Gotta say, when Camille Paglia is your main source for your argument, you’ve already lost.
Or, as Evan Hurst noted long ago at Wonkette:
Camille Paglia, as we all know, is the most insufferably obnoxious writer in the United States of the Entire Universe. As the late great Molly Ivins explained in her seminal piece on Paglia’s masturbatory oeuvre, she is a fan of “sweeping generalizations” that always argue from whatever viewpoint she’s finding most contrarian that day, and she seems to revel in it.

Weinstein hasn’t had anything to do with Miramax in some time has he? I thought he and his brother broke away (or were moved along?) and started their own production company a long time ago now…like 15 years or so? And they have been successful. Some big flicks in their portfolio.
re: #25 ObserverArt
Per Wiki:
On March 29, 2005, it was announced that the Weinstein brothers would leave Miramax on September 30 to form their own production company, named The Weinstein Company, with several other media executives, directors Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez, and Colin Vaines, who had successfully run the production department at Miramax for ten years and moved with the brothers to head development in the Weinstein company.[12]

“…The Weekly Standard would hardly suffice as a reliable fact-checking partner given its history. Stephen Hayes, the editor in chief of The Weekly Standard, was a leading misinformer about the Iraq War. He authored a 2004 book with a glaringly false premise: The Connection: How al Qaeda’s Collaboration with Saddam Hussein Has Endangered America. Reporter Spencer Ackerman wrote of Hayes:Hayes, in the Standard, has made a career out of pretending Saddam and Al Qaeda were in league to attack the United States. He published a book — tellingly wafer-thin and with large type in its hardcover edition — called “The Connection.” One infamous piece even suggested that Saddam might have aided the 9/11 attack. Hayes can be relied on to provide a farrago of speciousness every time new information emerges refuting his deceptive thesis. Unsurprisingly, Cheney has repeatedly praised Hayes’s work, telling Fox News, “I think Steve Hayes has done an effective job in his article of laying out a lot of those connections.”

This daycare worker was caught raping a toddler in a Chick-fil-A bathroom, police say
Gray often visited the Chick-fil-A with children, police say, and “manned up and told the truth” to officers about what happened.
It’s not the first time he’s brought young children into the bathroom with him, employees told police.
Gray, who was a daycare worker, was arrested on charges of sexual battery and lewd lascivious battery of a very small child, according to a tweet from Orlando police, along with other charges.

Excommunicate Me from the Church of Social Justice
There is a particularly aggressive strand of social justice activism weaving in and out of my Seattle community that has troubled me, silenced my loved ones, and turned away potential allies. I believe in justice. I believe in liberation. I believe it is our duty to obliterate white supremacy, anti-blackness, cisheteropatriarchy, ableism, capitalism, and imperialism. And I also believe there should be openness around the tactics we use and ways our commitments are manifested over time. Beliefs and actions are too often conflated with each other, yet questioning the latter should not renege the former. As a Cultural Studies scholar, I am interested in the ways that culture does the work of power. What then, is the culture of activism, and in what ways are activists restrained by it? To be clear, I’m only one person who is trying to figure things out, and I’m open to revisions and learning. But as someone who has spent the last decade recovering from a forced conversion to evangelical Christianity, I’m seeing a disturbing parallel between religion and activism in the presence of dogma:

If the account doesn’t really exist, the logical conclusion is that someone on the right made it up out of whole cloth. What’s that say about your kind, brony-boy?
Sinatra (and Paul Anka, who gave him a warning) knew a punk when he saw one.
According to Weisman, Trump started off the new negotiations by saying that the cost for the 12 dates Sinatra was slated to perform was “a little rich.” The Donald also decided he didn’t need to book the other acts that were part of the original deal, including Sammy Davis Jr., who’d just been diagnosed with cancer, and Steve and Eydie.
“Who’s Steve and Eydie?” Trump asked, according to Weisman. Weisman says he then tried choking The Donald by his tie, but his son, who was also at the meeting, restrained him.
Weisman called Sinatra to tell him what had happened, and Sinatra told him he had two choices: to tell Trump to go f—k himself or give Trump’s phone number to Sinatra so that he could do it himself. Weisman returned to Trump’s office and told The Donald “Sinatra says go f—k yourself!”

These Hurricane generated tornadoes are almost always F1 or F2 spikes, not big wedges. DDeb will be fine. Still best wishes to everyone in the ‘hood.
Yeah, still. I live in the heart of tornado country, and an F1 is still not something with which one fucks around. It’ll put a sizable dent in anything that receives a direct hit. At the very least, you’re ponying up for a new roof.
Again, WTF? Do me a favor and stop trying to attribute things to me that I didn’t say.

Sinatra (and Paul Anka, who gave him a warning) knew a punk when he saw one.
Seriously, he’s always been hated by everyone.
Started out damaged, got damaged results.
Still damaged.
But American’s put him there.
I want to puke every single day.

I was wondering about him. Did he say he was taking off from the area or anything about his storm plans?

Thanks for the thoughts—all good here so far. It’s drifting westward again. We’re battened down, expect it to zip up towards Montgomery and Birmingham.

They’re deliberately searching for a fight. I hope they don’t get one; at the very least, it will give them some martyr cookies. At the most, they might shoot someone (or several someones).

People go nuts over something that an anonymous “teacher” said, find out that said “teacher” never really existed, insist that it’s still worth outrage because “others said similar things.”
Sounds to me like someone simply looking for an excuse to bitch.

Except for possible tornado spin-off, we aren’t predicted to have damaging winds any longer. Could get 3-6 inches of rain. Usually, we are the place Floridians evacuate to.

Sexism, homophobia. Honestly I play mostly single player when I play. Not really into the whole multiplayer online experience. If I want to be with people, I’ll chat with y’all here or people IRL.
Another tiki torch march, eh?
Here’s hoping they don’t get the fight they’re obviously trying to provoke. And here’s hoping that there are photographers in the area, taking photos that will result in a new round of firings next week.

I’m in the same camp, mostly. I enjoy cooperative play up to a point, which is why WoW and other similar group-oriented games have appeal, but that appeal is limited and it worked mostly because I made a group of online friends that I stuck with for a really long time. That group is gone now, and I don’t know if I can recreate similar chemistry in another game.

I like single player because it’s a good time to get some time to myself and single player often has the better story. I like games with good stories. Big, big Metal Gear fan.

You’re denying it happened. // But yeah seriously I haven’t seen anyone say they hoped the victims last Sunday were all Trump supporters. However, I did see plenty of religious right people say the people at Pulse got what they deserved for being gay.

I remember the bitter fight over the light rail system. Funny thing is, I’ve found it hella useful for those times when I want to commute across to St. Paul without having to go through the disgusting traffic.

To a point. Trump doesn’t lose much personally with this. It’s his businesses that get fucked over.

“How can this be? He’s not transgendered?!?!”
Thank you! That was a part of what I posted to my Facebook page: That Gray isn’t a member of the group that some Americans insist we should be very, very afraid of entering women’s bathrooms. He’s a heterosexual male who was caught in a men’s bathroom raping a baby and admitted he did it. Imagine that. I am so sick of the lying fear-mongers who make things up out of thin air, and with an assist from RW media outlets spread their BS and vulnerable, addle-brained persons believe every bit of it. Critical thinking is a necessary skill to have in America today in order to be able to separate the truth from the fantasies some deluded persons cook up and propagate, all while claiming they’re doing it in the name of God/Jesus.
