My son is 12 years old and he loves Macklemore. I had mixed feelings about him until my son asked me about the first White Privilege song and what it meant. I am so grateful for an opportunity to start an important conversation with my kiddo about our privilege in a way that doesn’t come across as another lecture from…

much better post than the mental gymnastics Greg Howard attempted earlier today

Now I’m kind of curious about a sequel to Sex, Lies and Videotape, now that smartphones are a thing (plus I really love Sex, Lies and Videotape, and think it’s one movie that could warrant a decades-later follow-up).

I think the biggest problem with Macklemore’s sudden rise was that his music was ever considered rap. Sure he raps, but so did Blondie.

I don’t know who distributed the Aristotle pamphlets to all of you internet chucklekfucks, but the day I can read an opinion without some freshman philosophy class diphsit spewing latin thinking he’s Thomas fucking Aquinas can’t come soon enough.

I was not, in fact, calling you a moron, but I’m beginning to think I should have.

Ha, I’m OK, really. As I noted above in another comment thread, I grew up with a parent who worked in hospice care, and death was always freely discussed around my household — not as something scary and terrible, but as something to ultimately embrace, because its inevitability makes life sweeter, etc., etc., etc. (I…

Because I’m not a moron.

Nope, that’s not what I’m saying at all. Nice try.

You seem like fun.

Now I’m paranoid about Roger Daltrey. They had to cancel their tour because he came down with bacterial meningitis and I haven’t heard any updates in awhile. If he dies too, after David Bowie, I’m going to lose it.

He rides a bicycle in Eugene, Oregon?

that this website has no interest in serious dialogue, but rather, juvenile name-calling in a self-created vacuum of ignorance.

Even assuming that the things you’re proposing could actually work, the people cheering for Trump aren’t cheering for the replacement of low-skilled, unpaid American laborers with robots. They’re cheering because they think he’s going to somehow bring back jobs *for them*. The story here is not whether manufacturing…

Well, they can all talk to Jesus, so it stands to reason.
