Why Ronda Rousey Should Be Dead To You Too

Dec

14

2015

Ronda Rousey has a lot of balls. It takes balls to compete in the World Judo Championships and win. It takes balls to walk into a cage and try to maim some psycho with nothing to lose who hasn’t yet coped with childhood abuse and just wants to hurt somebody to make the voices stop. ...

Clothes Don’t Make The Man, Or Woman

Dec

2015

It occurred to me recently that I rarely see transgendered women (a woman who was born a man and became a woman) wearing gender neutral clothing. That doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, maybe I just don’t notice. Yet I wonder to what extent a person’s gender identity is determined by their clothing, or how clothing really matters ...

Dec

2015

The commonly defined years of birth for the Millennial generation are between 1982-2001. Having been born in January of 1982 I recently realized that I am a proud Millennial. I would like to take this time, as one of the oldest surviving Millennials to give a brief retrospective of my generation. Please be respectful. We grew up withe the ...

Boycott Anyone Boycotting Zoolander 2

Nov

2015

Please sign the petition HERE to boycott people who are boycotting Zoolander 2! *** The trailer for Zoolander 2 has caused some outrage on social media because it features the actor Benedict Cumberbatch playing a pretentious androgynous model with no eyebrows, which is not out of the norm in the fashion industry. The character’s name ...

Waze Proves Artificial Intelligence Will Enslave Humanity

Nov

23

2015

Any discussion about the pros and cons of artificial intelligence inevitably devolves into whether or not computers will ever attain consciousness and then decide to overtake humanity. Even though they don’t yet have the power of conceptual thought, it’s widely assumed this is one of the first things they’ll decide to do before questioning what’s up with ...

Dear College Protestors: You’re Scaring Me

Nov

2015

Dear College Protestors: I am having a hard time finding my Safe Place when I watch what you are engaged in. I should explain that just watching television brings me great pain, as I am offended by several of the commercials and their hetero-normative pandering. I find, for example, all beer commercials to be symbols ...

2015

I was sitting in a restaurant called Sweetgreen on Beverly Blvd having a locally sourced organic salad when something caught my eye. It was a quote from Calvin Broadus Jr, which is the real name of the rapper Snoop Dogg. It said “It ain’t no fun if the ...

Paul Ryan is Not a Real Man

Nov

2015

“I cannot and will not give up my family time.” Those are the words of Paul Ryan whilst throwing in his bargaining chips to negotiate the forgone conclusion that he’ll replace the corporate owned John Boehner, a joyless creep whose job was to bridge the interests of the CEO’s of Fortune 500 companies with everyone else ...

Cecil The Lion Deemed More Important Than Brown People

Oct

12

2015

I found it troubling that I noticed roughly ten times as many posts on my social media accounts about a dead lion than about a U.S. airstrike in Afghanistan which took out a hospital run by Doctors Without Borders (internationally known as Médecins Sans Frontières), which is a humanitarian organization devoted to providing medical aid to ...

The Pope Is Cool With Kim Davis

Sep

30

2015

It was recently confirmed by the pope’s spokesperson, not God but the real one, that he met privately with thrice divorced swashbuckling religious lunatic Kim Davis, who believes in the sanctity of marriage too much to do a job she took an oath, Under God, to do. How ironic. Davis found God in 2011 after her third ...
