[ Western liberals ] are perfectly fine with their own Western white males selling and raping girls and women in their countries

I was in the UK a couple of weeks ago, which has its own home-grown sexual harassment scandal in Parliament. My mother (74) and I watched a very good debate on TV between 3 women, one of them probably in her late 20's or early 30s, another in her 50's and another in her late 60s. It was really striking how much of a…

Someone writes something you (quite likely entirely justifiably) don’t like (and that possibly represents in some way the worst of misogyny) and your response is to hope that they are killed?

Just FYI, A.O. Scott in the NYT called it “perfect”. Literally.

As much as I don’t want to see RvW overtuned (I’d rather see it expanded in various ways), and as much as I oppose the unlimited interpretation of the 2nd amendment ...

What does frustrate me is people going into making records digitally and it’s not even something they played. [When] the engineer is like manipulating something into something that was never played live to make them sound like better musicians…

I was offended (old white guy offense). I played it to my wife (old white lady). She couldn’t see the problem. I pushed her on several dimensions of its inappropriateness. She refused to budge. Made some remark about “you and those jezebel women”. Go figure.

Who could resist such a bargain?

That is not what they said. They said they would break away if the vote was positive regardless of turnout.

Confirmed. Installed a week ago, and although it is not the absolute best shower head ever, it is not far from it. All for around US$20!

There is NOTHING stopping universities/colleges from paying adjuncts more than they do.

I may have flipped that example around. It’s “par-sta” here in the US where I live.

If you want to fight for families, you have to get into politics. The merch is not very interesting, the snacks are never vegan, and a lot of the other people involved are obnoxious and never shut up. But that’s civic life—forever in need of a new paint job, forever in need of someone in charge of marketing who…

I was born in the UK, have lived in the US for 28 years, and I can assure you that the simplest way to go from US English to UK (Southern) English and back is to follow a very simple rule:

I’m a grump old white dude, not a hipster millenial (*). I don’t use Facebook and I rarely see anything on Instagram. This drink is on prominent display at several supermarket chains in my area. I think it’s delicious and great and I love it.

Absolutely not my experience.

Words in general have little meaning anymore. We invent words on the fly, change definitions of what established words mean to fit our political sensibilities and we outright turn words into insults whenever it suits us.

“BATON ROUGE, LA—As punishing wind and rain from the former Hurricane Harvey made landfall, government officials urged Louisiana residents Wednesday to evacuate dangerous lower income brackets. “Given the extent of the potential destruction, we urge anyone in the path of the storm to make their way to higher median…

I’m also an old white guy reading Jezebel for the same reason. And yet I can imagine Baldwin (and others) pursuing that line of questioning with a male documentarian. Not sure what that says about either of us.

There’s going to some Collateral damage from that reveal ...
