I’m in KC, and I think KMBC has just been bought by Sinclair. The second I see “Terrorism Fear Mongering Minute” or whatever I am out. Read more

John Oliver did a great piece on this. This is scary (but not surprising), and completely debunks the “liberal media” trope.

Good lord, that fucking op-ed. Read more

You are so right. I try to avoid using the term myself. When someone argues with me about it I try to just reframe it if I can. Call it what you will, I just think being a decent human being is kind of a minimum standard to be a productive member of society. Something like that. Read more

I don’t think there’s any principal behind it, though. “Political correctness” is a coded phrase insult that rightists use to try and paint more liberal people as fuzzy-thinking naifs at best and narrow-minded anarchists at worst. It’s more often an ad hominem attack than an argument.

My standby response to someone who says “Sorry, I’m not politically correct” is “Nah, you’re just an asshole”. Read more

My sister loves to throw around “political correctness”. She’ll say something shitty and then add “Sorry I’m not politically correct” in this sneering tone that indicates she thinks she’s clever and edgy. I used to argue with her but since Trump has been in office, she feels she has new legitimacy (she claims to hate… Read more

I still see that people don’t understand racism, prejudice and bigotry. You cannot have racism without the latter two adjectives. They are what create the sentiments to think that one race is better or more deserving of anything in life, or the lack thereof. Can minorities be prejudice or bigoted in their views?… Read more
