What’s great is that with the Virginia laws, their roots in racism are actually explicit. The New York Times had some great information on that:

this is great. felons losing voting rights is one of the most obvious examples of systematic racism in the US

Jeepers, sheikers, look at all these FUCKING CREEPERS.

SHEIKS.

I seriously got, like, more than 15 emails along those lines when that article came out. That just happened to be one I received more recently.

Not to take away from his feminism but I’ve always found it funny how straight men approached Prince. Hilton Als, for Harpers, did a write up about Prince that I think everyone should read (link will be below quotation).

Chevrolet’s tribute:

Having both parties involved just sounds like more fun to be honest. The whole bonding aspect of it is dumb because everyone in your bachelor/ette party is most likely already really close. So just make both sides even closer and increase your group of friends.

I was privileged to have seen him live, at Coachella in 2008. He brought out The Time and Sheila E and I thought I had entered nirvana.

This is amazing:

She wanted her own show, and she didn’t want to have to do one every day. The Daily Show may have suffered from it, but her new show is so fantastic that it really was a great decision
