The Prestige TV Show Hot Take Economy is extremely bad and dumb, but so is arguing that the way that we talk about and depict our world in fiction is irrelevant and not worth talking about in general. Granted that many people do it in a way that is stupid and wearying - that doesn’t invalidate the broader principle…

I was in there three days ago (visiting from Seattle) and almost all the people volunteering there were black, and the vast majority of the rest were people of color. I saw only a couple of white faces. So, yes. Sorry to ruin your snarky “question”, but the answer is an emphatic yes.

Here’s some shit Jezebel didn’t…

I wouldn’t mind if all the religious fundamentalists of the world got raptured right now, so the rest of us could enjoy the planet in peace.

In short, this is an adventure in Ross Douthat’s apocalypse of sexually liberated women and laws designed to harm families, but with a happy ending only he could write. Imagine if God met the man at Yale, but then took him to Hot Topic.

I think my life goal as an academic is to have a crazy republican call my work garbage and publicly throw it away. It would be the greatest compliment.

Yea and how you’re forced to have the same convo again and again. “Are you excited” “Omg so excited! Chubby cheeks and little shoes! I love them already!” and God forbid you say “not yet, I’m actually terrified and don’t feel any emotional connection yet”. It’s not so much being pregnant in public as being forced to…

Congress has actually blocked the CDC and NIH from being able to study gun violence (even though 34000 Americans die per year).

“It’s very rare that someone is involved in a homicide case with someone they just had a baby with. It’s very early to make a conclusion as to what the cause, intent, motive and facts were to this unfortunate tragedy.”

One can be opposed to both child molestation and the death penalty. Both are evil.

I think prenups are romantic! I think it’s romantic to sign a prenup that essentially says “even if one day we hate eachother, I want you to have what is fair when that happens.”

Nah, it IS easy, we just make it complicated because we start from the position that everyone’s beliefs are inherently worthy of being respected.

They aren’t. I don’t care if that makes me sound uncaring. But it’s the 21st goddamn century and this superstitious bullshit and the kowtowing we do for it has got to fucking…

Seriously. How do they get through the ticket counter, security, the boarding procedure and the safety announcements, let alone the flight itself, without even glancing at an unrelated female?

BEHOLD MY SATANIC HERD

Please excuse the following reaction.

Only a couple of hours old but she has some sass so we are giving her the barn name of Sassy. The owners will give her a real name at some point but to us she is Sassy.

Very dirty. And so inappropriate for the elevated discussions on this article.
