    On the American front, I successfully gave both fingers to Montana, overshot New Hampshire and have landed comfortably in Maine. The political climates cannot be more different. Where Montana was...

    Since it hasn't been brought up here yet:

    Sinn Féin has won the most assembly seats in the Northern Ireland election on Thursday. It is a historic moment, the first time the nationalist party has...

    Your lack of support or concern for the individual who has changed his surname and is living in hiding from the family that refused to allow him to follow his own dreams and pursue his own interests...

    So, bizarrely, I have found myself tied to current events. I just discovered that one of my students is the son of Stewart Rhodes, the founder of the Oath Keepers militia group. For those who may not...

    I know we're supposed to rise above stereotyping, but a Prius driver with a gun is quite the novelty.

    We get it, dude, you didn't like the comic because the humor fell flat for you, or whatever. Cool. The rest of us here seem to have a different opinion.

    Did I say that? No. I'm not against trans rights. I've voted in support of them numerous times now. I help trans students through the Allies group I helped form at the school I work at. All I was...

    It wasn't even that, the show runner just dedicated most of the run time to bitching about the political right in post-2020 America. Which, fair, there's certainly a lot to bitch about, but that's...
  13. See, I don't much like the NEVER MEET YOUR HEROES...

    See, I don't much like the NEVER MEET YOUR HEROES line because it encourages us to not bother getting to know people. Because the trend today is, upon discovering a single thing we don't like about...

    While I know that renown and popular personages like Chappelle and Rowling can influence people with their words/opinions, I think the bigger problem here is how easily influenced a lot of people...

  16. I bring up "folx" because it happened to me...

    I bring up "folx" because it happened to me personally, I was in a virtual national conference for professional development and I used the word "folks" when I was communicating in the chat and...

    I appreciate that advice, WBE. In most controversial cases I keep my feelings for art and artist separate and I utilize methods that don't contribute financially to the problematic ones when I'm able.

    There are hills to die on and hills to die on. I prefer the latter sort. I think it's rather harmful and counterproductive to define an individual wholly by and reduce them down to a single thing, be...

    As the one who started the Dave Chappelle line of discussion a few pages back, I'll answer with "I'm okay with comedy."

    What a person considers funny or not, and what crossed lines are too far...

    Not attempting to start a BoTh SiDeS debate, but apparently Dave Chappelle is being targeted for comments about the LGBTQA+ community in his new standup special on Netflix:...

    They have fewer and fewer live voters each day because of the virus. Don't make much sense to blame the Biden Administration for the spread of the plague (though I agree with you that that's how...

    Is it possible to stoke their manufactured outrage in their legions of dead voters?

    I guess I'm glad Eilish has had some success then, her voice just ain't my cup of tea. But I also admit they'll never likely be able to match Adele belting it out.
