But isn’t that because he didn’t really do anything wrong?

So Euan Holden is one of two people to have his privacy invaded, he handles it well, he never encourages the harassment of the other person involved, and he is now the perpetrator because, what, he couldn’t stop people from being jerks?

I feel so, so sorry for the woman whose act of kindness (giving up her seat) ended up being used as a jump-off point for Blair. Blair has done nothing but try to turn this into internet fame, asking for free plane tickets and a job at Buzzfeed. Listen, it is this simple: don’t fucking photograph someone without their…

So, Rosey Blair started this all, suggested people find the woman without her permission, suggested that the woman had sex in an airplane toilet, and we need to talk about . . . Euan? At least he was involved. It’s his story, even if it involves someone else and he didn’t handle it perfectly. (Why would a random…

Hi, Illinois native of the city of Family Video origin here. I lived in Springfield, IL when Netflix on DVD started to become a thing, and Family Video hung tough. And then a few years later when streaming was unstoppable, they continue to hang on for the same reason RedBox kind of has in the rural Midwest -- people…

1 year, 2 months. Not “2 years.”

“Man, it had some teeth not that long ago.”

Black activists in the future hijack the program and make Robocop go after corrupt cops. That’s a movie I’d see.

This is an oddly truncated version of the history of Haiti, which after the second revolution, was an endless parade of despot after despot (emperors for fucks sake), not the least of which was Boyer, who enacted indentured servitude, slavery, to a degree that there were mass emigrations to the US when slavery was…

Gender critical feminists aren’t conservative. You didn’t do any research. We’re leftists, often Marxists. We support abolishing gender and believe there’s no shame or sickness in being a gender non conforming man or woman. That gay men and women don’t have to switch to the performance of the opposite gender to be…

I’ve been watching Babylon 5. So far I’ve gotten to Season 4. It’s really impressive how tight-knit the show is with continuity. Especially since they swap protagonists in Season 2 and the show doesn’t miss a beat. 

I think that “rad” is coming back in the sense that people of our generation are waxing nostalgic about their youth and thats all well and good but the reason 80-90s cars are so hot right now is only partly because of rose colored glasses. It was because it was a golden age of cars - new enough that reliability was a…

Quite often “I don’t care” turns into active hostility at the first sign of difference, and “I don’t care what you are as long as you’re invisible” gets right at that double bind mentioned in the article. 

You try not to yet...

“Over her 23-year career in tennis, Serena Williams has never tested positive for any illegal substance despite being tested significantly more than other professional tennis players.”

The article quoted this almost in its entirety, and provided the same context you did. I’m not sure what your complaint with it is.

Why don’t you, independently and in your own free time, read up about the objections to straw alternatives before making somebody do your homework? This was the throw-away article you chose to write. If you want to pretend it’s serious now that someone’s made a legitimate and actually quite well-worn objection, maybe…

I am disabled. I cannot drink any liquids without a straw. By law I’m entitled to public accommodations. It’s not a small thing. What if I don’t have any in my bag? Why don’t people just tell me to carry my own portable ramps? I could get different sizes and strap ‘em to my wheelchair and ask people to help me... It’s…

If you have temperature sensitive teeth, it allows you to drink very cold drinks. It can also save your teeth from the effects of soda and coffee, which your dentist might appreciate if you drink those things.

Posted it before, but found this hilarious.
