I’m bitter, but I’m also fairly sure that award was more about several generations of bro’s feelings and not so much about Bob Dylan himself. So, in short, *fart noise*.

Look, let’s be honest about it. The Nobel committee is embarrassing a lot of the time. I don’t know how well the prizes for science and economics is received (since I’m a humanities person myself) but the prize for literature is very frequently politically motivated and embarrassing. The prize for peace as well. It’s…

1000% My 10 year old niece was bullied (starting at age 7) and I am telling you it took MORE THAN 5 PHONE CALLS to get administration to do anything.

That’s possible. I was bullied a lot as a kid. A quick perusal of Facebook indicates that, like me, friends who were really bullied tend to not have any kids, while every single person who bullied me does. One of them has 6 kids.

I don’t have a problem with the speech (well, in the case I do but it don’t think it should be illegal), I have a problem with a church using a public building. If a UU church wanted to use the gym of a public school for a pro-LGBT event I would still have a problem with it. That being said I understand it’s perfectly…

Same way a creation museum shaped like Noah’s Ark can get an $18 million tax break.

Same reason Christian organizations are allowed to teach abstinence-only sex ed programs in government-funded public schools, I guess.

My question is this: How is a Christian organization allowed to do a “Christian interactive experience” haunted house in a government funded public school?

This poor, poor little girl. You know what, it’s quite plausible that she’s devastated at the thought of not having her dad in her life - abuse within families is as complicated as it is horrific, and it could not be clearer that the adults in her life are encouraging her feelings of loss and guilt, rather than those…

It WAS for a noose! Just because his substitution principle is slightly off doesn’t obscure what he meant. Afterall, the AA isn’t going to do the hanging, even though HE is wearing the gorilla mask. Gorilla=AA. Overalls w/Confederate flag backpack w/no shoes recalls=Gangs of white, southern, TN men who would hang an…

When “not lynching” is the upside, I don’t even know what to say. I’d like to say that there’s nowhere left to go but up, but I’m not sure I believe it. This election season is making it hard to not give in to cynicism and just watch the world burn.

I think you hit the nail on the head. There are also just evil, hateful people among us such as this fucking Twatwaffle.

Okay, that’s terrible but 0.004% better than my original assumption.

I was about to ask “why a rope” then realized I didn’t want to know because I can guess.

He Who Shall Not Be Named has made them bold! There’s no shutting this down in our lifetime. Progress in this country is two steps forward, one step back and this right here, is a step back, the backlash to the incredible leap forward that was Obama.

I translated your article back to men-glish so that 4Chan and Trump voters may enjoy it, too.

This was superb, and made me laugh. Well done.

This misses the point. Nico Hines’ staggering ignorance is the least shocking part of this article. The original piece included identifying information about these athletes—some of whom are from repressive countries where violence against LGBTQ individuals is common and sanctioned. With one incredibly crappy…
