If Obama was the first African-American president, Cruz could become the first Cuban-Canadian prez!

The task of replacing Jon Stewart just became a lot easier:

Ted Cruz to announce presidential run

Ideally, the more people understand the meaning of the -splaining suffix, the more it will become a very useful buzzword like "bullying" (although I know from frustrating experience on this board...

Working my way through Dickens' "David Copperfield" and quite loving it.

Can't we just agree to go with the dictionary definition instead of your own personal one? Because (a) it's really hard for us go guess what your own personal definition of any given word is, which...

You reverse-win the internet for that ignorant statement.

When people have their prejudice pointed out, and their privilege, and their arrogance; it often feels to them like prejudice against them. It's all part of a behavior pattern designed to prevent...

A lot of the words in my post, and even some of the words in your post, have different meanings than you think they do.

What we have here, is a failure to communicate.

I usually agree with that, but it's harder with this subject than usually when the topic includes why different groups of people don't communicate well, and the same patterns that the thread is about...

Let's just call one group Group ( ) and the other Group ( .... ); it'll be easier!

One kind of has to to navigate society and survive.

Also, the "-splaining" meme is not about Group A explaining their needs to Group B. It's about Group A explaining Group B's needs to Group B.

My gut feeling is still that Land's hairstyle choice came first (because it is such a "Land look") and then Ewing figured "I can work with that" and came up with the plot line. And with all the...

Have you read Loki, Agent of Asgard?
He's arguably Marvel's most high-profile queer character, and they don't come more tarnished than the God of Lies.

Don't confuse anger with hate.
I hate hate, but I'll defend anger till the day I die.

Seriously?
I think those people whose internalized privileged makes them feel victimized so quickly is never, ever gonna be much of an ally, and good riddance.

Very few, if any, wrongs in society ever got changed without people getting angry first.

Wish The Man still let us post videos, but here is a link:...

When did "hyped" and "buzzworthy" become the same thing? How can you even hear a buzz over the hype machine's noise?

I think it came down to Greg Land finding it harder to trace curls and kinky hair.

Did you read the issue of Mighty Avengers where the issue of her hair is actually brought up? I thought that was...

Come to think of it, hadn't they announced a series called "Unworthy" to focus on Odinson? Those plans seem to be scrapped. I think the reason we're not getting tales of how heroic Odinson can be...
