Facebook has been the topic of discussion for some time now. From fake Russian bots masquerading as Americans, to privacy issues, to misleading video metrics, Social media companies have had their hands full as they tries to maintain their reputation. Given all the controversies, it wouldn’t be shocking to report that Facebook has yet again […] More
We told you. We tried to warn you. “Trump is going to drain the swamp! Trump is going to fix our broken tax system!” These were the cheers heard from the right. Trump supporters were elated when Trump finally passed his tax reform. You know, the bill that was great for corporations but thoroughly dicked down […] More
An open letter to the Liam Neeson outrage mob: Christian Picciolini is a writer and public speaker who turned his life around after being a violent white supremacist. He literally beat people to within inches of their lives, simply because their skin was darker than his. He now gets paid to talk about his past life […] More
If you’re anything like me, you watched Trump’s State of the Union speech and afterwards thought “well, those were certainly all words.” But nothing that he said tonight came as a surprise to anyone. It’s more of the same senseless drivel that comes from Trump and his administration. Look, we knew this was going to be […] More
Yesterday, The Independent published a story of their interview with Liam Neeson, where he said that about 40 years ago, he wanted to kill a black person because they raped a friend of his. He said that for a week afterwards, he walked the streets with a cosh (a crowbar-like object), hoping that a person of […] More
I roll my eyes a bit every time I hear someone talk about their New Year’s resolution. Maybe my cynicism has reached an unhealthy level, or maybe it’s because 80% of people give up on their resolutions by February, and ultimately 92% of resolutions fail. And I’m not in the business of being motivational (as […] More
According to NBC News, a Catholic hotel dishwasher in Miami was awarded $21.5 million after a jury ruled that her employer ‘violated her religious rights’ by repeatedly scheduling her to work on Sundays, and eventually firing her. So… How ’bout that war on Christianity, eh? Get our ‘Save the planet’ shirt, on sale now in […] More
File this under “previously unsaid sentences in human history.” Facebook banned my personal account from posting for thirty days because I posted a meme that made fun of Nazis. Really. I’ve been blocked from posting on my personal account more than a few times. It’s the risk you run when you enjoy shitposts – memes […] More
According to Variety, National Geographic has made the decision to pull Neil deGrasse Tyson‘s show Star Talk off the air. National Geographic spoke exclusively to Variety, who reported the following: “In order to allow the investigation to occur unimpeded we chose to hold new episodes of ‘Star Talk’ until it is complete,” a Nat Geo rep told Variety. “We […] More
Nuance. It’s a hell of a drug. Over the weekend, audio leaked from a set comprised of some material that non-consensual masturbatory icon and also comedian Louis CK was working out. The blow back online from what was heard was pretty instantaneous, and probably put Louis in an even deeper public relations grave. Then again, […] More
Not everyone who uses the Internet to go onto social media platforms argues. It just feels that way, and if you’ve seen enough Internet arguments, you know that most people kinda/sorta suck at it. Or at the very least most of us — myself most definitely included — could use a little (or a lot) […] More
Growing up Catholic, I never doubted what the church taught me. Not only was I an altar boy as a kid, but I also was an participant in my church’s annual Christmas pageant and played the role of Joseph, desperately looking for somewhere for the “virgin” Mary to plop out the son of God before […] More
