing, so I’m totally ignorant…

So... #notallwhitechristians?

A near miss. What the fuck is wrong with white Americans? At least I can be reasonably sure my people didn’t make things worse; we’re only 1% of the Alabama population and vote overwhelmingly democratic. But god, the shame! Thank god for Black Alabama voters.

No. It’s not. “Antisemitism” as a term was made up by Germans who wanted a more “scientific-sounding” term for Judenhass (“Jew hate”), which they had previously used. “Semitic” does not apply to people, it applies to languages. “Antisemitism” has only ever been used to refer to antipathy toward Jews. Full stop.

Can we talk about how protestors called for the death of Jews at this event? Not Israelis (which would have been bad enough), not the Israeli government or the IDF command (which would have been understandable, and reasonable), but Jews? I know this site is anti-Israel, and I don’t really care, but this kind of…

“Mere mortals” can’t afford real estate in Toronto. Suits filmed here, so of course she had a place, but anyone who does the barest hint of research about the Toronto housing market knows that what might look modest to someone like, say, the author of this piece, is actually worth a metric buttload of money. I pay…

He deserves it. No tears shed here.

Yeah, no... this isn’t somehow an idea unique to Rihanna, this is just something all makeup lines should do, and in fact, they have been doing it (though obviously not in large enough numbers, and the drugstore brands tend to be lazier about it) for a pretty long time. Bobbi Brown was among the first to extend her…

I have a skin condition too, and I also have dermatillomania. These videos help to keep from what people uncharitably have called “self harm” (though compulsive skin picking is an OCD-spectrum disorder and not a self-harming behaviour). I also know what it is to be disfigured by your skin, in a very public way.

Look: at a basic level, Björk isn’t doing pop music anymore. Not even alt-pop. She has moved on and is making what can only be termed “art music” now. You might think that she’s transcended her earlier, more accessible work to create intricate sound art, or you might think that what she’s doing now is affected,…

Just putting it out there, her self-titled album had some great songs. I still love “Extraordinary” and “Why Can’t I”. Definitely Exile in Guyville was her best work, though.

Drake is a nice Jewish boy <3

Lol, they’re hockey players.

We’ve known that LePage is a pox on the state since before his first term. The trouble is that spoilers kept running and splitting the vote, and LePage was able to take advantage of that. I grew up in Maine and later worked for the MPA on a universal health care initiative (back in 2008), so I know how much the people…

Ugh. He can get a real job like anyone else if being an asshole online isn’t panning out.

It’s not a pyramid, it’s a triangle! Totally different.
