So what you’re saying is that a secret-ish group of many people who represent a significant portion of those who write the news in the US and who are passively or actively resistant to including trans perspectives in their group, despite the fact that they report regularly on trans issues and as a result have a…

As Harron pointed out, the fact that there is not much research and writing about trans issues means that what DOES get published carries a lot of weight and power with the average joe’s reading it. The fact that this cis person has irresponsibly become a sort of spokesman for “trans issues” (putting that in quotes…

The fact that they toss out around the word “groupthink” so freely while ensconced in a secret, private listserv where they happily jerk each other off about how great they are is pretty much the epitome of the problem.

I think the French lady was saying “ours,” which is French for “bear.”

We aren’t going to get an article about all the winners? Has io9 given up the pretense that it is a science fiction website?

joins the likes of Joe H aldeman, Isaac Asimov, and Ursula K. Le Guin as one of the most influential creators working in the field.

Maybe one could rent them by location, kind of like Uber (or maybe a subsidiary of Uber). Then you can arrange for a white passenger or rental-supervisor while driving through certain places, or when shopping.

This shit is ridiculous. Is it going to become “required” (maybe strongly recommended?) for every minority individual to have a white “friend” there to speak to the officer and explain how ridiculous this is without being shot or arrested?

Young white men are animals and should be rounded up, locked up, and studied until we can figure out why they are killing everyone else.

Then later, in between takes, I stood in a corner on the set as the crew reset for a wide shot. My back was against the wall in a corner as Jeffrey approached me. He came in close, put his bare feet on top of mine so I could not move, leaned his body against me, and began quick, discreet thrusts back and forth…

Love how nobody believes trans women.

They don’t have to do it. They are choosing to. Since transition can take years and there isn’t really a rash of trans men looking to attend women’s institutions for the same reason there isn’t a rash of men in general looking to do so, it’s really just a small allowance to a very small minority who’s lives are in…

I vote for Man getting hit in groin by football.

HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT’S IN MY POCKETS??!

I’ve read some of the other stories since the Philadelphia Starbucks debacle. PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR FELLOW WHITE FOLK: BLACK PEOPLE DOING LEGAL THINGS, LIKE SLEEPING OR COOKING OR EXISTING, IS NOT ILLEGAL. STOP WITH THIS SHIT.

I read an interview with the showrunner where he stated that he has envisioned ten seasons for this. I just can’t see how this is possible. Obviously we can’t just watch June endure this horror and try to escape multiple times over the course of ten seasons. I did like the mention in last weeks episode of the Canadian…

Totally. This isn’t about the dogs. This is about the cops and their ability to harass a certain subset of the population and meet their arrest quotas with as little effort as possible.

Wait, are people NOT saying Beyonce is a genius? I am a dumpy middle-aged white dude, I am essentially an anthropomorphic pair of Dockers, and even I think Beyonce is a genius.

You make excellent point. Historically, Hollywood has never pressured women about their appearance.
