What The Eskimos Can Teach Us About PC Culture 2

What The Eskimos Can Teach Us About PC Culture
A lot of my friends growing up were Eskimos. There aren’t a lot of people who can say that. I realize the term Eskimo has recently come under fire, as I have experienced first hand by a lot of heroic white people who have never met an Eskimo informing me that they prefer to be called Inuits now. ...

Why The Alt-Right Are Cowards, And Pussies 4

Why The Alt-Right Are Cowards, And Pussies
Sometimes a photo speaks louder than words. These people, while standing in the White House and in front of a professional photographer, threw up gang signs signifying white supremacy. For a fact. Not much different than if Barack Obama had invited a group of representatives of the South Side Crips over to steal all of ...

State Of The Union 1

State Of The Union
The date is May 4, 2017. The president of the United States is a shitty reality show host with a poor vocabulary. He’s not a self made man, yet is incapable of realizing everyone’s dad didn’t give them ten million dollars. His wife is a Soviet Bloc prostitute. She lives in a building sporting his own ...

Brie Larson Making Change

Brie Larson Making Change
Brie Larson will be playing Captain Marvel in an upcoming film, likely to be followed by several shitty sequels. This makes Captain Marvel the first female Marvel character to have a stand-alone film, and comes on the heels of an upcoming Wonder Woman reboot.

Face Wounds Becoming Overrated

Face Wounds Becoming Overrated
The face wound has long been a cinematic trope for illustrating physical harm. It’s symbolic of greater physical torment.We are to assume that for every cut or gash a person has on their face, that their entire being is suffering ten times over. Your face has a relatively small surface area, and in a combat situation ...

Buying Shit Is Not Activism

Buying Shit Is Not Activism
Millennials have embraced cause-related marketing like no previous generation. This is when a company pulls the heart strings of a consumer to manipulate them into thinking that they’re not just buying shoes, they’re doing something to help people too. It’s tying the company to a specific cause. For every pair of shoes Toms sells, they give a ...

The Trump’s Hair Is Telling 1

The Trump's Hair Is Telling
You can tell a lot about a man by his hair. In the case of Donald Trump, you can tell he is gross, artificial, insecure, ostentatious, and that he is prone to making bad decisions, based on his hair. You can also tell that he is a liar, based on his explanation of what the ...

Ian Hans Lichterman, The Nazi Cop

Ian Hans Lichterman, The Nazi Cop
Whenever a cop shoots an unarmed black guy or pepper sprays a line of peaceful protestors, the default response is a variation of “There are a few bad apples, most cops are hardworking good people.” The ones that I’ve met have been, by and large, total dick bags. Puffing their chests out, parading around the ...

Muslim American Exceptionalism? 1

People are protesting Trump’s so called Muslim Ban in huge numbers. It’s been labeled a Muslim Ban because that’s exactly what it is, and don’t pretend you think otherwise. This executive order is dubiously constitutional, but fascism is now on the pink scale, wait until it hits red. When it does, I predict nothing will ...

Aurora Energy’s Lies Condensed

I grew up in Fairbanks Alaska on the Chena River, a few miles downriver from the Chena Power Plant, which is a coal burning power plant. It is owned by a company called Aurora Energy LLC, which is owned by Usibelli Coal. They are traded on the NYSE. This power plant is destroying the river ...
