@IBentMyWookie Imagine, if you will, an entire editorial board populated by white dudes. GROUND-BREAKING.

On Free To Be... Straight White Males
@stuffisthings Holy shit. We just solved the internet. The problem is people are using it in rooms without other people looking over their shoulders, so when they look around they feel like they are just talking to themselves and people who look like them. We just need a few Benetton-diverse "shoulder guards" standing watch behind every internet user's chair!

@David Roth Good points (and I liked this piece) but I feel like I can ONE HUNDRED PERCENT imagine him saying this out loud in certain contexts - drunk at a bar on a friday, for instance. The internet doesn't (in my experience) create new thoughts and ideas for people, it just seems to make them think they are worth sharing.

On Flashback! Sexy Lady Tells All, Sells Self, In 1997
I don't like the "if this happened during INTERNET everyone would've slutshamed her!" argument, since people were DEFINITELY still doing that in 1997, just in the privacy of their own homes. We need to internalize the idea that the internet just lends everything a false air of respectability, because "words" are "written down somewhere." (Sort of like we need to get over the idea that being a "published author" means anything impressive.)

The Civil War looks like a bunch of sad letters.

On Bad Times For Mexico
@roboloki About 2,000 guns were sold to the Sinaloa cartel - they're anti-Zeta, but I'm not sure picking one drug cartel over another is laudable.

On The Past Actually Is Past
My comments are stylistically influenced by the works of Cervantes, but philosophically influenced by the raps of LMFAO.

@IBentMyWookie Depends: How would you describe Harvard and Yale educations?
